Strong Trio

Hello!  I would like to share with you my latest project using the Strong Maiden Stamp set.  It may be a little set but it sure does lend itself to some great projects.  

I made a trio of creations today.  A card, notebook and bookmark.  A great little gift idea.  

I just had to use my Distress Oxide for the background for this one.  And the colours really just pop off the white background.  

Keeping the design layout very simple makes the girl stand out a little.  She is strong and fierce without having to be loud.  This set also has a lot of sentiments to choose from so you will never come up short.  

I hope you like this little trio and have yourself a great crafty day!

She's Back!

Another day, another project. 

This one is for Heartcraft Paper.  This image, Queen of Hearts ,would have to be my favourite from the March release.  At first I thought...hmmm then once I started to colour her up I was coming up with ideas left, right and centre.  

If you have been following my blog you will have noticed I have been dabbling with creating my own backgrounds.  This one is just on a smaller scale.  

She is one tough looking chick!  I kept the background very simple.  The heart is actually glitter cardstock but it is hard to tell in the photo.  

Good thing about this card is that anyone could do it.  Not hard to draw a couple of lines and some curtains.  I hope you like it as much as I do! 

Till next time, happy crafting!

Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum

Hi everyone.  I hope you are all have a fantastic day!  

Today I would like to share with you a project featuring the Strong Maiden set.  With this project I had it center around the Latin sentiment in the set.  It is something we can all take a little from in many aspects in our lives.  I won't share here what it translates to, But can google it and it will tell you.  :-)

Anyway here is my project. 

We can all identify as just one of the crowd at times.  This one I decided to mask off their faces to let them be nameless.  A little "arty" I know but I liked the effect.

And we come in all different shades, hence the Maidens are all different races.  It does take a bit of time to do the masking but it is so worth it.  

A simple card layout to allow the "on mass" to give the full effect.  

I hope you like this card, and have yourself a great crafty day! 

Unicorn Magic

Welcome to another day of craftiness!  Today I am sharing a project I made for 

Craftin Desert Divas

Believe in Magic is the image used here.  It is actually one of two unicorns in this set.  

To make the yellow background and make it look like there is light behind the unicorn, I turned my 1 inch round sponging tool on an angle and just pulled the colour from the edge, in, towards the centre.  

I printed off a large image, very unusual for me as I normally do smaller ones.  I coloured it in rainbow colours and some light greys.  On mane, tail and horn I added wink of stella for the bling effect. 

I fussy cut the unicorn out which means I removed all the stars around it.  So I randomly placed some star sequins around the image to replace the ones missing.  

Check out Craftin Desert Divas Facebook challenge.  You could win yourself a prize. 

This months theme is Unicorn, Fairy rainbow colours.  As you can see, I went nuts on the colour!   lol

Alice

I am back with the blog hop for Heartcraft Paper.  

Today, again, I am using the Alice image. 

For todays card I finally got my hands on some Stampin' Up Designer Paper that was only available during their Sale A Bration time.  It fits perfectly with this theme.  

And I done a little freehand for her surroundings.  I do need to practice that but one day I hope to make it look good.   

Here is the link for the blog hop.  Hope you enjoy!

Just for Fun!

I am sharing my card today that is just for fun over at 

Artistic Inspirations Challenge Blog

I see in other countries it was Mothers day over the weekend.  Here in Australia it is not until May.  So it appears I have gotten in early!  I love this little bunch of flowers from the Stampin Up Mini catalogue. 

So much so that I have made this card 4 times in different colours for my stall.  Very simple, elegant look.  I love white cards with a pop of colour, and this one is no exception.  

I hope you find inspiration from the rest of the team and hope you can join us and maybe win yourself something in return.  

Happy crafting.
