Dear Friends, how are you all ? I just want to apologize for not commenting lately, nor blogging. My hands and shoulder are acting up again with carpal tunnel and tendinitis, so weak I can barely hold a paintbrush, so I will have to rest for a while....much love to you all... G.

Take the time to feed the birds...

Hey, how are you ? I am doing ok, having fun playing with all the new products I received for my B-Day....

Over at Out of a Hat Creations the subject is Time. Do you take the time  to enjoy the little things ?

.Prendre le temps ( taking the time) and the scrolls are stamps from Toga

 where as the lady and the bird is a stamp of times gone past  from Crafty Individuals painted in with distressed inks, and a bit of copper glitter added to her skirt; along with some pink pearls

Over at the Fashionable Stamping Challenge, we are to play with ink and get messy !!! My background is made swiping my CS on some distressed inks, and glitter mist; once adhered to my canvas, some copper metallic embossing and gold paint were added...

 ....Embossed a few roses...Added some copper pearls to a filigree which I bent on both sides...All my stamping was done with copper embossing..


thanks for peeking and have a great week-end !!! love G.

Moments Magiques...

Hi, have you ever played with grunge board ? I just got some for my B'day and this stuff is so cool....These are the Tim Holtz wings which I inked, applied alcohol inks, then crackle paint; once dried I emphasized the cracks with Picket Fence Stickles and and some liquid pearls...

And after all this treatment, it  stays pliable....Wow ! and you end up with amazing masks !

The background is a canvas which I inked, embossed and sprayed with glimmer mists....gessoed (is that a verb ???lol) some fabric to stamp on : Magical Moments...this is a gift for my hubby....

Then I applied it to this wonderful fabric...

I embossed the chain with the same blue as my stamping, and used some glass beads to anchor it down....

I had such a great time making this, and got VERY dirty and inky; I am linking this to 

 The Fashionable Stamping challenge, lets get messy and ink....


Thanks for peeking, love G.

My First Twinchie !!!

this was so much fun...I made it for the Out of A Hat Creations challenge...Have you ever made one ? I had not, so I found it quite challenging, but really fun at the same time.

...I started off glimmer misting, then I stamped my chandelier, applied multiple layers of 3 different coloured embossing powders, stamped a chair into it....dropped in a bit of gold perfect pearls, inked the edges; applied glossy accents to stick my beads in, then made chandelier loops with some chain and beads......
it was  hard to photograph with all the glare but it looks really cool IRL....

Thanks for peeking...have a lovely day...

Elegance and Lace over at the Shabby Tea Room...

Hi there, how is everyone today ? Well, I wasn't feeling very inspired this week, until I saw this photo  over at The Shabby Tea Room ; how romantic is this ? we have to use  cream or white, pink, craft and lace......This is my card, and below is the inspirational photo ..

I hand cut the contour, used some Scrap Cake Papers for the base, distressing and inking my edges with Ranger Tattered Rose (  a must  if you like Vintage). I glimmer misted my main flower, added it to a filigree base, cut out some lace to use as leaves and applied on a vintage doily ( comes form my mom when she first got married !). Inked my seam binding with same color and added some pearls...

I used this image from Gecko Galz because of the chandelier and the colors; I added some glossy accents to the roses. For the sentiment I embossed My friend  on Kraft paper and glistened it up with   liquid pearls (Bisque); a few pearls and mini roses for added romance..

I really enjoyed this challenge...thanks for peeking !

Oriental Pouch!!

Hello there, how is everyone today ? Just a quick post to show you the pouch I made ouf of muslim for my oriental card; I used the same set of stickers but this time with glimmer mists. Added a black cord at the top, and unraveled a bit of it to hang...and a few fabric knobs...

This is the card...

Have a fabulous day !!!

Sunny Sunday !!!

Hi, the challenge over at Scrap Jacked is to be inspired by one of the designer's project.

This is the card I made, inspired by Deb's LO.

I was immediately attracted to the yellow ...as well as the light, summer feel of it,  the movement  in her fish and water (waves), as well as her play with rope , and of course her doilies !

 Her theme is Fun with the Fishes;

mine is Wonder of the Butterflies...lol

I altered my background paper with acrylics, inks, crackle paint and  Bisque Liquid Pearls  ; a fabric doily was used as a mask. The main paper is from 7Dots , gorgeous and thick !!!

For the sentiment message I painted a hanging tag with acrylics and the same liquid pearls, applied crinkled saran wrap on top,  let dry, then inked (I call this the poor crafter's version of crackle paint !) ...

On the left side lots of papers were distressed, torn and inked; my version of
Deb's waves I guess..lol

This was really fun; I haven't done a lift in ages...Thanks Deb for the summertime inspiration..love G.
