Sweet Stamps challenge: Kraft

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Sweet Stamp new weekly challenge: Kraft.
I love Kraft products. Period. I just feel connected to this Earthy color and it's so easy to make the color schemes with this neutral color. So here is my artistic card for this challenge.
The background is dry embossed with Sizzix folder and then covered with a fine mix of Pearl Ex pigments. The focal post card was stamped and heat embossed with white powder and then misted a bit over.
The lovely part was to use my new Globcraft and Picollo lock and key, heat embossed with their delicious embossing enamel. The die cut Eiffel tower was enamelled too over the cardstock (it works perfectly over the cardstock too)
Some final touches with roses, metal clock, resin flower and a chain, washi tape pieces and  this card was done.

Now it's your turn to play with our challenge and even to win some goodies, but you need to enter to be in a draw. So do it!

Destination: less travelled road with Die- Versions

Hello my dear crafty friends!  This is my very first project made for and with Die- Versions gorgeous dies.
As we are still waiting for the new release to come, we try to showcase our oldies, but goodies dies and my favorite are Travel ones.
This 2014 new year came  with my new WORD OF THE YEAR  and I picked the word TRY/DARE. Like don't be afraid of a failure; try harder;dare to try. You never can know what the future has for you unless you try. So once a month I will do a project with some connection to my word and this quote was the first one to use: Take the less travelled road (try to, you never know what is on this road's  end); this is your destination when you dare and it will take you to the place where your can touch the sky... Sort of.

So I made this altered printers small tray , covered with Chic Tags mix of tags on the background and then I cut a few of DV lovely dies: the globe on the corner, the circle title, a couple of suitcases and finally the whole title with small DV font. I decided to glue the letters with Glossy Accents and then added some glossy medium over the circled  title too.

The suitcases glitter bands were made with double siided glue tape for some interest and the globe was to big big for the tray, so it was trimmed on the corner.
I really like my first DV project/ first 2014 Word of the Year project.
Hope you like it too.
And it was also made for all possible NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS challenges as it's with my resolution word.
So here are the challenges

PWP Spotlight Sunday: Key to your Kingdom

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Spotlight Sunday PWP post.

This is my altered chipboard deco made with Tando chipboards and a lot of PWP stamps and even more mediums.

I call it " Key to a Kingdom" and it's a masculine piece that can be given to a man in our life.

I used 3d textured  paints (over the frame); a lot of embossing powders over the chipboards.
I stamped into the molding paste on the background and then misted the wet paste with  a mix of mists.
The very same stamps were stamped with black permanent ink over already embossed outer surfaces. The inner circle was heat embossed with black powder and then misted over.
The King and a Crown stamps were stamped and heat embossed with Gold powder and then hand cut and glued over the art piece.
There is a lot of paint and embossed texture on this project  and after all it was just a " play with your supplies" work: I used a mix of mediums we all keep and my heat gun just worked extra hours.

Hope you like this piece and see you again later this month with another PWP project.

White winter

Welcome to my Winter  White project.
I made a layered arch frame using all possible white mediums and one totally gorgeous PWP Build a Scene stamp set.
The background layer was stamped over a cardstock and heat embossed with white powder. The clouds were embossed with puffy white embossing powder and then some touches of Pearl pen were added.

The outer frame was painted with Ranger  Picket Fence crackled paint and then a few touches of pearl pen  were added as well as some silver micro beads (just for a bit of interest as it was too much of white)

The second layer was stamped and hand cut and then adhered inside the arch. The trees were embellished with Liquid Applique  and some 3D white paint was added in between the layers   and became my snow.

I also added a few clear and pearl Dew Drops  over the piece.

Be you deco

This is a new Mixed Media piece I made for WOW! Embossing powders Fabric monthly challenge.
My fabric is canvas I worked over and I tried to use some different mediums and to add embossing powders over those mediums to see the results.All mists are from LSG.
All chipboards and masks are from Tando Creative and I used black gesso, glossy accents and white molding paste to add a lot of embossing and to check the results.
Well, it works great over the black gesso: we  still see the black color, but then it gave us a textured look and made the gesso mask very visible.
The " blood drops" over glossy accents are less visible, but still gave a good  textured result.
Adding powders over wet molding paste gave the most visible texture (the outer frame splashes were made this way).
Then both the chipboard frame, words and all arrows were covered with WOW! powders and I really  like this not so perfect coverage. I even added some inking over the edges to make it even more imperfect.

Now it's your turn!
Play with our monthly challenge- Fabric- and you can win some great goodies. All you need to do is to use heat embossing or one WOW!  other product to enter.
See you next month with more inspiration.

Capture moments with not so perfect photos

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to FWAB new monthly challenge. This is an easy COLOR challenge around and you can win a lot of gorgeous blings, very similar to those I used here.
My new pastel lo made with a not so perfect photo of my 2 dearest grand kids. I used the new, just released paper collection from FabScraps with Mixed Media background made with TCW stencils and LSG mists. Most of the products are FS: papers, chipboards, stickers etc, but flowers and blings from FWAB and an old MM metal frame.
