June challenge time at Creative Embellishments

Hi everyone.  I am so excited for this month's challenge over at Creative Embellishments.  I have to say I had a blast doing this one.

Here is my take on the photo:

 



For this month's challenge, I made a shadow box tag.  They are so much fun to do. For the inside, I layered masking tape, layers of paint, stamping using the distressed script and paint splat trio stamps.  I embossed using a TH texture fade folder, then covered in Prima Art Basics platinum crackle.  I used the steampunk clock for the center focal point.   I added fussy cut images from Steampunk Debutante including the butterflies for the twist.

 

 

For the outside.  I used masking tape, gesso, modeling paste, embossing powders and texture sand to get varying textures.  I used steampunk clock hands, loose parts, propellers, steampunk frame, gear set 2 large, gear set 2 medium, and gear set 2 small.

Pocket Letter Number Two for Creative Embellishments

Hi there folks....I am up on the Creative Embellishment's blog again today with another pocket letter.  These are super fun to make.  This time I grabbed items from my stash, some fabulous CE Chippies, and a CE stamp to make this one.  Of course there is tons of glitter with my few favorite way of the day to add to papers and make chippies come alive.  Tons of fun. 

 

This CE fairy door is amazing.  It has so many details down to the wood grain, the window, and layered hinge.  I wanted o keep the look of the door, so I added Tea Stain and Vintage Photo distress stains to color then added Wink of Stella clear glitter pen over the whole door to make it shine.  It glitters like a magical fair.  Added some moss to give it the forest fairy feel.  If you look close in the window, there is a teeny tiny fairy smiling back at you.

 

 

 

In the top Middle pocket I added stamping using the grunge music note border stamp in coffee archival ink.  I also used a frond that I used Mowed Lawn distress stain and more Wink of Stella on to create a climbing structures for play for the tiny fairies.

 

Just a reminder to come and join us for some for some fun on the CE Blog for the monthly challenges.  A winner is chosen randomly each month for a $50 gift voucher for the store.  You can make anything as long as your are inspired by the challenge photo, try the twist, and use at least one CE product.  Easy peasy.

Pocket Letter with Creative Embellishments

 

Hi all.  I am up on the Creative Embellishments blog today with a Pocket Letter.  I have to say I was a little late to jump on the bandwagon.  I was asked to fill in a spot on a swap so thought it was a good time to try.  It was actually a lot of fun to do.There are 9 atcs in a Paris theme.  I stuffed little goodies into the back of each pocket for my partner.   I used digital prints, and pieces of G45 and Prima papers, inks, lots of bits, flowers, bling, and of course my favorite CE stamping and chippies. I finished off with some lace and chippies.

 

 On the top left pocket, I made a pocket envelope to let my partner know a little about me.  I added stamping with the distress script stamp to give it more texture as well as on the bottom left on top of the raw chipboard letters, and on the middle far right pocket.  On that same chippie I used a piece of the door knocker.  On the middle top pocket I used a piece of the brick lattice.  These were so much fun, I think I will try another.
