Sunshine sun flowers

New page made with A2Z Scraplets new February release and WOW Embossing powders .
I also used some Tando stencils for the background misting and made those dots with  their stencil, clear embossing ink and Wow Embossing green powder. This is a very simple page, but with lots of techniques: misting, painting, heat embossing, die cutting (fence from CLD), hand writing, inking, misted white flower and I even altered this chipboard K&Co title with gold embossing powder to fit the page.

And some challenges

Masking for Challenge me happy

Our Adventure

Last October we had this terrific Greece cruise and I never scrapped a single photo of this trip. So it's time now for the first one.

I used Lily Bee products and March sketch, A2Z part of the chipboard title, The Rubber Cafe stamps (Vintage Treasures clock, camera  and script, Column stamps), a lot of Elle's Studio tags- with added stamping, EC epoxies and stamped and cut images and one single EK border punch.

 

This is as close to clean and simple as I can scrap.
And this was made for some web challenges:

My vintage treasure bag

Hello, my dear  stamping friends! Irit is here again and this time with my vintage altered Kraft bag.
Those Tim Holtz  brown bags are so inviting to alter them in this perfect vintage style and TRC Vintage treasures  stamps set was just so perfect  for this bag.

First I stamped the bag with 2 big background  print stamps from the set, using Brown Mixed Media  Truffle ink and then I inked it around with  Tim Holtz distress green ink.
The tags are  from Basic Grey and they  were bright and shiny and had nothing to do with  mute vintage style. But wait! After I stamped those other vintage stamps from the same set with the same brown and green inks and heat embossed them with Clear embossing powder, it just changed the whole picture. Now those tags are vintage and fit this project just perfect.
I made a cluster of all 3 stamped tags, added some vintage seam binding ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons shop (we have a blog hop with them next month, but I ordered much more ribbons to use before and after). A bit of RRR lace was pleated under the biggest stamped tag.

I made a stamped title with the last stamp from this set over another tag and then some more shabby embellishments were added all around (the gold buttons is a real vintage, all other items are from scrap supplies. The last one was this bottle cap with epoxy cover (Bottle Caps Co.)

Then I decided to stop... Even if less is not more with me, this was too much already .
And them I added some Cream  Pearl Pen touches  over the stamped butterfly. I can't stop, sorry.
One last word: I used TRC most perfect Scrap Happy Glue  for this project and the One-&- only tape  to pleat my piece of lace and it glues metal and button and just close to everything. 
And the bag is totally  made for use: great for some small jewelry piece present inside.

Hope I inspired you a bit this time .
See you next week with my new project. I think I am going to scrap nest  time, but not sure yet. Too many  fabulous stamps to pick from and very hard to decide.
Have a great day!

Friends

Hello , my dear Robin's Nest friends! It's Irit here again and this time with my new and fancy lo made with lots of Robin's Nest products and with some Purple Cows punches and Stamp it Roller. You will get all information about those gorgeous tools a bit later.
 I made this page inspired by Courtney Walsh "A Sweethaven Summer"  - mostly doing a page about best friends, also not mine, but my DD. Some of DT pages inspired me too.

So this page is made with black and white photo of one of my twin girls and her very best friend, who studies Dentistry in Romania, so they meet maybe 3 times a year for the last 2 years and it's 4 years more being so far away.
I used this Red Swirl cardstock as my base and then trimmed the Time Glitter Writing cardstock a bit to make some borders. The inner cardstock was distressed with brown ink and I made Dotty borders with white ink and a Purple Cows Stamp it Roller. As I said, I used one ball of 4 (they also have stars, hearts and snowflake shapes in this Love set)
Now for the Purple Cows action: it took me about 2 hours to understand the point of making a filigree using this Spring punch, but then it was a great fun. I used Glitter Seashore cardstock (the teal part), made two 4*4'' pieces and made those squares you can see on this page. Then I added 2 smaller ones, another design, made with the same cardstock back side. The focal matting was made with another piece of Glitter Writing(thanks god I had 2 or 3 of them), then another piece was punched with mmmmmm punch, just a bit as nobody can really see the design. Another piece was punched as a corner with Spring punch on the upper left side of this page.

Now for the final part: my title was inked and heat embossed with red embossing powder and I made a banner from Red glitter chipboard and another punched piece (again, different design of punching). I also hand cut a swirl piece from the same paper and made this 3d look on the lower corner.
The very same Red glitter chipboard was trimmed as another layer of matting and I added the photo over all 3 layers.
Then I used those Viva rub- ons and added a red rub- on from Palm tree rub- on too, over the white dress on the photo.
The chipboard candles die cut was stacked behind the matting and I embellished all possible pieces with Parisian mini dew drops and Beaches Dew Drops too. Then I decided to add a hand cut clock from Black and White Clock paper and a piece left from Glitter Writing (back side) to connect all 3 squares.
I think this is a lovely girly page in some vintage mood and I want to thank Purple Cows for those great products we got to design with.
