Enjoy the journey

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a bunch of Tim Holtz Idea-ology and a Sizzix die and Stampers Anonymous stencil and also a stamp set.


I started with a white panel and blended Distress Prize Ribbon ink over top. I




I added some Distress Icicle Crackle paste over a few areas.


When that was dry I lightly sprayed the panel with a bit of Blueprint Sketch Distress spray stain.



I die cut the butterfly with white card stock and blended Prize Ribbon Distress ink over top. I added gold metallic rub-on lightly to the raised areas.


I added bits of Idea-ology from different ephemera sets on to my card.
The whole panel was mounted on to a sheet from the Idea-ology Backdrop #4 pack and then mounted to a piece of gold striped metallic card stock.

I also added a quote chip for my sentiment and an Idea-ology metal star coloured with Prize Ribbon crayon.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻❤️

Spring is coming

 Hi everyone, 

Today I have a rather large Spring tag to share with you. That bird is a big bird so I needed the space😀



I started by creating my bird and egg first. I then went onto the background of the tag.

I used a stencil and some Distress inks. Then I added a layer of Distress paste off top.
In different places I added some stamped writing and images to the background. I also distressed the edges of the tag with my Tim Holtz distressing tool.


I added an Idea-ology flower to the tag which I had coloured with Distress crayons. I had die cut the letters Spring from a piece that I had alcohol inked and had added silver foil to.




The butterfly is an ephemera Idea-ology piece. 
You can see the crackle in the photo above and below.




I die cut some branches and foliage. I also added trim to both the top and bottom of the tag.
The tag was mounted to a piece of cork and clipped at the top with an Idea-ology clip.


I added an Idea-ology sentiment and the numbers 2 and 0 were die cut signifying the first day of Spring for 2023.


You can see the Icicle paste crackle below.



Well that’s it for today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
