Exploration!

 




Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some grungy nautical design team cards that I have created for conjurer of dreams. Their August challenge is open and Kim and the DT's would really like to see your lovely creations!






For my first card, I wanted to create a steampunk theme; so here I have used this wonderful port hole image from CoD. I have also used these fabulous hammered metal background papers on all of my cards. I have also used these rusty tattered canvas papers from Cheryl Francis art. I have also used some rusty hinges and textured stamps in black ink.  




To my cards I have added these wonderful sea life images that I found on Pinterest and Pixabay.




For this card I have used another port hole image and these rust texture papers. I have also added some fishing net embellishment to complete my card.








For these cards, I have used some more porthole images and Hammered metal papers. These wonderful pirate ship images are also from CoD.
I have also used these fabulous two tone leather papers from Cfa.



I really hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage/ grungy porthole cards! Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

The Magician~ sees all, knows all!







Hello lovelies, hope you are well! This evening I am sharing some vintage magical/ mystical cards that I have created. 









For my first card, I have used this stunning magician image from Mean Kitty's Kanvas over on Facebook. These beautiful papers are from the vintage scrapbook paper kit from Manu design studios and distressed black textures from artistic way Co over on Etsy. I have also used black cardstock for my card base. 






For my second card, I have used another beautiful image from mean Kitty's kanvas. The papers I have used are the distressed black textures and family history scrapbook kits. 

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own magical theme cards! 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!
