Sweet stamps monthly technique: stamping with markers

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our technical monthly Sweet Stamps challenge.
This month we challenge you to stamp with your markers. Just ink your stamp with any kind of markers you have and stamp! The results are totally lovely and so different from the usual use of inks.
Here is my card stamped with Faber Castell DMD artistic pens.

The frame was cut with 2 cardmaker CLD dies and colored with the same marker over it. I also stamped the sentiment  using the same marker too.
So now it's your turn: enter our monthly challenge and you can win some adorable goodies from Sweet Stamps shop!

Mixed Media Monday with PWP: Altered box

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here again and this time with my most favorite Mixed Media Monday post for Paper Wings Productions. Today I am going to show you my totally recycled box (this was one of the boxes I kept after using my new web connecting device and I loved the box so much that I decided to keep and to alter it. ). I still have one more similar box for the future use and I will alter it shortly too.

 First I covered the box with TIM HOLTZ Kraft resist cardstock. You don't see the kraft color anymore? You wouldn't. After a massive misting with Lindy's Stamp Gang mists you can just see this lovely vintage colors. Then I stamped a bit of background stamping over it (not much seen after all... Sorry.)

The next step was to cut this gorgeous girly image from one of adorable clip sheets and to glue it over the cover. Then I added a bit of gesso using a mask and heat embossed with a glitter over the wet gesso. Another piece of clip paper - the clock- was cut and glued over the small half die cut doily and I stamped the sentiment over the pre made card embellishment. The last, but not the least, the die cut word Love was misted and glued over the cover.

 Metal and crystal handle was added over the front and I just love this shabby, but yet not too messy look. Usually I add more and more embellishments: blings, flowers, stems etc. But I really want to use this box, so the less is more and I decided to stop. Hope you like this small altered project and you love our PWP gorgeous clip art too. So easy to use, so effective and cheap. Go for it! Buy them all! You sure need them for your altered Mixed Media art.

Sweet Stamps challenge #123: Roses

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Welcome to our Sweet Stamps Rose weekly challenge!
This week I decided to make a small and lovely Rose art piece in a big bottle cap.

You can call it a magnet (I added a piece on the back) or to call it " small art piece", anyway it's Sweet Stamps roses that make it all!
I stamped the whole Vertical Roses stamp with red embossing powder and then colored it all with Faber Castell DMC  Red Artistic Pitt Pens.Then I  hand cut them and re-arranged over the background piece of paper and covered with Glossy Accents.
A few   Self- adhesive pearls were added for the interest and I added 2 Tim Holtz stickers to make a statement : "Creating dreams". For me roses do create dreams and are my most favorite flowers ever.
And now it's your turn: take our Roses challenge and you can win some fantastic goodies  too!
See you again in a week with a new challenge inspiration.

Celebrate childhood: GJS Arrow album

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to show you my first project made as Genuinely Jane Studios DT member (I made a couple, but it was for product swap with my other teams as I didn't get my DT goodies till now).
So my  wooden mini album today is an Arrow one and I love this shape a lot: so trendy, so easy to cut and to cover with paper, so  easy to make it " any occasion" album.
I made this  mini album with my dear grandson's studio photos and the banners, colors and a cupcake in his hands were  my main inspiration for colors, patterns and embellishments of this mini.

 I used Bo Bunny papers to cover all wooden pages; inked around and used stencils with white gesso  on every front page.
Here is my cover and I tried to keep it as flat as possible and with no success after all. I used this Art stencil from CWS over this cover, added a chipboard banner from Tando Creative covered with washi tapes and some K&Co due cuts.  My title was covered with glitter embossing powder and I added some more small home die cuts and blings.

The back sides of all pages are mostly photos and some washi tapes around.Now you can see the photo colors and banners and cupcake on the photo.

My second page front was stencilled with Artistcellar Seven Jewels stencil with  gesso and misted with Dylusions Lemon Zest  mist.Then I added those chipboard Tando cupcakes covered with Liquid Applique  brown paint and Art Anthology Sorbet Frost paint.A bit of chunky glitter and one red Dew Drop as a cherry were great finish for those cupcakes . The sticker sentiment is from Fancy Pants and is for " sweet" cupcake or other memories.

The second photo is very similar to the first.

My third front page is for " perfect": my grandson is such a perfect little guy.
Here I used CWS Numbers stencil and Calipso Teal Dylusions mist over a dark paper with one single BB 3d sticker as a title of the page.

Another photo was glued on the back.

The last front page: another Artistcellar stencil Flower of Life with Dylusions   Bubblegum pink mist and a chipboard Happy word covered with blue glitter.

So this was my lovely  Arrow mini album.
And if you want to make a very similar one, just go to GJS shop and pick your favorite shape. So easy, so fancy, so much fun to make one.
And for one more day there is 35% sale in the shop!  You need to see to believe as  those prices are  the best for all kinds of mediums, mists, inks ,GJS most gorgeous wooden mini albums and much much more!
And now for some web challenges I enter this project to:

Pearls - on the cover rings and huge ones- for Papernest dolls
