Autumn in the City

Hello!

Autumn in the City is the Challenge at the Freetany Flowers Blog.

I have made an 8” x 8” canvas. 

I thought that the Falling in Love Collection from ScrapMir would be perfect for this lovely couple (Ana & Diego).

This is the MoodBoard from which the color palette and flowers are required elements. 

I was also inspired by the berries, pumpkins, and leaves. 

I have used the sketch from the Charmed Scrap Blog this month, and I will also join that Challenge.

I started out with this lovely chip from ArtLines.

I will also join ThePassage of Time Challenge 36 at the LadyBug Blog. Cutting and Chip are required, as well as a clock/watch.

 

The following LadyBug dies were used:

 

The heart die cut and "imagine" chippie were coated with the same metallic paint. They look different because the heart was cut out of brown cardstock. The chip was first primed with white gesso.

And a couple of close-ups...

I'm sorry that the photo doesn’t really capture the shimmer correctly.

I was happy with the results, as I normally shy away from the mixed media department. I see any stamping, ink, or paint, and, I don't know, I'm like a monkey with a banana!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Welcome Baby Girl!

Hello!

I'm out of Summer Hybernation with a money envelope for a Baby Girl. I have used the So Loved Collection from ScrapMir.

Everyone is familiar with this embossing powder; white with chunks of gold, and either blue or pink powder. I wanted that, but with some bright pink to bring out the pink in the paper. 

 This lovely mix of baby chip is from ScrapBox.

The powders don’t actually mix together, which was a good surprise.

I will add my card to the ScrapClubEk Chip Challenge.

I made my own flower with a circle of pink/white gingham fabric. It’s finished with a pink button in the center. 

I have a pink mini-crocheted ring, a pink fabric flower from SweetScrap Shop strung with tulle, some lace from Blagolis, cross-stitch floss (to hang the charm/pearl/crystals) ribbon, and décor leaves from AllmaCraft. 

I will join the Tactile/Textile Challenge at the VSKBlog.

I also have a fabric Butterfly button.

Along with the Flowers and Lace, they make the Left Vertical line of the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge at Скрап-просторы.

The patterned paper flower is made with AgiArt die Agi1018, and I will add my card to their October Gallery.

I just love the crown for the Little Princess!

I put a card inside to include a message. 

Thank you so much for visiting!

Holiday Chocolate Boxes

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Here is my last project of December.

I needed SIX chocolate boxes for my five brothers and sisters, as well as one for my father.

I’m adding these to the Holiday Magic Challenge at the ScrapMir Blog.

There were enough die cuts in the Ethnic New Year Collection from ScrapMania, and I will add my project to the January Gallery there.

I will also add my chocolates to the January Gallery at the Fantasy Blog.



I have used this lovely double-frame die.
