Family Tree :)

Made this for a bestie who is researching her family tree :) The professions/descriptions relate to various discoveries she has made along the way (Not always as they seemed at first or in this order lol).

I sprayed Cosmic Shimmer sprays over a wooden laser cut tree to make the background. Then I stamped Lawn Fawn Bannerific banners is Memento Ink and coloured them with copics. I added pseudo italic style text by hand. Embellished with a few punched oak leaves to finish.

The September Challenge!

Challenge 11 on the Crafty Addicts Facebook Group goes live today! Theme this time is, as normal, Anything Goes, and the optional option (lol, going to leave that in!) of "Use Glitter". Sami Stamps is the sponsor this time, she has some amazing images, you'll be hard pressed to choose if you win! She's giving away a $12 gift card to the winner!

I chose to use the image "With You" from Sami Stamps for my DT inspiration card. I needed an image for an Anniversary Card and I thought it would be nice change from hearty type pictures!

I tried doing some distress ink blending on kraft card, and then cosmic shimmer mist over the top to get a watery effect. I masked off the image and text whilst I played with the ink. Font is "Little Lord Fontleroy". I added some sequins around the image (kind of wanting it to look rainy?) and then made the umbrella out of two glitter card stocks. The flowery one I have had since the beginning of time, must have been one of the first things I bought when I started to make cards and FINALLY I have used it on a project, lol. Image is unsurprisingly coloured with polychromos... the waxy finished meant it resisted the ink that made it through my masks really well!

June Facebook Crafty Addicts Challenge!

I loved making the card for this challenge and I have been waiting forever to be able to post about it :)

It's time for a new challenge on The Crafty Addicts Facebook Group. And this time the theme is as normal, "Anything Goes" and optionally "Bling it Up". My card is indeed very blingy in real life but sadly not so blingy in the photo, erf!

This challenge is sponsored by A Day For Daisies ($12 voucher to winner) and Morgan's Artworld (3 free digis to winner.)

I used an image called "Fairy Dog 3" from A Day for Daisies. I love it. Once I saw it I couldn't choose anything else. It is also perfect for a card I need to give in June, so double whammy bonus! :)

Its actually a one layer card, well, apart from the fact I decided in the end to crop it and mount it onto another card base. I printed the image and text onto card stock, masked them off and then sprayed it with Cosmic Shimmer Sprays. I then removed the masks and coloured in the dog with distress inks used like watercolours. I then added lots of Stickles glitter. So the Mica in the sprays and the glitter make it pretty blingy in real life.... not so in photograph tho! It's so cute... I kinda want to keep it. :)
