Hi everyone, As soon as I saw the cute critters in Photoplay's  'Wild Love ' paper collection, I knew that I had to make cards that featured them. I really wanted to make mixed media cards using the extras I picked up along with the core products (see my unboxing). So I grabbed these and my Ranger  Distress Oxides  as well as the  journaling cards     and the  sticker sheet   as main elements. One more element that I used to make the card front was this  Letter It card stock  from Ranger. I am delighted that it held up to mixed media and stamping use! Mixed Media Technique 1 - Stencilling and Distress Oxide For this card, I used the Kaisercraft stencil and 4 colors of Distress Oxide on the card stock (which I trimmed to 4" wide) : - Iced Spruce, - Salty Ocean, - Picked Raspberry, - Peacock Feathers, I then fussy cut the journaling card with the cute bear and attached that to the ...

Hi Everyone, I have finished one of my watercolor journals from last year and I just needed to go finish it off by working on the cover so that's what I'm sharing with you today.  I love the combination of yellow (fossilised amber and wild honey) with the peacock feathers Distress Oxides in the mixed media background. The stamp I used was Kaisercraft's 'Scrap Studio'. A paper doll (Tim Holtz) as the focal element plus a few pieces of ephemera from Echo Park's 'Just be You' die cuts which give this piece it's title. I also decided to do a little cluster of lace and ribbon overplayed with a butterfly in the bottom right corner which turned out so lovely in combination with her dress and the sentiment. Here is the front cover : And the back cover: It came together very quickly and Im so happy to be packaging this little journal off and sending it to it's new owner - shhhh it's surpris...

Welcome back to Day #4 of the #HalloweenPlayChallenge. Today I am playing with this magnificent Feather & Ravens die!!! We have crows here in Australia which made me wonder what the difference between a raven and crow is. I did go off and have a look. If you are interested, see  HERE Back to my card :) I assembled my die-cut elements on a water color card front and it sparked such a wonderful scene in my mind that I knew straight away the scene I wanted to create. I used my Distress Oxides to create a beautiful night sky of greys and blues (Faded Jeans and Iced Sprice). Once again the crescent moon and the bats feature here. I love the start black of the die-cut raven against the blue-grey of the sky. Love the splashes of grey on the background making it look like more bats in the distance. And I love the romantic sentiment here "Seek the silence of the night bu moonlight"-  Just perfect for this scene. I enjoyed...

Hello Readers, I'm hosting a challenge over at Aunty Vera Scrap & Craft which uses this amazing Haunted House die. I had SO much fun with this!! My secret weapon was the black glitter foam which I used to die-cut the house out of. Bats were also cut from the same item. And I LOVE the crescent moon (I am a night sky gazer after all). So here is the first card I made  And because I had so much fun, here is a second one ... alike yet different...
