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.

A Wanted Halloween

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards I made for Halloween using images from Conjurer of Dreams.  I've had these cards finished for a few days, just not photographed or blogged due to my health.  

 

First up, is a cute little friendly robot card.  I started out by combining the following COD images using Photoshop©:  Cute Halloween Robots, You're Driving Me Batty, Halloween Quotes, Photo Corners, Black Silk, Aged Papers and a COD Inspiration Group freebie background from last year.  Once everything was combined and printed onto Neenah card stock, I added some faux brads before layering it on some black scrap card stock I had on my desk from a previous project.  After adhering to my card base, I added a black ribbon, some spider sequins and some bling to finish it off.

Everybody Art Challenge #587 - Orange/Black and/or Halloween (Halloween) 

Shopping Our Stash #559 - Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice (friendly pumpkin robot)

 

My second card uses one of the Halloween Mug Shots combined with the Halloween Photo Corners and the Wanted Poster.  After printing the witch image, I colored her using Ohuhu markers and a white gel pen before layering and adding brads.  The final touches were sequin spiders and some black bling.  I'm really happy with how both of these turned out.

Autumn's Beauty

 

Hello and welcome.  Third post today, so I'd like to share with you a card made using images from Conjurer of Dreams.   All of the images were combined using Photoshop© so I could just print and add to an orange card.  With the way I've been hurting the last few days, the simpler is better right now.  I used the following COD sets:  Steampunk Gnome, Fall Silk, Wood Bark Background, Photo Corners, Fall Gnomes (from a special set I won), Fall Background, and Creepy Scarecrow were freebies in the Conjurer of Dreams Inspiration Group.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Kitty By The Window

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I finally assembled using some of the new Fall and Halloween image sets from Conjurer of Dreams.  Since I'm a "crazy cat lady", I just had to use the  Cat at the Window as my main image.  I combined that with the following in Photoshop© before printing out to assemble: Fall Silk, Photo Corners and Gothic Floral Background for my base.  After adding some purple brads from my stash, I adhered the cat image panel to some scrap orchid card stock then popped it up over the gothic floral card base using pop up glue dots.  The only embellishments added was a mauve organdy ribbon and some black gems.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

My Concern

 

Hello and welcome.  I have another fall inspired card to share with you today using some of the new fall images from Conjurer of Dreams.  

 

I started out by layering Autumn Vibes with the Black Silk, Photo Corners and Fall Silk backgrounds before adding my saying then printing onto Neenah white card stock.  I also printed a second Autumn Vibes background to use as part of my card front.  After adding some bling in various places, my card was finished.  Really simple and easy to do.

Harvest Wishes

 

Hello and welcome.   Today I'd like to share an ATC with you made using several Conjurer of Dreams digital sets.  

 

I started out by combining the following image sets in Photoshop© (Fall Quotes, Bountiful Cart, Anne of Green Gables, Cute Dogs Clip Art, Fall Silk, Aged Paper and Photo Corners) before printing my combined image on Neenah white card stock.  I then pulled out a couple of scrap card stock and layered the image panel to those before adding some copper brads and bling to finish it off.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out especially with the way I've been feeling lately.  Ugh!

Using Up Some Scraps

 

 

Hello and welcome.   If you're looking for my Pammie's Inky Pinkies post, please scroll down one.

 

I had some scraps from another project still laying on my desk so I thought I'd finally get them out of the way and create something with them.  The Steampunk Cowgirl, Old West Ghost Town, Old West Dancing Ghost Couples are all from Conjurer of Dreams.  After I layered everything, I made sure to use my paper distresser along the edges to "roughen up" the layers.  Added a small scrap of copper cord, brads and an old copper clip I've had for years.  The final touch was a bit of yellow stickles to highlight the few light lamps.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

I Said So That's Why

Hello and welcome.  Raise your hand if your mother ever said this to you......🙋🙋 Now raise your hand if you've ever said this to your own children (fur children included). 🙋🙋 So when I saw this My Mother Taught Me set from Conjurer of Dreams, I had to get it.

 

I did all of the layering digitally, so when I printed it out (minus watermark), it would make technically a one-layer card; especially with the price of postage now.  I started out by combining the My Mother Taught Me mom with the Bokeh and Floral Teacups background before layering onto the Purple and Pink Silk backgrounds.  I finished it off by adding the gold Photo Corners, plus elements from the Cool Cats and Cute Dogs sets.  I'm sending this card to a friend for Mother's Day.

General Eagle Eye and the Battle Hymn of the Republic

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card using a few images from Conjurer of Dreams.  

I started out by scanning sheet music from "Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory" before layering that onto a Blue Silk background and adding Photo Corners.  I then added two leather pouches from the Steampunk Junk Journal and tucked them into the photo corners before adding General Eagle Eye and a glaze pen to finish it off.  I'm happy with how it turned out and is perfect for sending to a veteran or for a Fourth of July card.

A Grumpy Valentine

 

Hello and welcome.  I'm a little late posting this (thank you migraine) but I'd like to share with you the card I made for my husband for Valentine's Day.   I used images from Conjurer of Dreams Grumpy Seniors Valentine Card Kit and the Red Silk background.

 

Once I combined all of the images, I printed the finished panel out on Neenah white card stock before layering and adding pewter heart brads from my stash.  After adhering it to the card, I added a small floral spray in the top left corner before highlighting parts of the images using a clear 3D glaze pen.

A Couple Of Last Minute Projects

 

Hello and welcome.  Can you believe it's only a few more days until Christmas and the week after that is New Year's Day?  I will be glad to see 2024 go away.  It has not been a good year for me - health wise or personally.  However, I digress.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I've made over the last couple of weeks using Conjurer of Dreams images.

 

First up is a quick card made using an image from Stained Glass Gothic Christmas Windows (which was also the image for the last tag challenge in the Facebook group.  I just took the tag I had made and adhered it to a dry embossed card base.  After adding some more ribbon, and sequins, my card was finished.  It's not my best but I was dealing with a nasty migraine at the time.

Aloha Friday #17 - Christmas or Winter (Christmas) 

As You Like It - Anything Christmassy 

My second card uses one of the images from the Victorian Ladies Greyscale Coloring Book.  I started by printing my chosen image at 3.5 x 5 to make it easier on my eyes while coloring.  Then, taking both Lyra Skintone and Castle Arts Harmonious colored pencils, I colored the image before using a blender pencil and eraser to soften some of the edges/highlights.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered her and added purple brads before adhering her to a dry embossed lavender card base.  The final touches, were adding some highlights using Castle Arts Gel Pens along with some purple/lavender bling.
