Crafts and Me Butterfly Keeper in Aqua

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well! This stamp really spoke to me as many of you will know I raise butterflies from caterpillars so it just suits me! I couldn't wait to play with her!
I have stamped her in Memento, then coloured in with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Sakura pens then accented the butterfly globe by coating it with Glossy accents for a 3D effect.
I then cut her with a nestie but I only wanted the shape on the one side of her for a different look so I cut the other three sides off using my ruler and craft knife.
I used Papermania Aqua Capsule collection papers and made a two patterned border under the nestie. I then placed this on a card blank covered with Henbury Lane papers for the flourishes. I then cut two butterflies out of the Capsule collection papers and added matching gems to them, and to make a trail from them. I then added three in the top corner. Lastly I added a felt bow with a button stitched on which complimented her hair.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Divas By Design: Flourishes
Allsorts Challenge: Buttons and Bows
I love Promarkers: Die Cuts
The Paper Shelter: Bling it on
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges: Anything Goes
Lets Ink it Up: Bling
Stampin Sisters in Christ: Build it up

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate you taking the time to cheer up my day!

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.
