Every Day is a Special Occasion Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good morning everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here with a card I made to contain a special message for my friendship positive message swap with my friends. This one is obviously for my friend Kirstin! I used My Mind Eye papers, and used the paper with a frame to write her name inside with my fountain pen. I then decorated this frame with a light pink butterfly. I cut the dress form and sentiment paper and made it into a focal point for my card. I matted it on pink cardstock, and embellished with pink gems and a butterfly. I then made a border with paper, rose ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, scalloped cardstock and pearls and then placed my image on one side of this. Lastly I used glitter domes for the top left hand corner.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Emergency Crafters: Polka Dots
Memas Crafts: Anything Goes
Seemacrafts: Vintage
vintageudfordring
Everybody Art Challenge: Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown: Vintage/Shabby
Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments!

Crafty Ribbons/Fiskars LED canvas

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well. I am here to share a backlit canvas using my Fiskars tools in a rather unusual way. I took the canvas off from the frame and folded it in half to randomly punch across the front of the canvas. I kept the cuttings for later. I then stapled the canvas back onto the frame. Next I stapled muslin fabric across the front of the canvas. I then added Clermont Cotton Lace across the bottom of the canvas as a border. I then got out my flexmarkers and coloured the punched canvas pieces in three complimentary colours. I then asked tiny gems to the centre of each and glued them randomly like flowers across the muslin fabric.

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

Alkaline Trio lyrics mixed media canvas

By sparklingblackrose
I am here to show you a canvas I created using printable cotton, cotton batting, plastic vintage style frame, acrylic paints, die cut foam, metal embellishments, glitters, texture pastes and nail caviar. The lyric fabric I created in a craft program then printed onto cotton, and placed in the frame after I had stuffed the frame with cotton batting.
