 Hello and welcome.  I found out today that my altered frame was a winner at Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge.

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.

Pattie's Creations 

THEME: WATER

 

 Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for sponsoring this week's challenge.  Since this is the 5th Monday, we have a theme this week of WATER.  Now go for it!!

 

I started out by printing Pattie's Silly Fisherman on Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly blended some stormy sky distress ink using a blender brush before layering and adding some faux brads.  Setting the layered image aside, I dry embossed a green card using a tree ring embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  After adhering my layered panel, I added a chipboard birthday saying, punched frog, googlie eyes and some ice stickles to highlight the water.  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I've had a hard time health wise lately.

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.

PIP Challenge 2624

 Gerda Steiner 

 Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Gerda Steiner Designs.  I would like to thank Gerda for sponsoring this week's challenge.  My card this week uses Gerda's Pool Piggies stamps and matching dies.  Before I begin, how is it June already and triple digit heat?  I am not a fan of the heat and would like my money back please.  

 

I started out by stamping all the images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring them using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I die cut the images, and a sun, before adhering them to a card with water designer paper I've had for years and not used up.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz wild honey distress ink using a blender brush.  The final touches were sequins, highlighting the saying using a black 3D glaze pen and adding stickles to the designer paper for the "waves".  I'm really happy with how this turned out since I've been having a lot of health issues lately.
