Male Dragon Shaker Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose

Here is a Male Dragon Shaker card.
I used my Tim Holtz distressing paint on the frame, left it overnight to leave it to crack and dry properly.
I then used coredinations behind the image inside the frame, a dragon image as my focal point, then added a collection of sequins in greens and gold to match the colours in the card.
I stuck acetate onto the reverse of the frame, then used foam pads to make a secure barrier so the sequins would'nt fall out. I then stuck the frame to the coredinations background and then to the card.
I used a patterned paper on the bottom half of the card and a green and yellow ribbon to tie it all in, with a gold embellishment in the corner.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges
Fairymoon Crafts Challenge 32 Following the sketch,
Cards for Men Male Birthday

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.
