Another Clipboard

This clipboard I altered for my friend Hels, for her Birthday.

I covered the front of the clipboard with distress crackle paint and then used a gold krylon pen around the edges.

I took a thin piece of card and covered the top half with some DCWV paper and the bottom half I covered in K & Co paper. I took some chipboard letters and covered them with broken china distress embossing powder and then I triple embossed them using clear UTEE. I took a beer bottle top and squashed it using my wizard and I coloured the inside of it gold using my krylon pen and then added a blue fabric flower. I attached the letters and beer top onto the top half of the clipboard.

For the bottom half I firstly stamped one of my new Tuscan Rose trellis stamps using versamark ink and then put gold embossing powder on and heated it. I took a blue brad and covered it with broken china distress embossing powder and heated it, I then added this to the centre of the stamped flower. I then edged a chipboard piece with gold krylon pen and added a blue dragonfly brad and then attached this to the clipboard.

Birthday Card

This card I made for one of my friends birthdays. The blue backing paper is K & Co, which I mounted onto cream card. The stamped image is a Tuscan Rose stamp, which I stamped a couple twice onto white card. I cut out the full image and then cut out the top butterfly and the framed square so I could 3d them. I coloured the stamped image using various distress inks and the butterfly and frame sqaure I coloured with distress inks and then used a versamark ink pad and clear UTEE to give them a nice glossy finish. I attached the butterfly and square onto the card using foam pads. I then stamped Happy Birthday onto the card, but I don't think it really goes too well with the overall card.

Vintage Birthday Card

This is another card I have made today. The colours on the image aren't really that bright.

I used another of my new Tuscan Rose stamps for this card and stamped it using sepia versafine ink onto white cardstock. I used distress inks to colour the stamped image and highlighted the stop watch using glossy accents. I mounted the image onto gold mirror card and then onto white card. I edged the white card with gold ink. The backing paper I used is from one of my DCWV stacks and I put this onto my white card blank, leaving just a little of the white around the edge. For the sentiment I used a gold peel-off (well I've got tons of them and need to use them up!). I put the peel-off onto a piece of the DCWV paper and then mounted it onto white card and then gold mirror card. Just to finish the card off I went around the main card with my gold ink pad.

Lost in France - SS Week 20

Well what lovely weather we have today, the sun is out and I've been crafting :-)

This card I made for the Hels Sunday Stampers Challenge "This week the challenge theme is France. As usual, the challenge is to use stamps, inks, paints, mixed media etc to make your creation, be it a card, ATC, Scrapbook page...the choice is yours".

I used one of my new Tuscan Rose stamps and stamped using black versafine ink onto white card. I then coloured the image using distress inks and cut n dry foam. I stamped the word PARIS again and cut it out and covered it with 3d gloss. I then stamped the quote, which again is a Tuscan Rose stamp and coloured it using distress ink. I then mounted the stamped images onto gold mirror card. I used a piece of scrapbook paper, which I edged with gold ink and then mounted it onto the white card. I added the two stamped images and then used a large gold brad to attach a prima artful collage flower to the card.

As this weeks challenge on Daring Cardmakers is to use a quote on your card, then hopefully this card will qualify for that challenge also :-)

Also, this weeks challenge on My Time To Craft is to use brads or eyelets on your card, so I'm going to sneek this one in :-)
