CUTE AS A LADY BUG~FOR YA!

Hello Friends!!!

Today I want to share my DT project for Scrapbook Stamp Society. I used the Cute as a Lady Bug digi image by Heather Valentin which can be found HERE.

I think this image is super cute and versatile for all sorts of cards (Birthday, Valentines day, Spring/Summer celebration, etc). She is soooo stinkin' cute!!

I decided to create a wall hanging as I was still thinking of the Hearts & Flowers theme. Here are the pics~



I covered a piece of medium weight chipboard with the Valentine Theme designer paper from K&CO. I added a red foam heart, vintage rose lace, hot pink lace trim, a dark pink organza ribbon, my handmade beaded stick pins, misc. paper flowers (Recollections and Wild Orchid Crafts), stickles, a pink puffy applique heart, and flatback pearls.

I colored the image using copic markers and added some sparkle with stickles as well as glossy accents. I wanted to add lots of fun colors when I created her. Of course I had to add some lovely pink in there. LOL!!!

Here are two close up pics of her:

WILA B. MINE LIL GOTHIE~

Hello Friends!!!

Today I want to share a project I created for another fantastic blog challenge over at Scrapbook Stamp Society Challenge Blog. The theme is "Hearts & Flowers." They are both things I love to work with.

I used Wila B. Mine Lil Gothie Digi image by Heather Valentin. You can find the image HERE. She is super duper cute!!!! When I first saw this image I just knew I had to have her.

Here is a treat box I created:



I used copic markers to color the image. I also decided to try adding some accents to the image with the Sakura gelly roll pens, glossy accents, and of course lots of stickles. I used designer cardstock paper from Recollections which I purchased at Michaels. I am so in love with the way this project turned out as I'm always experimenting with different mediums.

I embellished the treat box with lots of flowers (Recollection, Prima, WOC, and Iamroses). I also added some of the foam hearts which I had in my stash. I believe I bought them at Michaels.

Here are close up pics of Wila B. Mine Lil Gothie~

LUNCH BAG UPCYCLE FOR YPP~

Hello Friends!!!

Here is a lunch bag upcycle swap I created for Your Paper Pantry. The theme for January is Romance. I used a standard size brown paper bag.

I first decoupaged these pretty rose cupcake liner papers on the entire front of the bag. Added some barn red distressing ink to the bag with a make up sponge. The image I created with photoshop by adding layers to create this collage effect. The bag is embellished with a beautiful vintage white rose lace and a dark pink sequin trim. I added a mini pink rose to the corner of the trim. I stamped the word "Sweet," with a stamp I purchased at Michaels.




The back of the bag I made a pocket with the same vintage white rose lace and added this delicate white lace trim. Inside the pocket is a mat that can be used to add a photo or a journal entry.



Here is a close up of the image I created:

Have a great day!!!
