O' holy night

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage Christmas card and tag that I have created. I know that Christmas was two weeks ago, but I still feeling the Christmas joy!!

 

I designed my creations using this stunning angel  image from Mean Kitty and beautiful digital papers from Etsy.

I wanted to create a sumptuous rich colour scheme, so I have used these kits:

Vintage damask papers

Velvet texture papers

I have also added these gold foil overlays, a royal purple velvet poinsettia and a few golden bead stems.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Vintage Christmas cards!

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

Spirit & Soul

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! today I am sharing two cards that I have created using these beautiful angel junk journal images from print digital by Jen. 

 For both my cards, I have also used these wonderful distressed quilt papers from north skye digitals. I thought they complimented each other so well! The lovely gold hammered metal paper is from Conjurer of dreams. Finally, I added a vintage ticket and some word labels from Pixie dust files over on Etsy. 

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

Angels, in the early morning

may be seen the dews among,

stooping-plucking-smiling-flying-

do the buds to them belong?

Hi lovelies, today I am sharing some postcard art that I have created for Twitrartexhibit

This year they are raising proceeds for the Encephalitis society. Artists can donate their postcard art in their online and live auction. 

Please click on the link above to find out more information about their charity. 

As an artist, I am constantly learning new techniques and I get inspired by so many great artists that I have come to know through Facebook, Instagram and Blogger.

Suzy Quaife is one of those artists;  I find her work so amazing and inspiring.  For my postcard, I was inspired by Suzy to use classical art along with lots of different styles of paper, collaging bits and pieces until they complimented each other. I also love the combination of this vintage blue and cream colour pallet.  

There will be a list of the products that I used at the bottom of this page. Please scroll down to see them. 

Recipe of products used: 

Digital Angel painting

French receipts

Old sheet music

Book pages

Kraft cardstock

Word labels

Victorian Angels

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! 

Today I am sharing two artist trading cards that I have made, inspired by this Pink Mood Board that I designed myself. I love creating Mood boards! and I will try to incorporate this into my makes over the next few days. You are more than welcome to use this and I would love to see what you make! (please let me know in the comments below, so that I can visit your blog) and all I ask is, please give me a quick mention and a link back to my blog if you decide to use it for inspiration. 

To make my tag, I have used these gorgeous shabby chic papers from Lemoncraft 'Yesterday' paper collection and I have also used these delightful victorian Angel images.

I wanted to make something quick and easy, so this time I decided to make ATC's

 instead of larger tags. 

I cut two pieces of white card stock, measured at 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. I inked the edges of the card with Vintage Photo distress ink, then adhered the layers of paper onto the front of the card stock. 

( I previously distressed them using the edge of my scissors and the same Distress ink)

I have used the same technique on both ATC's. I used a Marianne Creatables Victorian Lamp post and Deer die from the Christmas village decoration set and I also adhered cheesecloth and sisal underneath. The star is an Xcut mini die, which I added Stardust Stickles to, to give them some extra Christmas sparkle! 

Finally I added Stardust Stickles to the Lamp post and Picket fence Distress paint 

to the deer and on certain places of the ATC. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate all your comments and will always reply to them! Have a great week! 

  Hugs, Zowie xx
