Scrapology March challenge

Hi folks!

There is a great challenge over on Scrapology this month. It's a scraplift inspired by a page by the talented Gabrielle Pollacco and the technique is to add dimension. I've been wanting to scrap this photo of Isabelle for the longest time and took this opportunity to do so.

I have used papers by K&Company. I cut all the swirls, the large circle and scallop mat using my Gypsy and Cricut. The layer under the photo was created using an EK Success border punch.

I used the Tim Holtz tattered florals Sizzix die to create the flowers. I cut the layers; spritzed them with mica sprays; inked the tips of the petals; scrunched them up; layered them and secured them in the centre with a brad which I topped with a small rose. I used a Basic Grey stamp for the title which I stamped and embossed in gold.

Ciao for now!

Hi folks,
Just had to share this card that I made with Joanna Sheen's, just launched 'wordy' stamp sets. I had the idea as soon as I saw the stamp which has the wording cleverly shaped into spectacles.

I stamped and embossed the image onto acetate (it was just out of my scrapbox and I don't think it was heat resistant, hence the warping.... but I quite liked that) I cut out the glasses shape and used a black copic marker to draw in the rims. To get Granny's shape, I stamped the image onto some copier paper and drew her face. I then grabbed some peachy and grey cardstock and separately traced the shapes onto it. I shaped the pieces with my fingers and a large ball tool and added some colour using chalks. I thought she would look great mounted onto black card (which I had embossed and rubbed with metallic rub-on) which was layered over another piece this time punched with a dainty border and coloured with a pink copic marker to match the flower gems. I stuck all the pieces down with dimensional glue gel and added the mouth and chin details with a black fine liner. I finished the card off with some self adhesive flower gems.

I cut the circle and scalloped circle with Nestabilities and stamped the sentiment which was also from the stamp set.

Such a fun card to make, hopefully it'll make someone smile.

Ciao for now!

Delightful Day - fairy acetate card

Hello fellow crafters.

Here's an acetate card I wanted to share with you using one of my Enchanted Forest Fairy stamps. A simple card with a bit of stamping and colouring, punched flowers and leaves.

I used Woodware punches for the flowers and leaves and punched through glitter card. I shaped them and adhered them to the acetate with dimensional glue. I added self adhesive pearls to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment is part of the stamp set. I coloured some cream narrow ribbon with my copic markers to match the leaves and tied the diddiest little bows.

The fairy is stamped, coloured with pro-markers, cut out and her wings have been glittered. I cut the fairy shape out again on blank card and adhered directly behind the character and on the inside of the card providing vital space to add the greeting to.

I hope you have enjoyed my fairy projects. If you have and would like to start collecting the Enchanted Forest fairies Joanna Sheen has a great offer on one of the sets... here

Ciao for now!
