Dainty Butterfly Blooms

 

Hello crafters!    Today I would like to share with you my mixed media card.   I created it using these ingredients:

Scalloped card base - my stash

Background paper is 49 and Market - from Scrapbook.com 

The flowers are from - 49 and Market (Laser cut shapes) and from Tim Holtz Ephemera Pack called Field Notes

I buy the 49 and Market on Scrapbook.com as they have much to offer.

Also Tim Holtz ephemera was purchased from Hobby Lobby.

And the antique lace is from Cindy's Laces her shop can be found on FB.

I made this card for the Festive Friday's group that's on Outlawz.   There is a challenge going on now!

We hope to see you there! 

Happy Crafting!

And to show the bling & sparkle

Here's how I made this card: 

The snowflake design was made by using a Diamond Snowflakes Stencil by Altenew and a Gelli Plate to get the desired effect.

The bling is from Hobby Lobby, as is the card stock.

Distress Oxide in Stormy Sky and Salty Ocean is the ink for the background.   I really like how it turned out.  :)

The image was colored in using Prismacolor Pencils.

And glitter for the "ice" is from a glitter pen found at Close To My Heart.

Stickles in Frosted Lace was used to create the snowflake dots.

Sweet lil' Vintage

 Greetings!      I haven't been crafting very much lately, just couldn't seem to find any inspiration.   Well,  we've been getting tons of those junk flyers in the mail lately, due to the upcoming election.   And as much as I wanted to tear them up and just toss away... another thought came to me, why not use them for a project.   My creative juices started to flow.    Here's what I made...

I started out with a 10 x 5 inch junk mail flyer, and added pieces of vintage papers to collage.  Brushed on mod podge to seal the papers together, went around the edges with distress oxide, in vintage photo.  Added in some lace here and there, and beads across the bottom.   This really makes a cute wall hanging for my craft room.  Almost forgot to mention, this is: 6 x 5 inches.   I call this my Sweet lil' Vintage project.  

I wouldn't be a bit surprised, if most of my followers have moved on to greener pastures,  but, I am going to try my best to keep this blog updated.  Believe it or not.   :)  

If you have come by to see what's up...  let me know by leaving a comment.   It would really make my day.  

Happy Autumn, happy crafting!
