Playing with paper

 


I cased this card from one I saw somewhere on the internet, but did not take note of the designer, sorry
For the background, I used a piece of old sheet music and sponged with DI and layered onto my black card base
Using a torn scrap of cream card, I diecut the design and also coloured with DI
I arranged the fabric leaves and flower onto a wreath and attached with glue dots

Vintage Beauty

 


Welcome friends
Today's card features a lovely stamp that a friend lent me, I believe it is by Kaisercraft.
I made the background using shiny card, Brusho's and cling wrap. I love the results you can get with this technique. I have roughened the edge and run a purple ink pad around, then layered onto a green card base.
The sentiment is raised with mounting tape.

Steampunk

 


Welcome everyone

Today I have 2 ATC's to share with you, something I have not made for such a long time, and I had forgotten how much fun they are
The theme is steampunk and I have printed my background images and added embellishments. The bicycle one is printed over the background, and touched up with a black gellyroll pen.
The cogs are stamped with Hickory Smoke DOX.
I added some  distressed silver peeloffs to both, and the first one has an old watch face attached. 
The edges are sponged with Black Soot DI
I would like to enter into the new  Steampunk Challenge #1

I then decided to make these into cards

I dry embossed 2 pieces of mirror card and swiped over the raised surface with Brilliance graphite black, then heat embossed with a black EP
Layered with black and then onto a black card base

Purple!


Welcome
This is my first post using the new blogger, so hope it goes OK
I would love to get rid of the extra step of redirect when reading blogs, it is so unnecessary. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful

I have followed this sketch from Sketch Saturday 
the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, and I am not sure about the butterfly
I used snippets of black and white for the diecuts

Vintage!


Hello crafters

Today's card uses a sketch from Poetic Artistry
I used 3 designer papers from my 6x6 Authentique pad, which I have had for some time. I layered onto some black paper to make the design stand out. I diecut the 2 circles and stamped my vintage car (unknown brand) onto a scrap from my snippets box, and coloured with copics. I also used  Dimensional Magic on the windscreen to look like glass
