Some room decor

It feels like forever since I had a completed project! I've been waiting on supplies to arrive, although I have a ton of crafting stuff there never seems to be just the right product I want to use!  So my project for the past several weeks has been to get my 4 year old daughters room ready for her to use.  In case your wondering, yup she still sleeps with mommy! We let her pick her room color which is go go lime because green is her absolute favorite color.  So to give it a nice contrast I did her name in blue, the first letter is a pressed wood letter I bought ages ago with her room in mind and only recently started planning it out.  The rest of her name is done in bazzil blue cardstock, I thought of doing this in a blue vinyl, which I don't have, so in an attempt to use what I have I did it in cardstock.  I decided cardstock would be best since I cut out the dandelions in white vinyl, that way I could pop it off the wall some for dimension.

I colored the image with copic markers which unfortunately I just left laying on my craft table for so long I don't remember which image has which colors.  So it can be a fun guessing game!

Copics used:

E29, E25, E21, E37, E35, E31, E33, E17, E11, E04, E00, E000, C10, C8, C5, C3, C2, C1, C0, R29, R27, R22, R20, Y18, Y15, Y13, BV17, BV13, BV11, B06, BG05, B000, G09, G05, YG07, YG03, YG00

Materials used:

Tiddly Inks - Whatever!, Wryn swinging by, Rainbow pixie dream
Tim Holtz stencils - dot fade, argyle
delta creative - inspirational stencil
My favorite things - linen
Dylusions paint - fresh lime
Stampendous! - frontage shabby white embossing powder
Wild orchid crafts - white pearl flower trim, assorted daisies
Ranger - Texture paste transparent matte
Silhouette - stencil (dandelions)
Indigo Blu - Autumn blaze mega-flake

I used my copic airbrush to edge each of the letters in B69

I used embossing powder to drop from the clouds.  More white came out then gold (lol) making it look more like snow then just something magical pouring out of the clouds like I had intended.

Used some blue bakers twine to make her swinging from the letter n. I used Love Letters font for the allon.

Storybook mixed media

I have to say looking at the challenges on the Simon Says Stamp blog I came across Catherine Cowles DT make for the patterned paper challenge and was totally inspired. So when starting to put together my 4 year olds room I knew I had to make something that looked like my little pony for her since she loves it so much. I wanted to give this picture a story book look to it and couldn't help but think that Catherine's card was the perfect inspiration for this!

Dylusions paint - London blue

I started off doing the grass with the zig clean color but I'm not that great with water colors so went over the top portion with my dylusions paint.

Decoart dazzling metallic - festive green
Ranger Tim Holtz distress ink - mowed lawn
Liquid pearls - watermelon, buttercup

I then glued down my patterned paper to the lower half to cover up my hideous water coloring skills.lol

 

I colored the ponies to look like my little pony characters and although it doesn't show in the picture put wink of stella in their manes. I fastened them down with foam tape.

Ponies:

Zig clean color real brush - colbalt blue, dark pink, light pink, pale pink, light gray, wine red, red, orange, yellow, lemon yellow, may green, deep violet, violet, light violet

A card for Hallee

As many of you have probably read on face book or the internet about Hallee Sorenson and her very lonely birthday last year. I read the article, and being a mother myself my heart went out to her.  Kids can be cruel and a lot of times unintentionally thoughtless.  After reading some of the comments on the facebook post I discovered that Hallee likes zoo animals. While I don't have any zoo animal stamps I do have a few little furry critters to use. I wanted to help make Hallee's birthday a special one this year so this card was specially made with her in mind. 

Clearly Besotted - best birthday
Purple Onion Designs - Stacey Yacula: Riley, Lilly, garden trees, Tucker
Stampin up - endless birthday wishes
Silhouette Online Store - a2 box card: birthday, 5 grass shapes, cloud

Owl - E53, E51, E37, E35, E34, E33, E31, E30, YR27, YR24, YR21

 

The animal balloons were colored with zig clean color real brush.  Unfortunately I did them awhile ago and set them aside for a future project and don't remember the colors I used!

