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.

Path of Positivity: Autumn Colours

 

Hello

Welcome to the October Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by our Colour Palette.

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 PickVoter's ChoiceMost InspirationalRandom WinnerDT Delight.
Today I have 2 projects to share :



Aren't the colours glorious!
This is our suggested colour palette, taking in the rich and yummy colours of autumn:


For the Owl journal page, I used Colourful Grunge paper and a quirky, Whimsical Bird from ChezSimoneTresors. I heat embossed some stamping in gold onto the paper and inked around the edges., adding some cross stitch stamping in diagonally opposite corners. I fussy cut the bird, stamped some grounding and adhered it to the background. I love the sentiment - I found it online.

The second card uses Sizzix dies (Funky Wreath and Funky Foliage) which I coloured with Oxide inks. A piece of inked card was placed beneath the one with die cut apertures (using (Mixed Media set #1). The sentiment is stamped using an AALL & Create stamp..

Path of Positivity: Autumn Glory


Hello

Welcome to the October Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by our Colour Palette.

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 PickVoter's ChoiceMost InspirationalRandom WinnerDT Delight.

Here is my DT project:


Aren't the colours glorious!
This is our suggested colour palette, taking in the rich and yummy colours of autumn:


I found a new-to-me Etsy shop last month and am absolutely besotted with the images and papers. It's called ChezSimoneTresors and the beautiful houses are from a pack called Whimsical Houses. I adjusted the dimensions and printed out one of the images three times. This meant that I could cut into two of them and layer them up on foam tape for a dimensional project.
I decided to add an autumn lady as well, she is from the Autumn Leaves collection. She was printed and fussy cut. I inked the edges, so that no white card was showing, and popped her into the foreground. I matted onto gold paper, then black card and placed it on a white card blank.


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!

Conjurer of Dreams: Fairy Fall Mouse


Hello

One of my blogging friends has recently opened a new Etsy store called Conjurer of Dreams and there she is selling Digital Art.  The images are absolutely stunning., I hope you'll pop over and take a look.

Here I used a **free image** from the Facebook Group to create a card.


Isn't she a cute little fairy mouse! 
I matted her onto kraft card and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to darken it up a little. I chose some sunflower-yellow polkadot paper from Lawn Fawn as my background. I distressed the edges of the patterned paper with scissors, added the topper, popped on foam tape for dimension, and die cut and coloured some leaves and a flower for the cluster embellishment. I adhered a piece of brown velvet trim and a knot bow and used kraft card as a mat atop a blank white card base.

* Crafts Galore Encore: Forest Friends

 

Hello

 Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 29th November.

This month's challenge is not sponsored by a company, but the winner will get a £15 Etsy Voucher to spend on whatever they like - of course we would like it to be on crafty products, but that is entirely up to the winner!

Here is my project using the adorable Forest Friends stamp set by Donna Gray, know as inkyandquirky on Instagram. The stamps are sold by Funky Fossil Designs. I love the folksy feel to these stamps.


My project started as ATCs. I made some inky backgrounds using an AALL & Create stencil with Brushos and Infusions pigments mixed together. I love the random effect this gives. Some gold splatters were flicked along with white acrylic and some black stamping was added with an AALL & Create stamp.
I stamped the Forest Friends in Versafine Nocture so that the lovely detail would not be lost, then clear embossed. I fussy cut around the image leaving a thin white border. The leaves and flowers were also created from the same set.


I added a piece of jute trim along the base of the card and trapped some gold mesh trim behind it. The focal images were popped on foam pads. I added a large gem to the centre of the flower and some tiny gems along the jute. The sentiments are Idea-ology Clipping Stickers.


Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs. 


We'd love to see your creations.
Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!

* Path of Positivity: Welcoming Autumn

 Hello

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

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 PickVoter's ChoiceMost InspirationalRandom WinnerDT Delight.

I chose to make my DT project about the arrival of autumn. Whilst I don't particularly like cold, wet and windy weather, I do love the colours in this season of change, especially when accompanied by bright, sunshine and clear blue skies :).

Here is the card I made:


I made a wreath using foliage stamps from Inkylicious and Lavinia and inked the background with Elements inks, adding some water droplets to the edges to give a faux bleach effect.
The lovely bird is a stamp called Merry Magpie from Rubber Dance. She was stamped onto white card and fussy cut, then adhered to the wreath.
I matted the background onto black card and popped all onto a card base. Here is a close up:
