* Conjurer of Dreams: Let Your Dreams Take Flight

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 and on the new blog is 

'Let Your Dreams Take Flight'.

So, you can make anything that you love or dream about!

I love the autumn season with its changing colours.

I used a die from AALL & Create called Spring Sprouts to cut the Rolodex cards and I bound them into a mini book with discs.

Each page was coloured with Distress Oxide inks applied to an acrylic block, spritze.d with water and stamped onto the die cut cards. I used the colours from the images to create the backgrounds.

The front cover has an aperture. Below you can see that the back side of each of the rolodex cards were left without images to let the lovely coloured ink show.

The cards have some tall pine trees stamped in black (and secondary stamping for added dimension), along with gold embossed branches in the top section and gold embossing all around the card edges of the cards on both the front and back. I echoed the embossed branches in the top corners of the images and edged each image in gold embossing powder too. I love the warm glimmer and shine it gives out.

Here are the images and sentiments on each of the following pages:

  

  

  

The sentiments are Tim Holtz's Idea-ology 'Small Talk' sticker sentiments.

Next, I made a couple of postcards featuring two of the Fall Beauty ladies, which I added to my small journal.

For the backgrounds I placed a Lavinia stencil, called Vine Leaves, on white card and sprinkled Brusho pigments (orange, lemon and brown) over the stencil so that the powder lay in the spaces on the card. Next I spritzed lightly with water to activate the pigments and when the stencil was removed I was left with a beautiful negative image of the creeping vines.

I added the images, matting them onto card coloured with the same pigments, and added a selection of die cut leaves, flowers and a toadstool along with a bunch of small stamen heads.

The sentiments are from the 'Small Talk' Idea-ology sticker book.

 For my next project I digitally added the Fall Beauty ladies to the Harvest Moon backgrounds, then I printed the 'new' images out twice in different sizes. I printed different backgrounds also from the Harvest Moon set. and matted the background on black card.

 

 The edges of both the backgrounds and the two digitally created images were heat embossed with gold powder and layered on top of each other with foam tape for dimension. I love how these turned out - the colours are really vibrant and they have a 3-D effect with dimension and texture and shimmer from the gold edging.

Finally, I strayed away from the autumn theme and made two masculine cards using 3 Conjurer of Dreams sets, Stained Glass Waves, Stained Glass Lighthouse and Sea Captain.

I love anything to do with the ocean and the beach and these backgrounds are simply amazing!

Again, I digitally added the Sea Captain to the backgrounds and then printed the images out, using a different Stained Glass image as the background. Just simple matting (onto black card) and layering for a stunning effect.

* Conjurer of Dreams: Mystical Creatures

  

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 Mystical Creatures.

Here is what I made:

It's a mini accordion book featuring the beautiful Unicorn Magic set. 
I made a three fold accordion and a folder wallet for the cover. I brayered paint on both sides of the card, then embossed in iridescent glitter powder and white glitter powder. Lots of white paint splatters were added and the edges of the card were inked in black.

I cut an aperture in the front cover and used circle dies to make a narrow circular frame.

Each page has an image, a sentiment (which is a lesson from a unicorn), some silver trim and some gems.

Here is the three fold accordion:

And here is the back side of the accordion:

The following photo is not the best, due to it being a cloudy day, but was taken from above and shows the structure of the booklet.

I made a short video.

I'm not sure why you have to turn your head at 90 degrees to your body to watch it, though :) , and please excuse the pile of old books propping up my ipad.. I need lessons in making videos!

Next, I decided to start a Conjurer of Dreams mini journal where I will place any post cards that I make. 

Here are the first pair, featuring the gorgeous Steampunk Forest Animals set 2:

I used a stencil and Brusho Powders (Turquoise and Lime Green) to create the background with lots of white paint splatters. The images are matted onto Brusho painted card and some die cut wild flower stems were added along with a funky circle die cut. The sentiments are from Idea-ology.

Because I love these images so much, here is a couple of close ups:

And here is what they look like in my journal:

I decided to use repositional tape to adhere them int he journal, that way if I need one to make a quick card they can be removed and popped onto a card base.

Here is the journal I use, it's sturdy and just a nice size:

And then I used the Quirky Beast Plaid set to make another two post cards:

Again I used a stencil for the background and used the 'stamping with a stencil' method to apply the Distress Oxide inks to the background. White, green and yellow paint splatters were applied and some black stamping around the edges. I added a die cut grass edge and a flower anlong with a snarky sentiment.

And here they are in my journal:
