Embrace Beauty

Hi everyone Ivett here again!

I sure hope you are having a fabulous week! Today I’m stopping by to share this layout I created for you using a subdued yet impacting color combination.

I hope you have a moment to scroll on through :)

 

I grabbed some white 140lbs cardstock and sprayed Grab a Guy Gold Starburst Spray, Whale Watch Blue Starburst Spray, & A Bit of Bubbly Starburst Spray, thru a stencil and created this beautiful background for my layout. I also used Geranium Coral Blush embossing powder and embossed this amazing wood doily piece with it! 

Bellow I have a video tutorial for you to enjoy parts of how I put it together.

 I hope you've enjoyed my project this week!

Gelli Plate Altered Canvas {LSG Color Challenge}

 It's that time again! We are having a Color Challenge over at Lindy's Stamp Gang! 

I created this beautiful 4X4" mini canvas using these fabulous colors that match our color challenge colors. The colors I used were: Frenchy's Pink Pouf FF, Heliotrope Purple Plum ST, Tweedle Dee Denim FF, Down the Rabbit Hole ST, & Greased Lightenin' Green FF. 

 

I used my 8" circle Gelli Plate to create a color pallet and then cut them into strips. Please take a quick look at the video bellow for more info on how I put it together.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spring Banner {IAR March Challenge}

Hi everyone hope you all are doing well! Today I want to share this cute Spring home decor banner I created using my fabulous I Am Roses! For our March Challenge we were asked to pick two colors and incorporate our flowers into a a special creation just for you! I chose Teal and white {my favorite colors} and added them into this banner.

I used some vintage lace to back the rosette flowers that i made from a My Minds Eye paper pad. I also used a TH Vintage Market Dye to cut out my letters and then sprayed 

them with some Lindy's Stamp Gang spray in Gossamer Gold and I also added some brown and white bakers twine in between each banner as an added touch. 

Vintage Fabric Collage

Fabric collage is an original technique that's a cross between collage and decoupage, created by bonding many fabrics together in layers. Almost every kind of fabric can be found in these collages.

Sometimes I start with a single piece of fabric that inspires me and then build a collage around it. More often, I start with a color scheme in mind and then choose various fabrics, or laces cutting them in a free-form manner and building the layers as I go, envisioning landscapes or underwater seascapes or even perhaps a dream-scape.  Each collage is one-of-a-kind. 

In this fabric and lace collage I used a enormous I Am Roses Gardenia and mini beige crochet flowers to give this piece a beautiful touch. 

 

 I hope that I have inspired you to make one of your own! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Vintage Mail

Most of us enjoy brand-new happy mail on a regular basis. We receive those brand-new goodies to play with and get excited over it. Well this week I was fortunate enough to receive this happy mail and as you can see it's definitely not brand-new, it's not shiny, nor is it in that annoying package that we can't get the stuff out fast enough! A good friend of mine went junking and I was fortunate enough that she shared some of these with me. I can't wait to get my hands dirty and Scuffidi's up a little more than they already are, add even more character than they all need, and give them a good final home on a piece of art! Thanks so much my friend for sharing these beautiful goodies with me. I can't wait to come back and show you guys what I've made... 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesomely creative weekend!

A Little Birdie told Me

Hi Everyone Ivett here once more! For my project today I have photo intensive post to share, I was excited to use the lovely and incredibly detailed LaBlanche stamp called Framed Chickadee, it's just gorgeous, and so much fun to color.  I used a combination Starburst Sprays, Flat Fabio, &  Moon Shadow Mist because
of all the details.

   

 Then I colored the image in with Gossamer Gold Moon Shadow Mist, Crow's Nest Cooper Moon Shadow Mist, Cattail Copper Brown, Wild Honeysuckle Coral, & Greased Lightening Green Flat Fabio.

Above I colored some branches I punched with Mystic Malachite Moon Shadow Mist & Greased Lightening Green Flat Fabio. I added some Liquitex Glass Beads on the Bird, branch, and leaves for added texture and interest. Then I went over the entire image with Tea Dye Distress ink. Bellow you can see where I added my favorite Tibetan Poppy Teal Starburst Spray to the frame then I stamped a French script background on a crisp white card added brown twine and voilà!

 

 

I hope this project inspires you thanks so much for stopping by.
