A Little Bit Crafty-Less is more! Midway Inspiration

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good morning everyone, hope you are well! I am here with some midway inspiration for our 'Less is More' challenge at A little bit Crafty!
I used a new die for the butterflies in the shape of a heart-its a Memory box die. I began by cutting a panel to fit the front of my card. I then put this through my die cutting machine to get the butterfly heart effect. The butterflies arent cut completely from the cardstock, just the edges so they give the look of flying. This is a challenge for how to include colour in these so my workaround was to paint the butterflies with assorted colours of cosmic shimmer. So in person this card is really pearlescent in look. I then added a panel of pearlescent cardstock in a complimenting colour behind my butterfly panel. This shows through the undersides of the butterflies too.
I then mounted all onto a card blank.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
 Through the Purple Haze: Dies/Punches
Party Time Tuesdays: Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps: Anything Goes
Lil Red Wagon: Monochromatic
Inspiration Destination: Anything Goes
Brown Sugar Challenge: Anything Goes
Crafts 4 Eternity: Bright Colours
Sister Act Card Challenge: Anything Goes
Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments!

    This is stunning! I thought that you had placed each butterfly individually but after reading about that die, I have another thing to add to my wish list!! The colors are brilliant and I wish I could see it for real as I bet the pearlescent look is fabulous!!! Thanks for joining us at Through the Purple Haze Challenges!! Come back next week!
    Hugs

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.
