Tim Holtz Artist Trading Card

Hello my lovelies, hope you are well and staying safe? There's so much chaos and uncertainty in the world right now. Everybody is unnerved and a lot of people in the crafting community are showing camaraderie and sending out a positive message to carry on crafting, which I think is a great idea. 

Please though stay indoors if you can and take care of yourselves and your families. 

Arty Divas  is hosting their brand new challenge, which starts today. The theme is ATG and you can create anything you wish, a card, tag, an ATC, mixed media project etc! The Design Team look forward to seeing your lovely creations! 

For my DT creation I have made a friendship ATC. My mojo has been missing lately, so a small project is just what I needed to get back into the swing of things! 

I have created a collage background using various torn pieces of paper and ephemera. Everything has been distressed with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 
Finally, I adhered these wonderful Tim Holtz paper dolls, I just love them! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments! 
Stay safe. 

I would like to enter my creation into the following challenges:

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! There's a brand new challenge over at Artsystamper the theme is 'lots of layers'! and the winner will receive a wonderful prize from the Artsystamper shop. 

For my DT creation I have designed a vintage Nautical card using this delightful vintage photo and these beautiful papers. The wonderful Starfish paper is from the Seaside wreath digital stamp and paper collection from Artsystamper and the distress grey paper is from Manu Design Studio. Although they are both winter kits, I have loved using them to create a nautical theme card!

To create my card, I layered these beautiful papers from the kit on to the front of a pre-scored Kraft card, the edges of the paper have been distressed with Black soot Distress ink. 

Finally I added these lovely pre-coloured Starfish stamps from the Seaside Wreath kit and printed out a sentiment. 

I hope that you will join in with the challenge over at Artsystamper the DT would love to see your wonderful creations! You can create anything, a card, tag, layout etc and you are not required to use an Artsystamper image, however, if you do you will gain an extra entry into the draw! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next one!

Spring dreams

Hello lovelies, hope you are well and having a lovely weekend! Today I am sharing some more DT creations that I have designed for the 'Once upon a Springtime' challenge over at Gecko Galz

To create my first card, I have used this darling vintage photo and beautiful papers. I have also created a flower collage using cheesecloth, a vibrant yellow rose and soft blue cherry blossoms. 

The sweet girl image is from the Little Miss colorful collage sheet. Background paper is from the My Wedding paper collection and the beautiful spring paper is from the Dreams of Spring mini paper pack.

These wonderful papers are from the Yesterday paper collection from Lemoncraft. The sweet vintage girl photo is also from the Little Miss colorful collage sheet. 

To complete my card, I have created another flower collage using pink and white roses and white pearl stamens. Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate your visit!

A vintage journal

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! today I am sharing some pages from my vintage journal that I created a short while back. I have seen so many amazing journals online, that I was inspired to create my own! 

I found this lovely vegan leather mini journal and thought it was the perfect size to work with! 

I found it quite difficult to break my first page, but once I surrounded myself with some of my vintage goodies, I found it went smoothly! I have had these Tim Holtz paper dolls laying around in my stash for some time now, so I had to break the package open and use them on my pages! 

I love creating in my journal and I wish that I had started much sooner! Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit! 

I'd like to enter my creation into the following challenges:

Moving Along With The Times- #116 anything but a card

International Art & Soul - #78 use a photo

The Corrosive challenge #3

Sweet Stampin' - Wonderful women

Top of the Mornin'

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! There's a brand new challenge over at Artsystamper the theme is 'Green green, it's green they say'! and the winner will receive a wonderful prize from the Artsystamper shop. 

For my DT creation I wanted to design a card for St Patrick's day. Here I have used the wonderful Lucky Oxalis digital stamp and paper kit, (which is half price through St Patrick's day.) 

To create my card, I layered these beautiful papers from the kit on to the front of a pre-scored Kraft card, the edges of the paper have been distressed with Walnut Stain Distress ink. 

Next, I tore a sheet of paper from my vintage French dictionary. I like to collect old books from Thrift stores and I love adding vintage paper into my artwork!  

I also adhered this darling St Patrick's day vintage image which I found on Pinterest. 

Finally I added these lovely pre-coloured stamps from the kit and printed out a sentiment. 

I hope that you will join in with the challenge over at Artsystamper the DT would love to see your wonderful creations! You can create anything, a card, tag, layout etc and you are not required to use an Artsystamper image, however, if you do you will gain an extra entry into the draw!
