"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

"Gift for my lovely Elisa" Box

Hi ladies, this is my latest creation. I altered this box as a x-mas gift for my BF.
I had so much fun making this and it made me realize how much I have learnt in the past 8 months and how much confidence I have gained.I made the pocket on the top with the K and co. Jubilee paper; I stuffed it with paper while it was drying, so after taking the paper out, it kept its form. The other papers used a C.I. and BoBunny. The flowers are Maya Road Velvet puffed blossoms.I used my EK edge puncher to create the scallopped sides, and drew the edge from a Prima journalling sticker.
I bought the lace at the dollorama and altered the color using TA Strawberry shortcake glimmer mist and Butterscotch Adirondack color wash. I glued down a beautiful piece of material that I know she will love.
I inked all of the edges of my papers, as well as the sides of the box with my Ranger distressed ink, vintage photo. I altered the K. and Co. butterfly a bit, so we would not see so much white, and folded the wings up. I put a small pocket on the inside for her to hide something precious, glued down some material I had, and some of the same paper I used for the sides of the box to create coherence. I added a bit of my favorite Prima lace. My favorite part are the painted sides; I mixed 3 acrylic colors to achieve this pink color and applied a few coats; once dried, I applied a fourth coat with bubble wrap. Afterwards, I applied a thick coat of a shiny gold, pressed down a Prima mask and rubbed it in, forcing some of the gold off....I just love the look.
