A Farming Hello

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using an image I've had printed out for some time but hadn't used yet.  For my card, I've used the following Conjurer of Dreams sets: Rugged, Anne of Green Gables, Rustic Wood Backgrounds, Aged Papers, Photo Corners, and Wheat Field.

 

Once I had the combined image printed out, I distressed the edges and layered before adding some brads and walnut stain ink sponged around the edges.  I then adhered the panel to a cocoa card before adding some bling and wood saying/stickers from Dollar Tree©.  As an afterthought, I decided to distress the card base edges and sponge more walnut stain distress ink around the edges.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Christmas Lighthouse Shadow

 

Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you a shadow box I made for this quarters Conjurer of Dreams Summer challenge.  The challenge theme is - seaside shadow boxes.  For mine, I decided to go with a Christmas seaside theme using a wooden box I found at Dollar Tree© a few months ago.

 

I started out by painting the box using a light blue acrylic paint before printing the Stained Glass Lighthouse three times as a 5x7 image.  Once the printing was finished, I laid the box down on one of the printed images and traced around it before cutting out.  I then adhered the trimmed pieces using Mod Podge before adding some Snow Tex along the inside.  After that I added the lightpost, sled, snowman and trees by setting them in the Snow Tex©.  I then added a battery operated votive, light down, on top using hot glue to hold it in place.  The final touches were adding more Snow Tex© on top of the moss and along the sides of my shadow box.  

 

Box with the votive light on:

 

I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Sunshine

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a quick clean and simple card made using the Tractor Florals set from Conjurer of Dreams.   This image reminds me of my late step-grandmother's flower garden she used to have on their grape raisin farm.

 

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I layered it before adding some faux brads then adhered it to a green card.  I then added some Dollar Tree© wood sticker embellishments before highlighting the flower centers using stardust stickles.  Quick, simple and fabulous.

Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog #53

 

 Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge where our theme is always Anything Goes Fantasy (think mermaids, unicorns, fairies, etc).  For my card this month, I'm using images from Conjurer of Dreams.

 

I started out by combining the following COD sets in Photoshop©: Pegasus Maiden, Quirky Fairies, Mystical Forest, Butterfly Clipart then printing the finished image onto Hammermill white card stock, layered and added some faux brads before setting aside.  My card was made using COD's Blue Lace Background adhered to navy card stock before adhering the image panel using black pop dots.  The final touches were blue sequins, stardust stickles highlighting parts of the image and also running my fingernail along the edges to "distress it" a bit.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Crystal Gnomes

 

 

Hello and welcome.  I was recently invited to join the Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog design team which I accepted.  So today I'd like to share with you my first project, a card, I've made using some images from Conjurer of Dreams.  I've had some of these images for a while and just hadn't used them yet.

 

I started out by combining the following COD image sets: Black Silk, Crystal Tree, Prism Background, Quirky Faries, Steampunk Gnome, Summer Gnome, Owl Wizard Clipart, Lantern Glow Clipart,Fantasy Dragonfly,and Garden Gnomes.  I then pulled a purple bow from my digital stash and added that into the bottom left corner.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Welcome Spring

 

 

Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you some ATC's I made for the Conjurer of Dreams April ATC challenge.  The challenge ends on the 29th so there's still time for you to enter.

 

I started out by separating, the free ATC sheet,  then combining the images with the Anne of Green Gables set.  Once I had everything combined, I printed out the ATC's before layering on scrap card stock.  For the embellishments, I die cut a lot of tulip stems and flower stems (now retired) before die cutting a bunch of flower buds.  I then finished assembling my ATC's by adhering the stems, and flowers, using glossy accents.  The final touch was highlighting the flower centers and parts of the background.  I'm really happy with how these turned out especially since I've been dealing with bad migraine and fibromyalgia issues again.
