CCB DT March Challenge- Spring and Butterflies

For our March Challenge at CCB, the theme was Spring and Butterflies!  I'm currently in love with the Glimmer Sprays from Tattered Angels that CCB makes!  So I made a quad mixed media Spring Piece with Butterflies and paper flowers! 


I used some Prima Platinum crackle paste to add some texture. Once I sprayed the Tattered Angels Sprays on to the canvas, it magically blended!


On the butterflies I used TA High Impact Paints and Glimmer Spray to add sparkle.

Mardi Gras Man

I made a Mardi Gras Voodoo doll and he turned out really cute! He's a bit bigger than the normal Voodoo doll because of his hat!  He is available now in my Etsy Store! Voodoo you!


We are not like other's Valentine's

So I am a Halloween Haunter and have lots of friends that are as well! What that means, is that they think about Halloween 24/7 365!!!  So when sending cards or goodies to them, I usually put a Halloween twist on the item!  These two cards were made for Haunter friends and I like how they turned out! Using a variety of techniques as stamping, embossing wet and embossing dry the first card was made with a Stampotique Stamp!


The second card was made by using negative space hearts from a die cut and layering them for the background. The stamp is from Viva Las Vegas! I just love these little guys!


These will be available for sale in my Etsy store!

Spots for SSS Feb Challenge and Frilly and Funkie Challenge

Since I was making frou, frou cards, I thought I would enter some into the SSS challenge and Frilly and Funkie Challenge.  I love this polka dot die that I got from SSS because you can use the negative space dots for a card as well as the die cut out!  I love when you can stretch your dies!  Plus I also used the layered nesting heart dies as well!  Pink and brown and Pink and grey colors! You can enter the Frilly and Funkie Challenge here http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2018/01/all-you-need-is-love.html

These are for sale in my Etsy shop as well!




Valentines for friends

So I decided to make some Valentine's for friends this year! These are kind of frou, frou cards but I like how they turned out!  These are die cut cuts that have multiple layers to build up dimension which I like! Thank goodness for foam tape and my Xyron Machine! It makes sticking the small pieces together much easier!

Of course I couldn't make a Valentine card without Tim Holtz! This is the rose embossing folder that he put out in 2017! I just love it and colored with regular Distress Inks!  The Rose Die cut is from SSS and the Love is from HA. I put these up for sale in my Etsy store as well!
