Love is in the air

Hi crafters!

It's time for new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

 

I used this adorable Love is in the Air Elephant image. I used a text editor program to print one "normal" and one reversed image. I also modified the sentiment from Love Always sentiments set before printing it. I coloured the image and sentiment banner with alcohol markers and white paint pen. 

 

Then I made the card base - I stamped the edges with a stamp from Love Hearts stamp set and fussy cut it. I die cut a couple hearts with Squarey Swirly Hearts die and coloured them also with alcohol markers. Lastly I taped the images, sentiment and hearts on card base with a foam tape. 

 

I really love the contrast in this card!

Steampunk(ish) birthday card

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Make your own background". 

I used this cute Steampunk Girl image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I used the colours from the background I had done earlier. 

 

 

To create the background I taped aluminium tape over a cardstock and then embossed it. I added some acrylic paint and Distress Oxide and scratched the coat a little bit so that aluminium tape is also visible in some spots. Lastly I coated the whole background with some wax to protect the paints and inks.

The sentiment is also die cut from aluminium tape coated cardstock, then painted with acrylic paint and Distress Oxide.

Winter birthday fairy

Hi crafters!

 

 Here again with a Moondrea Designs DT work 😊

 

This time I used this beautiful Winter Fairy image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I wanted to stay mostly with a cool/blue/white colour scheme but added a hint of gold and green.

The background I made with sprays, let it dry and then added some snowflakes with a stencil and glittery blue paste. When the background was ready and dry I added the image, sentiment and some die cut snowflakes.

Pancake Day

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

 

I decided to use this adorable Pancake Time image, coloured it with alcohol markers and added some highlights with white gel pen and white paint marker. 

 

I used the papers from Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 and sentiment from Pancakes and Waffles greetings bundle 2, designed the look with a text editor program and then printed them. I cut the purple paper with a cutting die, added acetate sheet on the backside and then foam tape on the edges (on the backside also). After I had checked that there were no openings on the foam tape line I added some glitter and confetti and added the background paper. 

 

When I taped the girl on the front it seemed to need something more so I added some precoloured images (honey and cherries) from Winnie Fruit Punch Embellies Bundle and "draining syrup" I made with Grungey Slime stencil, Distress Ink and Glossy Accents. 

 

Delicious!

Snowdrop maiden

Hi crafters!

Something new for a new year - this is my first post as a Moondrea Designs DT member. I'm thrilled 😊

 

And the first image I used is this beautiful Snowdrops Maiden. I coloured her with alcohol markers.

Winter fun

Hello!

I'm honored to be a guest designer on Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 😊 The sponsors of the challenge are All Dressed Up Stamps and Colour of Love. Theme is "Anything goes" so come and join the fun!

I used a Feeding the Birds image by All Dressed Up Stamps and coloured it with alcohol markers. I die cut it, coloured the edges and added glitter. Then I added some snow with white paint marker.

 

The background I had done earlier with Distress ink pads and now I embossed and die cut it. I also die cut a little bigger blue cardboard and glued them together. Then I added some white stains/drops with acrylic paint and paint marker, some white die cuts and glitter on the edges.

Lastly I taped the image on the background with foam tape, added the snowman and the sentiment.

Happy winter!
