Rose Petal Love

Hi Friends~ Today I have a fun project to share with you!  When I first saw the Rose Petal stamp in the New Mini Sampler Edition #1 by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD I immediately thought of Anne Geddes!  I have admired Anne's photography forever.  If you are unaware of Anne Geddes she takes fabulous childrens photographs!  Some day when I have children I am hoping to have some fun baby pictures influenced by Miss. Geddes and now by Elisabeth Bell with her brilliant beauty! 

I found this gorgeous shadow box/photo frame on one of my shopping excursions.  It actually was a compose your own monogram frame...however, when I saw it I knew I could add some beautiful flowers, and a gorgeous image to make this a beautiful wall hanging.

Rose Petal was colored with Copics.  Star Dust stickles was used to accent the rose on top of her head.  I wanted to use my Champagne Pink Wild Orchid Roses, so that is what inspired me to color the roses on my image the pink and yellow that they are.  The background that Rose Petal was popped up on has been created with Viva Decor Pearl Champagne Modeling Cream and my Dreamweaver Flower Lace Stencil.  I love how using the Modeling cream and stencil adds such an elegant look to this amazing image!

Flowers of course are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts and the arrangements consist of 25mm Wild Roses, Cherry Blossoms, 6mm closed rosebuds, and 15mm Roses.  Again all flowers came in the Champagne Pink color (one of my ultimate favorite colors from WOC!)

For this angle I am hoping you can see all of the sparkle as well as the beauty from the Viva Modeling Cream!  Thanks for stopping in to see my creation! 

This wall hanging will be for sale in my Shophandmade Store shortly, if you are interested in purchasing it.  For those of you unfamiliar with Shophandmade....It is VERY similar to ETSY except it has LOWER selling costs associated with listing your items for sale!

TIOT #82 - Three Things from SCACD + A Stamp

Hello Friends~

It's Thursday....and that means it's my 1st day of school!  Ahhhhh....where did my short summer vacation go?!  At least this should be my LAST YEAR in school....Woo-Hoo!!!!  The count down is on!!!  Yippy!!!!

Thursday also means it's TIOT over at SCACD!  Today Suzanne has challenged us to use 3 products from SCACD & a stamp too!  Ooooo I think I went a little over board...used way more than 3 products!  I can't wait to share some of the NEW products with you!!!

I decided to make an Underwater Themed Card using one of the KKS from the Mermaid collection, this cutie is Arianna.  Isn't she adorable?  I figured since summer is coming to an end I would ink up this beauty before the leaves start to fall.  I've used papers from K&Company Jubilee collection!  Viva Decor Turquoise Pearl Pen was used in the upper left hand corner to get the custom size pearls I needed.

Arianna has been colored Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  Then I've used the BRAND NEW TonerTex Pen and Glitters on Miss. Arianna's tail and fins!  OMG you sooooo have to get one of these...it makes applying glitter so easy and with little mess!  Suzanne has a fab video -->HERE<-- showcasing this fab product!  Check it out if you haven't already!  You can also use this pen to add beautiful foils to your products!  I have projects coming up using the foils!!!  Now I'm hoping you are wondering how I created my water scene behind Arianna.....well this is a combination of Dreamweaver Metallic Gold Embossing Paste mixed with Eye of the Tiger Mica powder to get this fun warm sand.  After I mixed the two together I just smoothed it on my white cardstock to dry.  The water is created using Viva Decor Precious Metal in Blue Lagoon, which is a metallic paint that I just applied to the cardstock as well....and Voila one water scene created! :)  The scene is then popped up on top of the Brand New SB Beaded Ovals!

Now for these fun seashells....aren't they so stinking cute?!  Love them!  They were made using the Dreamweaver Scallop Stencil.  I mixed Dreamweaver Metallic Gold Embossing Paste with Glacier Mica powder to get this beautiful blue-green color and it shimmer golds as you turn the card! Absolutely gorgeous!  Then I grabbed my TonerTex Pen and glitters again and edged all the seashells to give them some bling!

I hope you've enjoyed my sample today!  I lost count....but I'm sure it's WAYYYYY over 3 products that I've used for you! Hee hee!  Hope you all have a wonderful day and for those of you in the US I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!  Our town hosts a huge celebration all weekend so we will be busy with all of that.  Hubby and I work the annual car show every year....so that will be my whole Saturday...but no school on Monday because of labor day....yay maybe I can get some crafty time in then! :)

TIOT #81 - Dreamweaver....PART TWO

If you've seen my post from yesterday you will know that the TIOT challenge this week over at the SCACD Blog is to use Dreamweaver Products.  Yesterday I shared with you my card and today I would like to share the cute gift bag that I made to go along with this card!

Here is the set together using the Aurora - Bee Mine from the Aurora 2 Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD.  Papers are from the Basic Grey Olivia Collection.

Aurora was stamped on the bag using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I've used Suzanne's wonderful Fabric Stamping tutorial.  I heat set the stamped image before coloring with Copics...remember if you are coloring on fabric to use a very light hand as the fabric soaks up the ink very fast.

The swirls were made using my Crafter's Workshop Swirly Q's stencil and Copic ABS to airbrush the swirl with colors to match Aurora.  Then I took my Viva Decor Glitter Liner in Hologram to outline the swirl to add some bling.

Flower are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Flower arrangement consists of two 25mm white roses (that were airbrushed to match the blue in the papers), and three 15mm pink roses.  All flowers have been sparklized with Star Dust Stickles.  Then I took my Swirl punch to make some swirls to add to the flower arrangement and stay with the swirl theme.

 Finally is the tag that uses the same Basic Grey Olivia papers.  Pink part of the tag was accented with stamp from Tiny Tags and sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (both from SU).  I hope you've enjoyed my gift set! 

Remember all Dreamweaver embossing pastes and micas can also be used with the Crafter's Workshop Stencils! :)

**Shopping Alert**  Susana is just rolling in the new products over at SCACD...and let me tell you she has some fun and wonderful things coming in!  Check out the NEW Spellbinders, and NEW Tonertex Pen, Foils and Glitter (this product looks AMAZING...I can't wait to try this out!).  Happy Shopping!

TIOT #81 - Dreamweaver

Happy Thursday Evening everyone.  Hope you are having a wonderful week!  For this week's TIOT challenge Suzanne has challenged us to use Dreamweaver products...if you haven't tried out these amazing products you really need to.  They add a whole new level to your cards (especially with the embossing paste!)

Sorry my post is late today...I finished my sample yesterday and then had a date last night with my sister to go and see the country band Gloriana at a local fair.  They totally rocked and the best part was that the radio station Y100 upgraded our seats to the 2nd ROW!  How awesome is that?  We were sitting in the way back (the cheap seats) and the radio people came and asked us if we wanted to sit in the 2nd Row.  At first I thought they were kidding, but they weren't!  We had a lot of fun!

Now onto my card for today...

For my card I used Aurora - Bee Mine from the Aurora 2 Collection.  Papers are from the Basic Grey Olivia Collection.  The double bow was made with my Bow Easy.

Aurora and her Bee friend were colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  The background behind her is made with my Dreamweaver Flower Lace stencil.  I taped the stencil with removable tape onto a piece of white cardstock.  Then I took my Copic ABS and airbrushed the stencil with colors to match the papers to create Aurora's background.  There really are so many uses for these stencils.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Flower arrangement consists of a pink Classic Sweet Rose, a 25mm white rose (that was airbrushed to match the blue in the papers), three 15mm pink roses, and 6mm closed rosebuds.  All flowers have been sparklized with Star Dust Stickles.
