"L'envol créatif"

hello there, hope your Sunday is going well...One of my resolutions was to step out of my comfort zone of cardmaking, and make a mixed media wall hanging....I received this gorgeous feather as a x-mas present, and wanted to give it a canvas to express itself on...I painted my canvas all black, then used a Prima mask to apply my red paint...I inked and border punched (MS double loop all around the page )a paper (gifted)I found very pleasing for its unusual color and great texture. I cut out some wings from the Bo Bunny, Gypsy paper, inked the edges. Added a lace ( gifted to me by my lovely brother Paul)to the bottom of this, as well as the complete left side of the canvas. I used various beads and buttons ( the big orange ones came from a bracelet I no longer wore, the others were gifted to me) to make a hanging charm.
I took a K. and Co. border paper and heat embossed it with the Tim Holtz distressed powder, which I love because it makes the embellishment look vintagy and gives a grungy texture. I really love the outcome of it and gave it to my hubby as an early Valentines gift.(I could'nt keep it from him any longer than a few hours...I am very childish that way LOL).....He loved it...Yeah....

"Mended heart" card

Hi ladies, this card came together by itself...funny how we have on days and off days...this is one of those cards that look so much better in person...I love the outcome of it, it feels to me vintagy and romantic. Nothing much to say about the making of it; lots of layers,and cutting out shapes, some border punches,edge inking, Bo Bunny "Gypsy paper",K and Co. "Jubilee" paper, a few pearls, and some beautiful K and Co. soft roses...Simple and elegant....I tend to overdo it on my cards, so I am working with the " less is more " motto. LOL..Thanks for watching..Hugs...

"Loops of love" Card

Hello again, I am on a roll making valentine cards, but not the traditonal style.
This one I had such a hard time making...just one of those days I guess...When I showed it to my hubby, who has an excellent eye for art, there was more on the card, and he said no too much, and you are breaking up your line...I took it off, and he was right.The paper is the wonderful, thick Prima, Fairy Flora, Sunny Day.
The edge is punched out using the MS double loop, punch around the page , love love this new tool of mine....The lace is from the dollarama...I cut the heart and dried embossed it with tim Holtz gold embossing powder, button was gifted to me, the element is from K and Co. I used TA glimmer mist and Tim Holtz ink on my "I am roses" flower. The inside is a Prima , fairy flora chipboard. I really love the shape of the card. I found it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AidVadGkKjo. Hugs...

"Midnight Prom" card

Hello, I had so much fun making this dress card. I used Bo Bunny paper, scallopped the edges, used one of the journalling tags , cut it in thirds, and put it on backwards; the brads are Recollections. I made the dressform by hand, layered one by one some pink ribbon ( gifted to me), added a different ribbon for the belt, put a beautiful silver button ( gifted), wrapped some gorgeous black organza(gifted) and made a tie at the shoulder, added a flower from the skirt. Used some shimmering gold embossing for the body, and a prima say it in pearls for her necklace ( cut out a tiny section). For the inside, I used the remaining tag, punch out the corners using my new MS double loop all around the page punch and cut off the remaining pink card part. I am really happy with the results; I wanted it to be classy , but cool.

I made the dress, loved it. added my papers, put the dress on, looked at it and it was ok, but not WOW...then i decided to put 3 holes, add the same organza I used for the top, and some brads, and then the magic happenned....my hard work paid off and I loved it !!! makes my day...Bye ...

"Underwater creatures" Box

Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!! The woman who bought my previous box asked me to make one the same size to put in her bedroom, which has turquoise and shells as decor.I used another wooden box from the Dollarama, someJubilee K and Co. paper (I told you I loved it :-)), it is so rich in design..I also used some textured paper I received at x-mas for the pillars and the inside...some seashells...added a BoBunny button I won on a posting, and added beads (another x-mas gift)to it, a plume my hubby gave to me for my b-day, some "I am Roses" skeleton leaves...added a flower on the side that made me think of a seahorse, and some bling on the other side;its a lot of work cutting up all that paper evenly and gluing it down...oh well,,,as long as she loves it, its worth it....It took me a long time to get that plume to sit exactly where I wanted it...I really enjoyed making the bead strands...I wanted to be a jeweler when I was much younger...I will definitely work with beads a lot more this year...
Bye, Bye
