Waffle Flower Challenge - April



In the april challenge on the Waffle Flower blog there is a photo to be inspired from. I really liked the colors and the flowers and I knew straight away what I wanted to make. I absolutely love this doily die, but it's quite tricky to cut so I thought that I could fold it to look like paper to wrap flowers in. By doing that I would hide any mistakes. Since it's quite detailed I wanted the flowers to be more simple, so they are just circles and scalloped circles. Even the leaves are circles, folded in halves.

The patterned paper I cut the circles from is my absolute favorite paper. With this project I used up every little piece that was left of it. I'm actually a bit sad!

To finish the card off  I added some transparent sequins in the middle of the flowers (circles), blue sequins and some dew drops in the bouquet of flowers.

CiLi in Papers februariutmaning

Hello!

CiLi in Papers februariutmaning var att skapa ett kort eller ett Projekt Life-kort utan mönsterpapper. Utmaningen kunde inte passa mig bättre eftersom jag sett ett projekt hos Epiphany Crafts och inte kunnat hitta något liknande papper i mina gömmor. Jag beslöt mig för att göra en stämplad masterboard! Masterboarden skulle passa ett ljusgult kort med gulddetaljer så jag fick blanda till en akrylfärg. Provade först med Distress Stains men hittade ingen nyans som passade.
Stansade sedan ut 'hello' ut guldfolie, la till lite guldfolie under masterboarden på kortet och klistrade dit lite paljetter. Bara masterboarden var klar gick själva monteringen fort.



Målade ett stort akvarellpapper med en mystisk grågrön färg



Första lagret stämpling i en annan mystisk grågrön färg.

Två stycken färdiga masterboards - en stämplad med
akryl och en med stämpeldynor




Det färdiga kortet på masterboarden som blev kvar.
Perfekt att ha till ett annat projekt!



Jag hade fint sällskap i pysselrummet idag!

12 tags of 2013 - August

 

 

I'm late as always. And Tim's right as always! Frayed burlap and pumice stone really went well together and I really liked the vintage feel to it. He also writes on his blog that stamps are by far one of the most versatile creative tools and with this masking technique I sure have to agree! I haven't masked a lot before because I have been too lazy. But it sure makes the trick!

 

 

As Always, Tim used stuff I don't have, for example the mask sheet from idea-ology. I used a scrap piece of paper to stamp on and then a temporary repositional adhesive. And since his metal embellishments are rather expensive in Sweden I made my own metal tags by stamping into UTEE. I love this color, platinum, since it looks like metal. I have been using this UTEE a lot before, but I think I'll use it even more now when I know I can make fake metal tags with it! ; )

 

 

This wasn't the last time I used frayed burlap and pumice stone together!
