Dolphin Love ATC Lady Beans Blog Feb 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with the Lady Beans Blog Spot. I am sharing an adorable digi set from Judy Markowitz  of The Coffee Bean Stamping Machine, Dolphin Love.

I enjoy creating ATCs litlte works of art , Artist Trading Cards, which are to be traded, not sold. I thought this cute dolphin would be perfect for a ATC!

                                                                   Cute? Right!

I printed out the digi set, fussy cut all the pieces out. I colored the dolphin with colored pencils and then inked the edges of the sentiment. I matted the pattern paper with a kraft background, pop dotted the dolphin and adhered the sentiment. Quick and cute!

Snow Maiden Vintage Clip Board

Welcome Back Friends,

I am excited to share  my Feature Day project with you for the Gecko Galz Blog. I am smitten with the beautiful images from Gecko Galz Etsy Store, I am like a kid in a candy store!

The beautiful image I used here on my vintage clip board is from the collage set Snow Maidens .
Isn't she beautiful???

I began my project by covering the clip board with patterned kraft paper. I then used a snow flake stencil with white gesso and stenciled on snow flakes. I trimmed my image, inked the edges, and inked the edges of the clip board. I adhered the image to the clip board, added the pearl on the clip. I then inked the edges of the chip board flourishes, and inked up the kraft snow flakes, and adhered them in place. I added a few gold flat back pearls and a sheer white bow with a few pearl headed straight pins, bringing the piece  together.

Camouflage Altered CD Art APTTC Feb 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here sharing my project for  A Perfect Time To Craft. Thank You to our wonderful sponsor this month, Sheepski Designs.

I started my project off with a old cd. I roughed it up a bit to be sure that the pattern paper would stick, After adhering the background paper, I sprayed the paper lightly with gold shimmer mist. While that was dying I punched out the leaves, the flourishes, and colored Camouflage with colored pencils.I fussy cut Camouflage out and set it aside. I sprayed the cheese cloth with walnut stain, and rolled the bamboo skewer in the left over stain. Assembly began next, I glued down a piece of  card board for dimension and to act as a extra substrate. Next came the stained cheese cloth loosely tacked down to the card board. I then worked the skewer into the cheese cloth, Using pop dots I adhered Camouflage as if it was on the stick. Arrange and adhere the leaves, the flourishes and beads,

Snarky Valentine Shadow Box ATSM 2/2020 #375

Welcome Back Friends,

Happy Valentines Day! Robin here with Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge Blog, sharing my project for February. Our theme is a photo inspired.

I love to use found items, recycled items, or second hand items in my projects, recycle, reduce and reuse. I picked up this box for ,25 cents at a garage sale last summer! It was time to do something with it.

I started by cleaning off the window of the box. Next I cut a piece of card board to fit inside the box. I then covered the cardboard with pattern paper. I used a paper distressing tool and ran that around the image. and inked the edges with walnut stain ink. I then created a mat for my image, using corrugated cardboard, inking the edges and covering it with a piece of red lace. After adhering  my image to the mat, I matted the whole piece one more time on pink pattern paper and inked all edges. I hot glued the framed image to the piece with the pattern paper. I them embellished the upper right hand corner with silk roses and pearl picks. I then tied the box shut with the ribbon on the side and hot glued white heart lace around the edge of the frame on the front of the box. I stamped my snarky sentiment  " I thought we agreed, no more garlic bread" ! I repeated the silk roses and pearl picks above the sentiment to tie the project together.

Grab a box and create, then join us on the challenge blog!
