ATC deco art - wait for a full tutorial

This is an art piece I made with a full tutorial (will be posted in a couple of days).
For now I just want to use this art piece for some blog challenges- so I post it without the tutorial.

This is a piece made with 4 smae, but different ATC cards  that then were arrnged over the Studio 75 cardstock (glued to wooden panel); then I added the central embellishments spot and made it as an encouragement decoration.
As I already said- wait a couple of days for a full tutorial to be posted here in my blog.

 I enter it to some web challenges:
Studio 75- Home decoration

Lindy's stamp gang- I used most of the challenge colors on this piece to mist the ATC cards

 Products used:
Bachelor Button Blue
Bells of Ireland Green
Yellow rose of Texas
Peony Scralet red
As most of the colors are primary or close to that I got more colors on my pieces when misting wet on wet mists.

Steampunk tag - BoBunny Media post

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second July Media post made for BoBunny.

Most of you think that BoBunny is a company with most adorable. but quite cute products.

To show you your mistake I make dark, industrial and even Steampunk projects with BoBunny and Pentart products and this tag is a good example of all possibilities you get when  you have BoBunny cardstock, dies, stamps and mediums.

So this is my Love today Stempunk tag made with Double Dot BoBunny cardstocks, new dies,  stencil, copper transfers, leftover chipboards frame and a few Pentart mediums and paints.

My favorite medium on this piece is the Iron paste that I used over simple cardstock die cuts. Don't you think it looks like a real rusty iron? It is!

Prickley Pear Summer

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last July project made for Prickley Pear Rubber stamps company.
This is a Summer themed day on the PPRS blog and here is my take for this day:True friend card
I used direst white heat embossed stamping over Kraft cardstock and then water coloring over the stamped images.
The background color was made with distress inks.
The upper flowers were stamped on white cardstock with black powder heat embossing, hand cut and water colored.
The only embellishment I added are some pearls.

 Stamps used:
Bold Daisies
Flowers 2 - Sentiment

Fly away tag

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post!
This is a tag made with Scrapmatts stencils and chipboards and Papericious paper collection.
It's a kind of encouragement tag and I made the double sentiment saying : Go and find yourself and then fly away".

Both sentiment parts are arranged over the Scrapmatts chipboard pieces made with cardstock and stickers.
Chipboards were painted with Prima Spark and Metallic paints.
I used two stencils for the textured background, but only the lower one is still seen.

 I enter this to some web challenges:
Simon Says Monday challenge- On the edges
City crafter- Something that begins with S- Stencils, sayings, summer
Altered embellishments for Mixed Media Monthly- all chipboards , die cuts and even flowers are altered with paints and mediums

Captured Blessed Moments layout

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I want to share a layout made with Scrapmatts chipboards and Kaisercrafts paper collections.

 I scrapped my adorable grand kids again (as always) and made it with Kaisercraft July challenge inspiration.
The 12*12'' cardstock is from Provincial collection; the die cuts are from Treasured Moments and from Generations.
 The only add- ons are Scrapmatts chipboards and s bit of black paint over the chipboards and around the page.

 Here are some close- ups to the different  spots of this page:

I also added some stencilled texture over the " white spaces" of this page- hardly seen as it's pearled white paste on almost white cardstock.

I enter this piece to Kaisercraft blog challenge for July
