Visible Image Friday: Live the life you've Imagined

Hello my dear stamping friends!
Today is Friday and this is my Visible Image  new post.
This time I made a very dark and grungy card  using masking technique and 3 gorgeous Visible Image stamps all together.
The  Life the life sentiment was stamped first, then I made a mask of this stamp and stamped the clock from Time after time set (without the upper  part of it). then I made a clock mask and stamped the Brick wall over and all of them were heat embossed to get this bright look.
I misted the piece and made this card with some A2S Scraplets pieces. See how easy you can make your own " collaged stamps". Just try it! It's a lot of fun and the result can be unique.

Happy Day wall deco with a lot of WOW!

Again in my spring mood: Happy Day wall deco made with Tando Creative chipboards and a lot of WOW! Embossing powders.
The frame is totally recycled one: not sure from what garbage can it was picked.

It was white and dirty; so I cleaned it a bit and then heat embossed in 3 layers.
The basic one was Metallic Green and it was too " green".
Then I used CWS Wood grain stencil ' clear embossing ink over it and Nutmeg powder. It was good, but still too " shiny". So I covered it all over with another layer of  clear embossing powder and added Evergreen powder all over. Bingo! I still see the wood grain  texture, but I like the color much more.
The inner piece was made with Tando Creative chipboards.

I stamped some white heat embossed leaves and " flowers" (not sure about the stamp name, just an old and small one I had on the table).
All flowers  were heavy coated with clear embossing ink and  I just played with a lot of WOW! powders.
I used 2 pinks, 2 yellows and white and made quite a mix of them,  covering the stems with Olive green.
The chipboard title was heat embossed with one single layer of Pastel pink.
 All my inner piece was glued over a piece of lovely Scrap Cake paper and my altered project was done.
Hope you like it!

My second project is an altered glass - and it's all Naturals collection from LYB I used here.

It was quite a lot of time since I altered glass containers, but this Naturals LYB collection just screamed " Alter glass candle holder" and so I did.

I used a double sided tape to add all this twine around the glass, then made all embellishments clusters and added some real natural twigs and it's so lovely to celebrate whatever you want too.

Visble Image Friday: Capture the Moment

Hello my dear Visible Image friends! This is Friday and my Visible Image new post for you!

The Dragonfliess  were stamped twice and layered  for this 3d effect. I also added some Large  tall grass stamp, but after all paints and gesso it's hardly seen on the background.

Visible Image Friday: Timeless trio

Hello my dear crafty friends!

This is Friday and Friday is my Visible Image post day!

Today I am going to share my new Mixed Media project and this time I made this wall deco trio over Tando Creative chipboards with the same rainbow technique I already shared here in my blog using those gorgeous Visible Image stamps.

For this piece I used Bronte Border and  Retro Dots backgrounds and Time after time set (clocks and cogs)

Here are some close ups to the parts. All pieces were embellished with lace only and then I glued them over a piece of trim to make it one " solid" deco piece.

My Core’dinations Creative Frenzy

Hello my dear crafty friends! This is my post made for Core' dinations DT call. Should I say that I  am a solid cardstock addict? You know I am. I mostly use   solid cardstock for my crafting and

 Core' dinations  cardstock is one of my most favorite .

So here are 3  projects for this call, 2 are totlaly new, and I hope they like them.

My first project is this 6*6'' mini book cover (I am sure I will do a whole mini album when time comes, but for now it's a cover only. It's made in my very shabby style (one of my styles, as I can craft in much more possible styles after all). The whole chipboard cover was wrapped with Glitz paper, but it's hardly seen  as the major part of it is Core' dinations dry embossed cardstock distressed with my favorite Sand it tool.

The spine is also made with the very same Core' dinations  color and distressed over the folds for this lovely vintage look.

All other techniques are just die cutting and more die cutting and more and more...

Then I added some chipboards covered with a mix of heat embossing and the title Imagine. I think, not sure, that I am going to make this as my Favorite songs mini book (Imagine all these people etc...)

My second project is a pure Core' dinations craft.

It's not a new project, but as I already made a full step by step tutorial for this shadow fall box and it was web published in Scrapbooking . com web magazine, I decided that it shows my writing stills together with my crafty skills and I really love this box .

So here is a web  full step by step article made for this project.

As you can see all die cutting is made from Core'dinations cardstock, I also made a slight dry embossed piece inside and even small and very delicate dies cut Core' cardstock  very easy  with no hard work to release the small pieces out of the die. I also used Sand It tool to make this lace distressed look.

My third project is an altered mini album again, but  it sure can be a card too: same size and a sentiment on the front. Don't know why, but lately I am deeply into those altered projects, also I still think about myself as a scrapper, but all others think  that I am a Mixed Media stamper... Who am I? Not sure, but I love all my art and hope that others like it too.

So this is a self made mini book with pink pages. So I decided to concentrate in color pink, but then it was boring , so  I moved to all pastels and here is my final Core' dinations result.

The background was dry embossed and distressed with my Sand It tool. The panels were die cut and distressed again, then stamped and heat embossed. All flowers and leaves are punched, glazed and arranged over a single corner chipboard.

I know that for this call I was asked to made 3 projects post. But this  lo,  showing Core' Dinations cardstock as a main paper of this page, was in print in UK Scrap 365 MAGAZINE last October issue  and I am so proud of it as it was just my second try for print submission  and  2 of 2 were picked.
So I decided to show it here and if it's too much- sorry.
This is also All about me page, with good journaling and my new red camera too.

That's it. I hope that Core'dinations like my work and cross my fingers for success. I know how difficult it is to make any team living so far from the major industry location. But I still try. Especially when I love the company products a lot and use them all the time. JUST WISH ME LUCK!
