MixMedia Friendship Tags

Hello and happy summer to you all.

I am back here with another challenge at the House of Cards. This month the theme is 

STRIPES AND OR COLORS.

Here is my tags for the challenge.

My stripes are the ribbons, the gesso and the texture of the cardboard, also choose the colors. 

Did not find my tags, (still unpacking) so I made some from a cardbox. 

For texture I took of the top layer, which I stamped the sentiment on, and the bottom layer made the texture for the tags.

Have used Gesso, Gelatos, Acrylic Paint markers and paste on the backgrounds. Leftover ribbons, (could have used paper scraps to) old watch parts. These I used alcohol inks on. The other metal embellishment did get layers of light gold paste and green gelatos. 

I also had som diecuts in yellow and green, worked perfect here.

On this one I added som micro micro glas beads.

And this got some yellow star sequins.

 This is the color theme for this challenge. You can also choose stripes or both.

Hope to to see your creations for this challenge.

Have fun crafting in the sun

Treasure chest - Skattekiste

 Hi all.

In this post I will show you my first 3D work. I've designed this from scratch in Silhouette program and cut it out with my Portrait. 
I had fun working on this, although it took me some days :D 

Must say I'm pretty proud of the result.

Created this as a gift for my nephew who was had his confirmation this May.
One of his hobbies are graffitti, so I hade to use drops and splatter too.

Do you want to see? Here it is.

I have made the chest in kraft cardstock. Used an embossing folder it looked like wood, 

for a realistic look.

Fittings , locks and hinges , I found in the Silhouette Store. I cut them out in black cardstock. Used some Silver Inka-Gold to get a worn look on all the black pieces. And placed a black enameld dots on the spots there should have been a spike. Hide the magnets in the front and in the sides. And stylish feet I needed to have too.

And to the fun part. I made a stencil in acetat for splatters in different sizes and used Pearlize paint and a lot of diffrents sprays with it, Glimmermist, Stephanie Bernard and Mister Huey's. 

I also use these to get droplets on the chest togethet with Trion acrylic paint markers.

The big flowers accedently got sprays and mist on so I just sprayed water on them and they turned out fine. Flower from WOC and Petaloo.

 Fore embelishment I used watch parts and springs and dark bling stones

Well hope you like this and got inspired, Thanks for looking.
