Book Page Flowers...

Good morning everyone!

A new challenge starts today over at Try it on Tuesday and this time we want you to use Book Pages on your projects. I made a couple of cards featuring Lawn Fawn's Stitched Flower Frame die. 

The backgrounds were created with acrylic paint, bubble wrap, distress ink and Stampendous Grunge Script stamp set. My book pages are from a used paperback book that I bought from a thrift store for a $1.00... what a deal! I glued the pages down with matte gel medium to a piece of heavy cardstock, once dry I cut the flowers out and then distress the edges with ink. 

I used a Penny Black die for the stitched rectangle, a Tim Holtz stamp for the sentiment and for a little extra sparkle I added Stickles Moon Dust Glitter Gel to the flower above- it's so sparkly IRL! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful creations! 

Take care... Tammy x

Good morning everyone... I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

It's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly and the theme is...

Monochromatic! 

My card features a couple of succulents from Lawn Fawn's 'Stuck on You' stamp set. I used Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness DOI for the images. I also used the same ink colors for the splattered backgrounds and for the embossed portion I used a burlap folder from TE. The cactus paper is from Doodlebug Design, I cut the sentiment out with a SSS die and to finish it up I added a few enamel dots.

  

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog for more Monochromatic inspiration.

I'll see you soon... Tammy x

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas and the theme this month is...

Festive Things with Wings.

For my DT card I used the adorable 'Winter Sparrows' stamp & die set from Lawn Fawn. The sparrows were stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. The birch trees & sentiment are from Avery Elle's 'Let it Snow' stamp set. I stamped the snow using Altnew's 'Snowing' stamp and pigment white ink, the trees were cut with Newton's Nook dies and coated with Glitter Dust Spray. 

The trees look black in the photo but they are actually stamped in a brown archival ink. I think next time I stamp directly onto kraft cardstock I'll have to make sure I use a lighter ink color :)

Well, that's it for today- thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful cards.

Good morning everyone!

 I have a fun card to share with you today that I created with some of my new crafting goodies that I won :) Thank you Vicki!

It features several cute images from the 'Nutty or Nice' stamp set from Lawn Fawn... all of the images were stamped with SSS Intense Black ink, colored with Copics and then I fussy cut them out. I used Avery Elle dies for the stitched rectangle and snowbanks. For the background I blended some Mermaid Lagoon Oxide ink onto mixed media paper and then flicked some water on it to create a snowy affect... to finish it up I added some crystal gems and a little detailing with a white Posca pen.

Good morning everyone!

I wanted to pop in today and share a couple of Thanksgiving cards with you... they feature the adorable Lawn Fawn Thankful Mice Stamp Set and dies!

I created the backgrounds on both cards and for this card I used a few of the leaves out of the fabulous Apple of my Pie stamp set from Simon Says Stamp... the leaves were stamped in VersaMark ink onto Kraft cardstock and the extra leaves were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copics.  

On my second card I stamped the background with VersaMark ink & Inkadinkado's Sketchy Flourishes and then I added some tiny paw prints stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. 

Well, there you have it... two fairly quick and fun Thanksgiving cards! Thanks so much for stopping by~ I always look forward to your visits and wonderful comments!