 

 

I stamped the balloon strings with stazon jet black ink onto acetate and used a double sided tape to adhere everything to the acetate.

Birthday fish shaker card

Today I've done another shaker card just because I needed to craft something!



Tiddly Inks - "Inking of you squidy", and fish from "Peanut butter jellyfish", "Snails galore"
Visible image - Ink splatter
Sizzix - Tim Holtz waves embossing folder, framelets ovals
Ranger - Tim Holtz salty ocean distress ink
Washi tape
seed beads
Uni posca - white

The seaweed and star fish are from the silhouette store "underwater scene". If you look closely I have little pieces in the shaker card that are starfish, crabs and fish they are from another Tiddly Inks Mermaid stamp set that I stamped on shrinky dink, colored, and melted.

For the colored background I used Zig clean color real brush Deep blue and Persian green.

 

I used the Visible Image "ink splat" stamp on the inside and used Messy brush font because I thought if a squid had to write under water it would most likely be messy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pirate mixed media

Upon coloring this my 4 yr old asks me what I'm doing.  I show her the pirate I'm coloring and right off the bat she insists that this is going into her room.  So now I have to turn this image into a mixed media piece to be hung on her wall. Luckily I still have some shadow box frames left!

Julia Spiri - Pirate Charlotte digi stamp
Zig wink of stella - gold
Gelly roll pen - silver, gold
DecoArt  - Dimensional effects texture paste
Bobunny - bronze glimmer spray

hot glue
assorted sea shell embellishments
sequins
Goosebumps shimmer texture spray

Copics:

Skin - E04, E11, E00, E000, R20
Eyes - G09, G03, C5, C3, 110

Feathers - C7, C5, C3

 

I first colored this digi stamp "pirate charlotte" with the intentions of making a card. But when my 4 year old asked what I was doing and I showed here the picture she demanded it be for her room.  Which mind you she doesn't sleep in yet! So turned this cute digi into a mixed media project for her wall.

 

 

 

This is a pretty wide box frame so I decided to make the ocean extend out to the floor of the frame.  The paper was perfect for the image wish I could tell you which designer paper it was but this was a piece of scrap I had left for a while now.

 

 

I sprayed the cheese cloth with my bobunny shimmer spray and hot glued some shell embellisments.  I also hot glued it to the inside of the frame. After that I created my treasure pile by just laying down a puddle of hot glue waiting for it to cool down and add more for more height.

 

 

As you can see here I painted my hot glue pile with DecoArt metallics gold paint. I then randomly went over spots with tombow aqua mono liquid glue and threw some seed beads on it.  I used foam pop dots to adhere my pirate. once my glue was dry I brushed off the excess beads.

 

 

And finally the inside is complete with the addition of some random jewels and shells. And no self respecting pirate treasure is complete without a skull!

 

 

 

 And finally the finished product! I used a dark walnut stain on the out side of the frame.

Thanks for stopping bye!

Dude Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends! I've finished this card a few days ago but finally getting around to sitting down and blogging it.  I wanted to make a card for my friends sons upcoming 10th birthday so it couldn't be something to cutsie!  So I've created this CAS card and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Materials used:

Bloobel - Steampunk digital stamp
Visible Image- Ink splats
Zing - gold embossing powder
Gelly roll pen - white, blue stardust, gold, silver
Zig Wink of Stella - clear

 

Copics used:

Skin - E13, E11, E00, E000

Pants - B99, B97, B93, B91, W3

Shirt and boots - C10, C7, C5, C3

Metal pieces - 110, N8, N5, N2, N1, W7, W5, W3, W1, B26,E08, E97, E13, E37

Shadow - C2, C0, C00

 

 

Not sure if you can really see it but I used wink of stilla on the word dude, which by the way was printed out along with the image the font is called "sick capital vice". I also used all the gelly roll pens on the small bolts on him since they were to tiny to use markers and get a shine in there.

 

 

Finally the inside of the card! So here I used the same font.  This time instead of printing it since it is on black cardstock I used my silhouette cameo to sketch out the lettering and filled in any open spaces by hand.

 

That's all  I have for this card thanks for stopping by!
