Flower Horse

Hi there,

we are starting a new Mixed Media Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog and this time I would like to show you this little horse that I decorated for my daughters room:

• cover a wooden horse with white gesso
• add color with Distress Paint Cracked Pistachio
• apply Texture Paste through the ARTplorations Old Rose Print Mini stencil
• color the roses with watered-down Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Salt Water Taffy
• add splatters with watered-down Distress Paint Shaded Lilac
• use little black enamel dots as eyes

I can't wait to see your creations in the gallery. 

Hugs,

Frosty Squirrel

Hi there,

I created this frosty card for Elizabeth Craft Designs:

• create a frame using two of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Frame it - Stitched Rectangles and grey cardstock
• cut a watercolor panel to fit into the frame
• stamp the squirrel and the mistletoe from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Animals set with Versafine Smokey Gray
• color the images with Derwent Inktense pencils and damp watercolor brush
• add color to the background with watered-down Distress Re-Inker Peacock Feathers
• cover the whole panel with Elizabeth Craft Designs clear double-sided adhesive and add Elizabeth Craft Designs Silk Microfine Glitter Cool Diamond
• take a slightly larger panel of turquoise cardstock and add color and shading with Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles)
• stamp some snowflakes from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Snowflakes set with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Silver Bells embossing powder
• add some more embossing powder around the edges for a messy finish

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Thanks Snow Much

Hi there,

we are starting a new TAGplorations Challenge on the STAMPlorations Blog and this time it is all about Winter and the optional twist is Texture Paste:

• cut out one of the CUTplorations Stitched Tags from Bristol Smooth cardstock
• stamp the adorable little houses from the STAMPlorations Homespun Christmas set and the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Winter Chill set with Versafine Clair Morning Mist
• color the image with Derwent Artists pencils
• dye a piece of torn seam binding with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass and thread it through the hole of the tag
• apply some Texture Paste through the ARTplorations Dots all over stencil and let it dry thoroughly

My daughter Emily (8) created a little Winter Tag too:

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Snow Flurry - Schneegestöber
