Victorian theme Artist Trading Cards

Hello lovely friends, 

hope you are well!

Thanks for stopping by once more to take a look at my blog,

it is very much appreciated.

I made these Victorian ATC's for a swap I did recently 

with a lovely friend over on Instagram. 

I love the movie Moulin Rouge, it is one of my all time favourites,

so I was inspired to use the quote 'Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love'.

The products I have used to create these Artist Trading Cards are:

Paper: * Craft & You rose garden

* Own paper stash

* Victorian images 

     * Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink

* Butterfly embellishments

* Typewriter key embellishments 

I would like to enter the following challenge:

More mixed media challenge - anything goes optional Blue

See you on the next post.

Vintage Valentines

Hello lovely friends,

hope you are well?

Today I'm sharing with you a Vintage Valentines tag that I have made.

I just love the idea of an old-time romance and this vintage photo

was perfect to use on my tag!

I am a self-confessed hopeless romantic at heart and I love poetry, 

so I have used one of my favourite quotes by Rumi.

The products used to make this tag are:

* Plain white cardstock 

* Paper: Craft sensations Vintage sepia

Craft sensations World travels 

Dovecraft Sweet Paris 

* Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink 

* Music note tissue paper 

* Butterfly embellishment 

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs

Collect beautiful moments

Hi friends,

hope you are well!

Here is a vintage tag that I have made for a very sweet friend 

that I met on Instagram. She loves to craft as well,

so we both decided to do an Artist Trading Card swap.

Here are the ATC's that I sent to my new crafty friend 

I made the vintage tag just as a little thank you  

for all of the beautiful creations that she had made for me. 

I love this vintage image so much, so I altered 

a notebook too in a similar design! 

The papers I used on the tag are the same as the notebook, 

you can find the details on how I made this here:

see you on the next one!

Be mine Valentine!

Hello again lovely friends,

hope you are well!

Today I am sharing with you a vintage Valentines tag that I have made.

I wanted to create something really dreamy, romantic and very shabby chic!

I have used this sweet Cupid image as a focal point.

Here I have used some gorgeous mulberry roses in tones of pale pink

and white. Next, I adhered some champagne pearl garland trim  

around the flowers using Ranger Glossy accents. 

The beautiful papers that I have used to create this tag are,

Lemoncraft House of roses

and

Digital prints design

Shabby altered notebook

Hi lovely friends,

hope you are well! 

Thanks once again for stopping by.

I wanted to make something a bit different today, so have 

altered this notebook and turned it shabby style! 

I made this using just a plain old notebook that I 

purchased from a local shop in my home town.

It was pretty boring to begin with, so out came all of my 

glorious papers and embellishments and away to work I went! 

Here I have used a beautiful vintage photo of this darling girl, 

which I found for free on Pinterest. I am a teeny bit obsessed with

Pinterest, there are so many wonderful things on there to use in 

your crafts and also some wonderful inspiration if ever your 

Mojo happens to go missing, as mine regularly does!!

Here I have created a mulberry flower collage using 

pale pink Cherry Blossoms and pale pink open roses. 

I have also used a variety of leaf dies and glitter white stamens.

Here I have covered a pale pink fussy cut butterfly entirely 

with clear glitter glass, I love the effect it gives.

The digital papers I have used for this notebook are some that I purchased from 

two Etsy stores called:

Romantic Letters

and

Digital prints design

They have some beautiful paper collections.

I have never used digital paper before and must say that I will 

definitely be purchasing more as the quality and designs are fabulous!

Lastly, I adhered a silver metal filigree decorative corner embellishment,

more cherry blossom and open roses to the right side of the 

notebook and printed out the words:

'Memories are special moments that tell our story'

I think this quote fits perfectly, as I am going to use this 

notebook as a journal to record my special memories of 2018.

See you on the next post,

Hugs

Winter Wishes

Hello lovely friends,
hope you are well!

Today I am sharing with you an altered 
shabby tag that I have made for my 
first ever challenge over on my other blog 

Crafts Dreamy

I wanted to start a challenge blog as I love art  
so very much and believe that crafting is for everyone.

Crafting is more than just a hobby for me, as it originally
started out, but now it has become something much more.
A way of life, something to be proud of and
I have made some of the most nicest friends; old and new 
through a mutual love of crafts.

Hence, why I have decided to go for my dream and create a challenge blog.
I want people to come together who enjoy arts and crafts and have
lots of fun (a new friend, described the whole reason for crafting as being fun!)

Here is Januarys Mood board that I created for the 
first ever challenge that goes live today!

I love Stags and so I wanted to incorporate them into my design.

Thanks for stopping by,

I would LOVE for you to join in with this months challenge,

which is anything goes... a card, tag, layout etc

Please stop by and share your amazing creations with us.

The winner will receive a beautiful Valentines digi collage sheet

from our sponsor.

Digital Heaven

'can't wait to see your designs!
