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!

Time for Tea!

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

For my DT creation I have designed some 'Alice in Wonderland' Artist trading cards, using the beautiful Morning Glories and Lily's Tea Party digital stamp sets from Artsystamper.

I have used the wonderful Denim and Diamonds paper set from Raspberry Road Designs and these delightful Alice in Wonderland images that I found on Pinterest. 

My grown up daughter loves 'Alice in Wonderland' and her name is also Lilli, so this theme was perfect and such a joy to create for!  

I have created a mixed media background using a Tim Holtz diamond layering stencil and texture paste. Once the paste was dry, I then coloured the diamonds with Tumbled Glass Distress crayon; it's such a beautiful colour and matches perfectly with the background paper. 

Next I adhered the 'Mad Hatter' image and the tea cup stamp, which I coloured with Prisma colour pencils. Over the top of that, I adhered the pre-coloured morning glories. 

For this ATC I used the same technique, along with the Alice image. 

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

Shabby Chic thank you card

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for Artsystamper. There is a brand new challenge over on their blog. 

This weeks theme is 'Thank you', so I have created a shabby chic thank you card. I just love anything vintage and shabby chic; so I wanted to design a dreamy, shabby, romantic theme for my card! 

Here I have used Artsystamper's stunning 'Mable's Rose' digital stamp which I coloured with Faber Castel pencils. I have also used some shabby pink paper and a music sheet from my own stash.

I have also used some kraft card along with an Xcut scalloped border punch.{I must say that this has to be my favourite border punch in my collection, it's so pretty!}

Once I had adhered all layers of card and paper to a blank pre-scored Kraft card with score tape, I then took a sponge and dabbed white acrylic paint over the card, making sure to add more to the scalloped border. 

Finally, I adhered the rose stamp with Arlene's wet glue. I have also dabbed white acrylic paint over the rose to blend everything together. Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post!
Hugs, Zowie xx

Winter Wishes- Artsystamper DT creations

Hello lovelies, Happy New Year, I hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creations for Artsystamper. There's a brand new challenge over on their blog and the winner will receive a fabulous prize from the Artsystamper shop.

I have created three designs using the Wintry paper pack and beautiful Snow Birds  digital stamp set, I just adore these darling birds! 

For my first two creations, I have made some faux glassine bags from tracing paper {so easy!} I may do a future tutorial on how I made these! 

Here I have used a vintage Bingo card and a torn page from a vintage French dictionary that I purchased from a thrift store! Next, I adhered this beautiful pre-coloured Chickadee from the stamp set. 

For this faux glassine bag, I have created it as the one above, but have used the wonderful Blue Jay stamp from the stamp set. 

For this card, I have used the Chickadee stamp once more; I JUST love him! I printed this winter scene photo which was free from Pixabay. and designed the whole card around it! I have also used the White pine cone paper from the paper set and a strip of corrugated card that I painted with White acrylic paint to compliment the photograph. 

Here I have adhered some snowflake dies that have been sprinkled with Deco Art Glamour dust. They are SO sparkly! I also printed out the words 'Winter Wonderland'.

Finally, I adhered two Christmas tree dies from white and cream cardstock. I ran them through an embossing folder to give them some more detail. I have also added 3D snow to the tips of the branches. To Finish my card I have adhered the Chickadee stamp on top of the trees. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit! Hugs, Zowie xx
