Happy Birthday Card ► Majo

Hi Everyone,

it's Majo here today to welcome you to a fun make using the awesome Grungy Butterflies.


I was asked to create a Birthday card for an older lady who loves Butterflies to pieces, but doesn't like any "bold & beautiful" colors. Her choice would have been black & white with "glimmer".

Well, I was able to talk her out of that  .... at least. No glimmer for and from me.

I decided to keep the colors mute by using kraft cardstock and my contribution to glimmer was heat embossing. If she turns her card a bit, it will shine, and therefore she has some resemblance to "glimmer"

I stamped the main images randomly over the panel and heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Powder. After stamping the Birthday Greeting I decided that I needed some frame, so I added the beautiful and delicate leaves from the Grungy Flower Set.

The sentiment is part of the set Happy Birthday.

 

 
The following stamps I used:

Happy, happy Birthday from the set Happy Birthday 
Leaves from the set Crazy Flowers 2
Butterflies from Set Grungy Butterflies

 So glad you had the time to stop by. Happy Crafting and Happy Weekend ♥

And don't forget our monthly challenge is still underway

Please pop on over to our face book group where you can pop your entries in and be in with a chance to win an awesome prize.

Happiness is a state of mind - Art Journal Page

Hello Everyone, Shilpa from the Design Team here. I am sharing with you a journal spread, for which I've used Rubber Dance Nostalgic Couples , Something Wonderful and few other stamp sets. Here's my procedure... To make the texture on the journal page, first I cut out this piece using a die. I adhered that die cut pieces on pages and applied embossing paste through stencil.  Let it dry completely.   To bring colours to the page I spritzed randomly with  Peacock Feather, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo distress inks. To create one more layer I stamped circles and text on the page. In addition I applied colours from distress crayons to create depth. I stamped the Nostalgic Couple on another paper with black archival ink and coloured it with distress markers.   I adhered a few embellishments and ephemera and layered the lovely couple image onto it. On the other page, I added words fro

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho

I Wish I Could Art Journal - by Bibi

Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether what I've made for today can be called an art journal page or altered canvas, because it's really neither .. It's not a page in a journal and the "canvas" is a piece of cardboard, so... maybe it's a hybrid of sorts. No matter what it's called, here it is! And this is what it looks like with the guitar flap open: The reason why I made this .. "whatever it's called" .... is that I've had this bundle of guitar string-looking wire lying on the floor in my studio for some time. Yes, on the floor! (If you thought I'm a very neat and tidy person, I'm sorry to burst the illusion). I've no idea where that wire bundle came from, and I'm not sure why I hadn't bothered to pick it up... but I've looked down on it from time to time, thinking I could probably use it for something, some fine day... .... and then, a few weeks ago a friend of mine was visiting, he pic
