Here is my ATC:

I used one of the Steampunk Puss in Boots images along with a background from Steampunk Backgrounds and Elements. I manipulated the images digitally to get the cat to stand against the background and the frame in front of him. The resulting image was printed and added to black card. I added gold acrylic pen around the outer frame and some gold embossing powder and  I die cut some cogs from gold painted card. I added Glossy Accents to the remaining cogs and to parts of the frame. I used alpha stickers to add the sentiment.

Conjurer of Dreams: Spooky House with Pumpkins

  Hello

Today I'm sharing a tag that I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

This week in the Facebook Group we are celebrating the first anniversary of Conjurer of Dreams and we are having a week of sales, activities and prizes.

Todays activity was to make a card with the theme 'Pumpkin Patch'.

Here is my card:

I found a freebie image from last year on the Conjurer of Dreams Facebook Page - it's a stained glass window depicting a spooky house. 

I printed it out twice and cut the second image around the stained glass frame I then decoupaged the mage, using foam tape for dimension. I added glossy accents to the stained glass and to the windows of the mansion. I popped the decoupaged image onto a small tent card base.

Path of Positivity: Keep Your Face to the Sunshine

Hello

Welcome back to the Path of Positivity Challenge..

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. We have decided that our overall theme for 2024 will be THE POWER OF WORDS.

September's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about Strength and Courage.

***

Here is my midway project:

I used the beautiful Helen Keller quote along with this quirky sunflower stamp, designed by Melia Dahl for That's Crafty, to make a bookmark.

 I coloured the sunflower with Inktense Watercolour pencils and fussy cut it. I added it to a background made by stamping Oxide Inks with a stencil. Lots of white splatters were added to the background and I inked the edges in black. The quote was typed, printed and cut into strips. Finally I added an eyelet and colour-matching ribbon.

***

Here are this month's suggested quotes, but you can, of course, use your own:

 “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” — Helen Keller

“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” — Marcus Aurelius

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.” — Earl Nightingale

 

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” — Steve Maraboli

 

“The sun himself is weak when he first rises, and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on.” — Charles Dickens

***

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations! 

Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!

 The link up is here: Challenge #123 Path of Positivity.

Many thanks to Scribbles Designs for sponsoring the challenge.

I'll be back with a another Path of Positivity project in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Conjurer of Dreams: Fall Friend Tag

 Hello

Today I'm sharing a tag that I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

This week in the Facebook Group we are celebrating the first anniversary of Conjurer of Dreams and we are having a week of sales, activities and prizes.

Todays activity was to make a tag with the theme 'Fall Friend'

Here is my tag:

I die cut a tag from black card and added one of the Wrought Iron Gate images. I fussy cut around the kangaroo Yarn Animal (available on request), popped him on foam tape and adhered him to the tag with some gold mesh trim beneath. I added some glossy accents to his eyes and a gem to his jumper. I then added some autumn coloured, die cut leaves to the top and bottom of the tag and threaded ribbon through the eyelet.

It's my DT day today, so here is what I made: 

Fist up is a shaker card. I used one of the beautiful images from the Stay Wild Moon Child collage set and make a shaker frame by cutting out die frames and adhering them together. I added midnight blue, gold and orange sequins as the shaker element.

The background was finger painted with acrylic paints from PaperArtsy, then splattered with white and gold paint. The flowers and foliage were die cut from painted card.

Paint (more than one person can ever use in a lifetime) and sequins (ditto)

* A Cut Above Sept 28/09

Next I made a triple diamond point card.

Here is the stood up view:

 I used another beautiful image from the Stay Wild Moon Child collage set and cut it with a circular die. I matted it on a die cut, white, scalloped circle. I chose paper  from my stash to match the colours in the image. 

Lying down view:

I made die cut flowers and leaves as embellishment:

*The Crafting Challenge Sept AG 30/09

I made a very simple notecard, just using the gorgeous image from Stay Wild Moon Child and adding mats in gold and teal.

***

An altered spiral bound notebook - my favourite kind! 

First, I coated the kraft, hard backed, cover in Inky Pool acrylic paint. When it was thoroughly dry, I splattered some white paint and added silver embossing powder around the edges. I made an inky background with Distress Oxides. I decided to give this (and the image) a coat of Distress Glaze to seal the surface so it wouldn't  react with any water. The image is from Stay Wild Moon Child. I added some silver metallic looking gems to frame the image and added a moon charm.
