Eureka Stamps Challenge #196 Things With Wings

Happy Monday!

Eureka Stamps´ Challenge theme this week is: 

Things With Wings

For this challenge, I used an sketch from Share the Joy Challenge:

and the images: 25801(265) Cowgirl Angel and for the inside  26102 Angels Hover images from Eureka Stamps:

 I used Dakota paper from CTMH and its complements. The sticker with the sentiment on the front is also from this collection. I colored the Angel/cowgirl with TH distress markers.

 For the inside, I colored the Eureka Stamps' sentiment with TH distress markers. And added some leftover strips to the card edges to tie the design together.

I hope you enjoy my card, which I made for a friend, who is moving to another state. Next time, I will the other card I made using this sktech.

Many blessing and good luck in this challenge.

Bookmarks for Teachers Appreciation Week

Good morning dear scrappers,

I wanted to share with you these bookmarks, I made for teachers' appreciation week.

I started making some pillow gift boxes using TH die. Note: don't try to cut more than one piece of paper with this die because the embossed part of the box will be cut instead. I did it and ended up having to adhere the box lids with washi tape, very annoying.

Then I cut some tags using Paper Artist dies (from a Paper Wishes monthly die-club) from several school related B&T papers from CTMH (all retired collections, using my stash...). I like this tags because they are big enough to serve as bookmarks.

Then, I stamped the back with a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and some of my children's names stamps I have.

For the front, I stamped the sentiment and and cut them using a Martha Stewart punch. Using another punch I cut some red cardstock squares and stamped them with the apples.

I had some strip borders and used them randomly as decoration for the tags.

The binder paper strips are the negatives from a CM border punch I had in my stash.

I just love this Creative Embellishments wooden shapes, those I made holes using my crocodile and used as dangle with some twine.

 I also colored another wooden shape (the  apple with the worm) and added to one special bookmark:

Finally. I attached one pillow box to each laminated bookmark with scotch tape:

I hope the teachers and you like their little bookmarks and the few goodies I could fit in these pillow gift boxes.

Best wishes for your week

Happy Easter Frame

Happy Easter

Dear scrappers, 

I was saving this project for today. I was a class that I thought two weeks ago:

I made it from a TH kit with the clear acrylic tiles and decided to use the the Sweet Sentiments paper from Graphic 45 and other embellishments to decorate it:

I painted the unfinished frame with vanilla ice cream and pearl acrylic paint and added some roses stenciling with a TH stencil with the Art Anthology sorbet dimensional paint and diluted it with vanilla acrylic paint and heated to get the dimensional effect:

I diluted to much the color and couldn't get a nice contrast, thus I added some green patina antiquing cream from DecoArt to the rest of the frame, this kind of teal color has a nice shimmer to it:

Then, I added the paper pieces following TH kit's instructions.

Some closer looks at the finished frame, I added more texture using some fun fabrics and flowers from Mom Ami Gabby:

I added some stamping and die cut from Heartfelt creations and heat embossed it before adding some coloring using Wink of Stella brushes. 

As well some Easter foil washi tape (little B):

I also added some metal crosses I bought a a local catholic store, some laser cut self-adhesive ribbon:

And some CTMH buttons:

And some rhinestones fish: 

I am really happy with the final results and hope you do too.

Happy Easter

He is risen
