Conjurer of Dreams: Winged Beauties

 Hello

Today I'm sharing some projects 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.

The theme this month in the Facebook Group is Winged Beauty?.

Here is what I made:

This card features a humming bird from the Winged Beauty 2 set.

A white die cut card is placed on top of a Distress Oxide coloured piece of card which was also splattered with white paint. Some die cut leaves and flowers were made in complementary colours and the humming bird was fussy cut and popped on foam tape for dimension. Glitter was added to the bird image and the flowers.

These Flapper Girls with Wings are gorgeous in lovely sepia tones.

I selected some fancy dies, and some neutral papers and card to make a couple of cards.

This one uses Tim Holtz paper in the background matted upon gold card. The die cuts the image and the frame, so I had to make sure I printed the image at the right size.. I distressed the edges of the design paper with scissors and added a velvet ribbon and a knot bow to finish it off.

I used a Sizzix die to cut some pearly cream card and matted it onto bronze coloured paper. The image was cut and the edges distressed and matted first upon bronze paper, then on the pearly card. A lace flower was popped in the bottom corner as a simple embellishment.

These next cards feature the beautiful, watercolour Birds on a Branch.

I used a scalloped stitched die to cut the image and cut a larger frame from card coloured with Oxide inks splattered with water. I used a Lavinia stencil to add ink to opposite corners of the background, using two shades of each colour to add a little depth. I added some ink oxide splatters and inked around the edges of the background.

My last card features the butterfly from the Winged Beauty set.

I used simple matting and layering with the help of some dies, white card and navy blue card to create this one.

And finally, some digital collages:

Path of Positivity: Every Dream Begins with a Wish

 

 

Hello

Welcome to the midway post for 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.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about Dreams.

Here are this month's quotes, but you can choose your own:

“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not’?” — George Bernard Shaw

 

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ― C.S. Lewis

“No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big.” ― Anonymus

 

“Goals are dreams brought to life.” ― Amy Leigh Mercree  

Honours and Prizes include:

• $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
• A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project.

I chose Lavinia Stamps and a Lavinia Laurel stencil to make my fairy wish card.

The background is a gel print made with Distress Oxide inks and the Laurel stencil. I added extra Peacock Feather ink around the edges and along a landscape mask to show the ground. I ink blended around a circle mask to replicate the sun. 

The Lavinia stamps used were: Moments Like These, one of the Large Wild Hares, the Fairy Charms, Foliage set, Mystic Swirl and the Every Dream sentiment stamp.

I added watercolour pencil to the fairy wings and some sparkle with Glimmer Dust glitter.

* Path of Positivity: The Magic of New Beginnings

 

Hello

Welcome to the midway January post for 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.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about New Beginnings.

Here are the quotes chosen for this month:: 

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one."

— Brad Paisley

“New month, new intentions, new goals, new love, new light, and new beginnings.” 

— April Mae Monterrosa

"The magic in new beginnings is the most powerful of them all." 

 — Josiyah Martin

"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter waiting to be written." 

 — Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.” 

— T.S. Eliot

Honours and Prizes include:

• $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
• A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project.

I decided to use one of the new beginning quotes and add some stamped images. 

I made a stencilled background using dye based inks and added white splatters. I darkened the edges with Oxide inks and Versafine Nocturn ink. The lovely stamps are from Rubber Dance (Loose Florals 1 and Textiured Birds). I coloured them with Inktense watercolour pencils. They are fussy cut leaving a thin border and are loosely attached to the stencilled background, so that there is some dimension and movement. The sentiment was typed and cut into strips.

White paint splatters were applied to the coloured stamps and Glossy Accents added to the flower centres and to the bird's eye.
