Missing you - Spring tag

Happy April everyone!

A new challenge starts today at Scraps N Pieces.

This is my creation, a Spring tag.

Our challenge:

Be romantic

Get inspired by this photo and create anything you like 

as long as your project is in romantic style.

This isn't really my regular style, so I tried to do my best.

I used some lace at the top and the bottom of the tag, flowers, birds singing and a small nest I created with craft grass, where I placed my message 'Missing You'.

***I painted everything with ColourArte Twinkling H2Os

***Chipboards by 2Crafty Chipboard

***I used Art Stones by Finnabair

...

With this project I'm entering the following challenges:

Studio 75: COLOUR PALETTE
  

Berri71Blue: Spring Fling, DREAM - moodboard

...

I'm looking forward to see your romantic creations for our challenge at Scraps N Pieces.

A lucky winner will receive a beautiful prize from Scraps&Pieces Emporium.

Thank you for visiting

have a lovely crafty day!

Moment - small canvas

Hello dear friends!

This is my new project for 2Crafty Chipboard.

I found this cute photo on pinterest and decided to create a small canvas this time.
Even the project is too small, I managed to use 7 chipboard pieces in there :)

I used different media to alter the chipboard pieces.

The word 'Moment' is painted with black and white gesso.

I also used white gesso to paint the Medallion Flower . 

For the tiny Hearts I used H2O Twinkling Watercolor by ColourArte in red shade, 

because I wanted to achieve a shiny and juicy look. 

I also used a small  paintbrush with white gesso to highlight them.

I altered the Leaves and the Polaroid Frame with green and brown shades of  Primary Elements by ColourArte  in order to give them a natural look. 

I just spread some powder of all colors here and there with a dry paintbrush 

and sprayed some water.

2Crafty Chipboards Used:

Polaroid Assortment Frames, Flower Medallions, ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars, 

Moment Loopy Font, Leafy Silhouettes, Wildflower Set

           

...

To create this canvas I used this beautiful sketch by Kiev Skrapklub

Color your world #2

 Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharsharing the second project for the April color challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang. I decided for this month to create three projects with the same title 'color your world', because of the pallet with all these beautiful and bright colors!
 So this is my #2 (you can see #1 project here).

For this project I used a very colorful photo I found on Web and the April 2015 Color Challenge MEGA Set.

First I applied some light paste with a mask and spread some Sunset Yellow embossing powder directly on it - believe me, it works perfectly that way! After heating it with the heat gun, I repeated the same process with another mask and the Tilt A Wheel Teal embossing powder and heated it again. Then, I made some splashes with all the sprays, I stamped a few stamps and that was all for the background!

I also used one of the sprays, the Magnolia Magneta Gold,  to watercolor the stamped flowers with a paint brush. It is really a pretty easy and fun way to use the sprays and believe me, you will love the result!

One other fun thing I did, was to draw with a permanent pen some funky flowers around the tiny spots of the splashes. I love how they turned!

I also draw some leaves on the top and the bottom of the page, which I panted with the Oakleaf Olive spray...

 Now let me tell you how I created the tittle. I used all the embossing powders of the set on the chipboard letters: while I was holding the chipboard letter with a nipper I poured some powder on the upper half and another color on the lower half. I dried it with the heat gun and at the end I did some doodling with the permanent pen. Really fun process, don't you think?

With this project I'm entering the
 'Color Your World' challenge at Our Creative Corner.

And My-Scrap.Ru sketch challenge:

That was all for today. I hope you got some inspiration from my 'Color your world' #2 project.

Thank you for visiting, have a wonderful crafty time!

Spring is coming

Hello!

Today's project is for my Guest spot at SkrapKopilka.

I won a challenge with this layout on December and now I have the pleasure and honor to be a Guest Designer for their current challenge...

...with this beautiful sketch:

My page is based on the sketch: I used the tittle and all the elements it shows and I had the best time creating it. I think it really has been a long time since I created a layout in vintage style - I love vintage style!!! The decision derived from the photo, and I have to say that the photo is always my motive and inspiration, everything depends on it! 

Here are some details...

some supplies I used:

Lindy's Stamp Gang - C'est la vie Cerice Flat Fabio

Lindy's Stamp Gang - South Shore Sand Flat Fabio

Ranger Ink - Tim Holtz distress ink Vintage Photo
