Forever Friends Pink Parfait Shaker Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose
I have to start somewhere and this is my favourite project I have made recently.
I used Forever Friends Pink Parfait papers and decoupage pack here, acetate, self adhesive pink gems and assorted pink sequins.
I first used the image of the flowers on the paper to frame my image for my shaker element. I then took the frame and cut acetate slightly smaller to fit underneath the frame without showing any edges. I attached the acetate to the card frame with thin double sided tape. I then used sticky pads around the bottom of the acetate and frame, all connected so none of the sequins would escape! I put the sequins onto the image and then stuck the frame over it. Then I highlighted the pretty pattern on the paper by sticking gems into the flower centres, and added a 'You're one in a million' greeting and added a couple of gems to it to tie it all in.

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.
