A little bit shabby

Hi everyone welcome, welcome, welcome...
Today I have used the colours of the mood board as my inspiration
and theme for my card.
The card base I have used measures 5 x7 inches.


This is the mood board for this month

Image may contain: text


Cut the background pattern paper to 4 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches
using an edge distresser or your scissors, distress around the four edges.
Crinkle up the top right side corner. 
Then tape to your card base. 
Don't tape to the edges just incase you want to add anything underneath.
Curl up the edges here and there.
I went through my stash and found some different
laces and some wedding veil tuile.
Nothing is really measured. I just layered the tuile then the laces
on top of each other to give some shabby layers.
 I fussy cut out 2 large and three smaller flowers. 
You can always use pre-made ones if you like.
I distressed around the edges of the flowers, 
then cut the petals to the centres.
Scrunch them up then straighten a little.
Glue one large and one smaller flower on top of each other.
You will need two of these. Three flowers in total.
I added a little doily in the centre of the flowers and also some blue
string pearls.
Glue all these down then add some tuile and feather yarn underneath the flowers etc.

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
