Two Paper Divas~ Get your READ on...

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' make I made for

using this month's newly released Doodle Alphabet....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this set and the adorable A Little Birdie Told Me and String of Stars sets. 

I made a cute lil' magnetic bookmark :o)

  

I started with a piece of Watercolor 140lb Cold Press Paper cut to 3' x15' and scored it at 7.5'.  I then used Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Blue Lagoon, Abandoned Coral and Crushed Olive to create my background. Then I misted thru the TH Typo Stencil with water to create some texture in my background and thought it added to my "READING" theme. lol.

I stamped "READ" with the Doodle Alphabet in Jet Black Archival Ink and paper pieced the birdie from the A Little Birdie Told Me set onto word DP. 

I finished by stamping the String of Stars set in opposite corners and highlighting with a white Signo Gel Pen.

I also did the back

then I added a magnet piece to the inside and covered it with Black Cardstock and voila...a cute magnetic bookmark.

I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty!

Join me next Friday to see another fun make using another of JULY'S FUN NEW RELEASES! ;o)

Two Paper Divas~ Say it with Vellum

Happy Friday Crafty Friends, 

I'm back to share with you a couple of lil' makes I made for

using Vellum with May's newly released String of Stars and Yes to Sprinkles. 

 I embossed some vellum with both the String of Stars and a sentiment from the  Yes to Sprinkles set. I cut the vellum  longer on the folded edge than my base card (4.25x5.5) and glued the vellum down from behind.  Some bling finished up this card. Voila...a pretty CAS card that says A LOT! lol. 

 

 And since I had my embossing powders and vellum out I made another card with the same sentiment but added  my go to embellies of twine and buttons. But I have to say the top one is still my favorite...hehehe.

I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty!

Join me next Friday to see a new make using Two Paper Divas Stamps.:o)

Faery Ink~ Demera Star Angel

Good Morning Crafty Friends, I'm here to share a mixed media Poster I made for

This month I got to work with "Demera Star Angel"
for my my inspiration. 

I just fell in love with this image when I saw it! I just love the detail on the wings and her star halo!

 

Isn't she just gorgeous???

I've been on a Mixed Media kick lately, and had so much fun creating this! I created the background using parchment paper...yep..parchment paper. Love the texture it gave. Simply crunch up your parchment paper and then glue down onto your canvas, cardstock or paper. I used 140lb mixed media paper with Matte Medium for my adhesive. Allow to dry and then have at 'er. lol. 

I used Gelato's in blue and gold, then went over it all with Stampin' up Teal Ink pad. I then added some Paper Smooches Star  die cuts and created my own sentiment on Pic Monkey.

I colored this angelic beauty with Spectrum Noir Markers and Prisma Color Pencils. Here's a closer look:

and

Prize: 3 Digi's

I was excited this week to work with the Princess Leia Image from Sassy Studio which can be found here.

Here's what I came up with:

I colored the digi with Spectrum Noir markers and Smooch in White (boots) and Silver (Belt, Gun).

 I did a sunburst for the background. (Technique found here) I embossed the Blue pieces with the Star EF from Cuttlebug and the Black pieces with the Cirles EF from Cuttlebug.

I then used the White Mica Fragments from Stampendous to create a crater rock effect. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think?

The sentiment was created in word and die cut and layered using the Spellbinders Curved Rectangles. Stars, bling and stickles (yellow, silver and Diamond) were used for embellishments.
