Path of Positivity: Toadstool Jewellery and Card

Hello

 Today is the start of the March challenge at the Path of Positivity.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. 

As this year we are looking at the UNEXPECTED  

the option for March is to 

Make something you wouldn't normally make

This is what I made:

I follow Emma Parrish on You Tube and love her Etsy Store full of remarkable printables. 

Last year she did a video where she made a set of jewellery and a pop up card. She even gave away the printable free of charge! She used a new-to-me-product called UV Resin. I had to have a go!

I made a toadstool necklace and a pair of toadstool earrings as well as a small gift card with a pop up toadstool. Glossy Accents was used to add texture to the pop up toadstool.

The UV Resin was very easy to use and dries under the lamp in 90 seconds. It is extremely hard and has a glass-like finish.

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!

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

Conjurer of Dreams: Spring Time is Almost Here

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.

We have an open, worldwide challenge at the Conjurer of Dreams Blog.

The challenge theme is always 'Anything Goes'.

We hope you'll share your projects with us.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where we would love for you to share your Conjurer of Dream projects.

Here are my DT makes.

Stained Glass Tulips

I used the Stained Glass Tulips set to make a jewellery set and an arched shaped card..

The images in this set are gorgeous and so spring like :)

Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges #2509 AG 09/03

The Four Seasons Challenge Spring 25/03

For the jewellery the images were reduced in size and printed. Each piece of jewellery has 2 images so that they can be attached back to back. They images were adhered  to black card, then adhered back to back. PVA glue was painted over the images to seal them. A small hole was poked through the top of each of the pieces. UV Resin was then applied and cured and the jewellery findings attached.

The result is like glass.

Moss Forest Fairy Card

 

Pinspirational Challenges #323 Spring Greens 31/03

The Moss Forest Fairy set of images are beautiful. I used one of them here to make a card. I made some die cut flowers and foliage and added a sticker sentiment.

***

Rocking Chair Notecards

These lovely images of Rocking Chair are super for notecards or retirement cards. I added the images to embossed white card and chose a circle alpha die to make the sentiment.

***

Alice in Dreamland Notebook

I altered the cover of a spiral bound Kraft notebook with 3D embossed brick card, coloured with Distress Oxide inks and a digitally combined image of Alice in Dreamland against a backdrop of a Stained Glass Fountain.

***

Stained Glass Tulips Postcards

The tulips were fussy cut from the stained glass windows and adhered to textured white card with some washi tape to ground them. Black sticker sentiments were added.The card was popped onto distressed dotty paper  to frame the images.

Handmade Jewellery by Monika

Hello!

Today I received happy mail!

It is a beautiful Mountain Crystal necklace, handmade by my friend, Monika.

 

The beautiful colour, I believe, is due to impurities in the quartz and this yellow quartz is often called citrine. The yellow threads within the crystal look like spun gold.

It is wrapped in copper wire in such an intricate pattern and is on a copper chain. It is truly beautiful!

Monika has just opened a new store called Tobisia's Lil Thing on Depop.

Please take a look and support her if you can. Tell all your friends and family :) 

Monika has been making jewellery for a number of years and she sells at local craft fairs and at a gift shop close to her home in Northumberland.
She makes silver-plated earrings and wire-wrapped copper jewellery pieces with glass beads, sea glass and genuine gemstones. Her craftsmanship is of the highest quality and the pieces come in nicely presented boxes and bags.



I highly recommend her jewellery for that special gift, or as a treat to yourself. 

Here are some of the pieces currently available:
