Song of Ice and Fire altered canvas

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Mixed Media canvas post.
 This pretty large canvas was made as a tribute to one of most favorite books- Song of Ice and Fire (also most of us know it as the most famous TV production named " The Game of Thrones").
I am a big fan of all things fantasy and SF and everything that maybe is not real, but makes me happy to watch or to read it.
So I made it for a couple of web challenges and you can see the challenges under the project photos.
As you can see it has the vintage Mixed Media background made with stencils, texture paste, Prima Mixed Media products , Tattered Angels  paints and mists.
Then I added the smaller altered canvas over the large one and then the tag was added with the chipboards ad trinkets cluster and the saying.
 Actually I used a lot of products over this canvas: painta, mediums, waxes, micro beads, silk and paper flowers, chipboards, metal pieces, cardstock die cuts, foil transfers, stencils, lace, chain, wires and even this fabolous jewelry ice drop on the front.
And I even used nver used old brads to make the grid background to look as the wooden pieces connected in this oldfashioned style.

I made this project for a couple of web challenges:
Favortie book for Canvas Corp- my inspiration came from old books with vintage looks, journal cover on the bottom and general colors.

Fantasy for Mixed Media and Art- my inspiration came from the theme and gold splashes and general fantasy look of this canvas.

Topflight stamps: Studio light and Craft Emotions

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first October TOPFLIGHT stamps post.

This week the DT was challenged to use Studio Light  and/or Craft Emotions stamps and I used both on my fancy shabby style card.

As you can see this card was made over white cardstock die cut front piece using the Studio Light background  180 stamp, clear embossing ink and black embossing powder.

Then the colorful background was made over the heat embossed image using a mix of Ranger Distress Oxide inks and water and I need to say that this is the most beautiful background made in just a few seconds.

The main image- Bird- was stamped  in the same way with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder using Birds-Spring from Craft Emotions.

Then the hand cut image was colored with Zig Real Brush water colors markers and glued over the cluster of embellishments made with clay frame, chipboards, flowers, leaves die cuts and a Love word die cut. 

Here are  the stamps I used to make this project:

Background stamp-180

Birds- Spring

I really hope that you like my shabby card and would try to make a similar one with Topflight shop gorgeous stamps from both shown companies.

Garden Party wedding layout with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new BoBunny inspirational post.
Irit is here today and I am going to share a Wedding page made with the new, most gorgeous Garden Party BoBunny collection and my lovely daughter wedding photos.
This collection is the perfect match to her last year garden wedding and the greens of her photos fit perfectly to the greens of the collection.

As it's a wedding reception layout I decided to add golds to the page and used  gold glitter paste over stencil on the edges first.

Then I added gold spray over the whole page.
The chipboard hearts, die cut flourish and the die cut titles were painted with gold liquid Pentart paint and they sure shine!

As I wanted to add  this " something blue" item to the layout and the groom's outfit is light blue I added blue lace and some blue jewels to make it less monochromatic and a bit more interesting. And I found this blue lace and the metal black with blue trinket in another new collection ephemera package (Family Recipes).

So don't afraid to mix and match! It works.

@Mom card

 This easy to make card is just lace, circle dies and old American Crafts Thickers.
But it was in print in Garden April issue of Craft Ideas magazine.
I am so sorry that this magazine is out of print from the next Summer issue.
Less and less print magazines are now on the market.
Is it good that everything moves on- line? Not so sure. I still love the printed things and the smell of paper.
Don't you?

Prickley Pear Lace card

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Prickley Pear Rubber stamps inspiration.
This card was made for lace theme and I used Papericious cardstock that was actually laced and added wedding Prickley pear images.
The stamped images were heat embossed with clear embossing powders and  hand cut. The sentiment was stamped with smaller same swans image in the same way.
I used stamps from Heart Key Crown clear stamps set for sentiment spot and Love Swans red rubber stamp for the main image.
Lace bow was added on the left with some paper flowers over it.

Vintage tag

My new very much die cut vintage tag made with Prima products and tons of dies from different companies.

As you can see I just adore dies and as so I added them to each and every level of this layered tag.

Papericious Whimsical pack tutorial- Spring Printers' tray

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit  from Irit Shalom designs is here today and I am going to share my easy tutorial made with the most gorgeous, just released Whimsical collection.

This time I made a big wooden altered printers' tray (old piece from 7 Gypsies, but you can find the cheap version in any craft shop).

This tray contains 12 ATC size pieces and I decided to use three photos and to make all other 9 pieces as embellished cards and then to embellish  over the tray for more interest.
The tray was already painted in dirty white color and I didn't change it.
 First I am going to show you the whole altered project and then  I made the step by step tutorial for you to use.

The side view of the tray shows the layers and the over the tray embellishments.

Some corners were embellished with new Papericious fabric flowers and new Papericious chipboards.

This is a view of another over the tray embellishments cluster:

Triple Spring canvas

 This triple canvas was made for some web challenges.

 Lucky me - I had some spare time before I got some of my new DT boxes to work with and thanks to Israeli " speedy" post service they are not here yet. 

So I decided to scroll the web and to find a few Mixed Media challenges I can combine in this triple art piece.

I made two card sized separate canvases and then added them both to a large canvas.

Each of the small canvases was covered with texture background using stencils and stamps and then I added two clusters of chipboards, flowers and other clustered items.

The large canvas was textured on the edges only as I wanted it to stay flat for the smaller ones.

Here are some close- ups to this project:

  

 And now to the challenges I made this piece for (cross my fingers they like it as it was quite a lot of work and mostly of drying time).

Creative embellishments- Spring- I took hot pink and flowers as my inspiration. Some of the chipboards are from CE
I Am Roses challenge- Anything goes with IAR products- half of the flowers on this project are from IAR
Scrap and craft- chipboards


Mixed Media world- Anything MM with watercoloring
