ATC Theme Sewing

This is an atc that i made for a swap in a group that i am in called A Crafters Heaven, this is the link

http://community.ebay.co.uk/findclub.jspa?q=a+crafters+heaven

We chose our own theme so i decided to make my ATC about Sewing.

I cut a piece of card to 2.5 x 3.5 then covered with coloured paper from the Peter Rabbit collection, i cut that to the same size and used a wet glue to attach to my piece of card. The four corner pieces were scraps that was left from a card kit i had from Hunkydorey and attached with wet glue again, using wet glue gives you a few moments to place exactly where you want it as it does not bond instantly.

The image is from the Peter Rabbit collection also. Popped the die cut pieces out, moulded them in the palm off my hand to give the pieces some shape, decoupaged the image using blobs of silicone glue this gave height and helps to give dimension to the image when i attached to the ATC, then added gem stones which i had in my crafty stash.

Would love to see your comments whether they are good, bad or constructive as they can all help to improve my work. Thank you in advance.

Happy Crafting

Wedding Card

This is from the old version of Wndows To The Heart by Hunkydory, this is the link if you wish to visit.

http://www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk/

It came pre scored so i only had to fold the pre scored card and burnish using a bone folder tool. I chose this image and added glitter that was in my stash. the accitate which has the sentiment on was added to the side panels, a wet glue was used to position the panels together this gave me movement to get the panels central. Attached the beautiful image to the middle of the card using double sided tape.

The flowers were bought from a well known cheap shop, i arranged them down the side of the inside back panel using pinflair glue gel as it is a good glue to hold the weight of the flowers, then added some pink ribbon to the bottom of the arrangement.

Would love to read your comments and don't mind constructive criticism either as its all a learning curve.

Happy Crafting x

On Your Special Day

First of all would like to give my followers an apology as i have not been around for a long time.

This is a card i made for someone in a group i am in called, A Crafters Heaven, this is the link if you wish to visit.

http://community.ebay.co.uk/forum/Crafters-Heaven/Welcome-Page/1900001141

I cut the heart shape and the sentiment using the Mini Cricut basic shapes which come pre loaded with the machine. I used mat mirri card 250gsm, and scored down the middle, folded in half and this gave me the shape.

For the embelishment's i used feathers, two little rosebuds with leaves from my stash and a flower made out organza ribbon, all were attached using pinflair glue gel, then added pastel pink gems also from my crafty stash. I cut out two butterflies from some paper that i had and used one on the front of card the other was for the inside to embelish the insert, used pinflair crafting glaze, this gave a nice glossy finish to them, moulded them into shape to give them some dimension and again attached using pinflair glue gel.

Would like to thank you for having a lookie and your comments good, bad or constructive would be most welcome.

Best Wishes On You Birthday

This is a card made from Peter Rabbit collection brought to us by

 www.craftercompanion.co.uk 

I used a pre scored round scalloped edge card blank, 350gsm from Kanban then using a circle compass i cut background paper into a circle. Using Tim Holtz distress inks i blended 2 colours onto the card, background paper and topper using my blending tool to give it that distressed look. I decoupaged the topper image (frog reading paper) moulded it by hand to give dimension, using pinflair glue gel to attach. The topper was attached with foam pads just to raise it slightly.

For the sentiment i used a die cut image from same collection and distressed that as well, used foam pads to give a bit off dimension to my sentiment then i stamped the distress ink onto craft sheet spritz the ink then mopped it up by using textured ribbon. Faux gems were added for a bit off interest and it helps to balance it all out.

I hope you like and please if you make a comment sugestions on how i can improve on my design would be appreciated.

ATC's Theme Faeries

Paintbox Poppets Faeries ATC,s are for a swap in

 

http://www.dawnscraftycards.net/index.html

These little Poppets are from

http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/ 

and the images are the artwork off Christine Haworth.

.

Cut 2 pieces of plain white card 2.5 x 3.5 . I used pro markers to colour card (fuchsia pink and rose pink ) making sure the edges are darker than the middle section, then with a glitter gel pen draw around the inside of the card to form a frame leaving a margin around all four edges.

Decoupaged and shaped each of the Poppet Faeries to give dimention to the images use pinflair glue gel, add ultra fine flower soft to highlight area's add pinflair craft glaze to wings and the flowers, use sequins as brads and attach with pinflair glue gel i finished off with a pink bow on one of them.

I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as i had making them. Feel free to leave a comment good, bad and anything i could have done to improve upon it.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look.

ATC's Theme Love

These ATC's were made for a swap on http://www.dawnscraftycards.net/index.html

I am going to show this on  http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.co.uk/

Scrap card cut to 2.5cm x 3.5cm. Used two flower panels ( came free in a magazine ) and added fine glitter to the images using sakura pin point quickie glue pen i framed these images using peel off's.

Using super sticky tape ( red ) i attached some white lace at the top and bottom off image with the straight edge underneath, this gave a nice effect, attached these to the ATC's using same tape, foam pads were used to level the middle off the image as it was lower because of the lace.

I added pink ( warm colour )  ribbon using thin fingerlift tape, added pink plastic gems to the ribbon and corners off the pink image. For the blue ( cool colour ) i attached ribbon the same way,  purple ( complimentary colour ) ranger stickles was used to embelish blue one in the same way ( leave to dry ), then added Love sentiment.

Comments appreciated and thank you for taking the time to have a look.
