XOXO

 

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creations for this month's challenge over at Arty Divas The theme is as always ATG. 

I have created these teeny retro mini Valentine cards, which measure 3inch x 4inch. Super cute! 

Our sponsor is Lilli Rain Designs and there is a fabulous prize for the winner of the challenge! The little retro Valentine collage sheet. 

To create my card, I first started with blank Kraft cardstock which I scored myself. These wonderful papers are from:

Nostalgie Graphikland

My porch prints

Music sheet is from my own stash 

I edged the paper with vintage photo distress ink, then adhered them with double sided tape. Next, I adhered this sweet bingo card and then I adhered this darling retro valentine image from the collage sheet above from Lilli Rain Designs.

I repeated the same technique for this card also. 

Finally, I printed out these words and adhered them on to my card. 

I really hope that I have inspired you to create your own retro cards and I also hope that you will join us over at Arty Divas!

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

Spooky altered tags- Arty Divas Challenge

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for Arty Divas. There's a new challenge over on their blog; we'd love for you to join in and can't wait to see your lovely creations! For my DT creation, I have designed two spooky altered tags, using these fabulous digi stamps from Rick St Dennis. I just adore them! Please carry on reading to see how I created them..

For my first tag, I have used Drusilla- The Covent Garden Ghost digital stamp. I have also used these spookylicious papers from the Haunted House digital paper set. The Black spiders web border is an old Martha Stewart border punch that I have had for a few years now in my collection. 

Here I have used some cheese cloth, which I died using Black soot Distress ink mixed with water. I then dried it with my heat tool. Next, I adhered it to my tag using some mini staples. Finally, I printed out a Halloween sentiment and adhered that on to the bottom of my tag.

I have created this tag using the same products. The digi stamp that I have used in the Mad Hare which is also from Rick St Dennis. Hope you like my tags! I have loved creating them! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you on the next post. Hugs, Zowie xx
