Dylusions Card

Welcome to a new Thursday Inspiration from Shanna!

I wanted to play with some of the new Dylusions Sprays that are in the store.

I created a video of the process and would love for you to stop by and watch if you like. 

I love the brightness of the new Abandoned Coral Distress Ink!

It contrasts so well with these Dylusions Sprays!

Dylusions Ink Spray - Lemon Zest and Vibrant Turquoise

Anything Goes Challenge + DESIGN TEAM CALL

Hi Stampers!

Today we start our FAVORITE Loves Rubberstamps Challenge.... Anything Goes! We are also having a Loves Rubberstamps Design team call. You can see all the details and also how to apply in this by clicking here to go to the blog post.

Here is my project for the challenge...

I created the background using Tim Holtz Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, and Salty Ocean. I then used some Ranger Texture paste and a Hero Arts Stencil called Stars Pattern and created the raised stairs. This setncil also has some tiny dots mixed in with the star shapes too. After that dried I mixed some water and Perfect Pearls on my craft sheet and then splattered it using a paint brush onto the background.

I had been itching to use this cute Groovin' image from the Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Dollhouse Collection and I thought she would look cute against this background since she has little stars in her eyelids :) I just love her she is so fun! I colored her with copics, fussy cut her and popped her up on dimensionals.

The sentiments on my card are from the Avery Elle Stamp set called Written In The Stars. This will be listed in our store soon ... I am currently working on listing the Avery Elle line of stamps and dies. I used some kool tak clear foam under the gems to attach my vellum piece.

Here is a look at how I did the inside of the card using another sentiment from the Avery Elle set...

Be sure to keep checking our new items section in the store... I will be adding the perfect pearls, the hero arts stencil, texture paste and loads more very soon!

Hope to see you play along in our challenge and try out for our Design Team as well!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Bloom Girl Art Journal Page by Shanna

Welcome to a new inspirational Thursday from yours truly (Shanna)!!! 

I have been wanting to play more with my Bloom Girls and stencils and just really get back into playing with my art journal and mixed media goodies!

So here for you is a fun art journal page YAY! I even got to use my new Tim Holtz stickers. 

I have a video that I have of making this page, but have yet to load and edit it. Bare with me I will get it up shortly! 

I used modeling paste with a black gelato to create the black paste I used with the stencil. I then colored the image with my watercolor pencils and gelatos. I used gelato around the image only after using some matte gel medium with a stencil to add to the background. 

Here you can see the stencil giving texture combined with the gelato and some Twinkling H20 paint. 

Lastly I wanted to add a flower here!! It started out white/cream. I went over it with a gelato, buffing it with my finger and then gave it a spritz of Gold Foil Prima Bloom Spray. 

So I do hope you enjoyed this lovely art journal page. I will have a video up on my youtube this week. 

Items Used:

Prima Stencil - Gardenia

Faber Castell - Black Gelato, Red Gelato, Metallic Melon, and Mix and Match Designing with Gelato Kit

Faber Castell Gesso 

Beautiful Prima Clutch

Shanna here with a  fun new creation. It is rather small but was lots of fun.

First I stamped the image. Then I got out my bloom spray and gave a little squeeze for the splatter look. Then I embellished with flowers, leaves, and bling!

I used a stencil to add the beautiful with a Faber-Castell Pitt Pen.

Here is a close up of the flowers and bling. 

Here is the back with just a little splatter. I wasn't sure if I should add something on the back but I think the splatter really makes it awesome. 

Hope you are inspired to play and get some stamping done.

WOW Wednesday - Featuring Marcy

Good Morning Stampers!

I feel like I haven't wrote a "real" blog post in a long time! I haven't had as much crafty time...well that is a total understatement...I have had NO crafty time since the beginning of April with all the personal things we went through and trying to keep things together and running. Now that things are more back to normal and I can try and get on a routine I am hoping to remedy my no crafting slump this week so wish me luck! LOL!

One thing that I thought would be fun to do is have a "WOW WEDNESDAY" each week. Our design team is so phenomenally talented and I am always so grateful for all the ladies on our team and the ones that have been with us and moved on, I just can't even tell you. These ladies put in a lot of hard work and I could literally spend hours just going back through all of the team designs and oooohing and ahhhhing - LOL! Sooooo I thought that if I loved seeing the "Blasts from the Pasts" from our Design team ladies, then you might as well!

Each Wednesday I am going to share a few favorite projects that one of our design team ladies have created with you. It could be from one of our current design team members or a past member, might be one project or a few...but they will always blow your socks off :)  I think it will be a fun feature and I hope you all enjoy seeing these past stunners as well!

Today's projects were all designed by the mega talented Marcy Dangcil. I call Marcy our Queen of Girlie Projects because she always does the most beautiful projects filled with lots of bling, pearls, lace, flowers, and all those pretty things us girls love :) I have recently added the newest release from the Prima Mixed Media Doll Collection by Julie Nutting to the store and so I thought it would be fun to check out some of the gorgeous tags and mixed media canvas projects that Marcy created using these fun Prima Doll Stamps!

This gorgeous tag was created for our Anything Goes Challenge #102 using the Prima Doll With Strapless Dress stamp.

This beautiful tag was created using the Doll With Ruffle Dress stamp for our Anything Goes Challenge #64. I LOVE how Marcy added the little rose trim to the dress and one for her hair!

How gorgeous and girly is this tag?!?!? I love the lace trim and flower bead trim on the dress, the lace bow, all the gorgeous flowers....everything - LOL! This is the Riley Doll stamp and Marcy also used the Wings stamp set that is created to use with these dolls as well. Marcy created this gorgeous tag for our Anything Goes Challenge #81. She has some close up pictures on her blog post here if you want to check those out!

I really love the colors in this tag and her paper pieced dress is so pretty! This gorgeous tag was created using the Doll With Peasant Dress stamp for our Anything Goes Challenge #72!

And.... last but not least.... this breath taking Mixed Media Canvas using the Prima Doll With Swing Dress!

Wouldn't this look amazing hanging on your wall or displayed on a shelf? I LOVE the sequin trim dress - how GENIUS! Such a stunning project!

I hope you enjoyed checking out Marcy's stunning Prima Doll projects with me today and i hope you were WOW'ed! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Prima Tag

Welcome to a new Thursday of inspiration. I decided to create a tag this time around using a fun new Prima stamp in the store.

First I covered the tag with different sprays.

Then I stamped the image and added some splatters.

I added some Chit Chat stickers with gel medium and used my PITT Pen to add shadow around the words. 

I also used a white gel pen to add highlights everywhere! 

This was such a quick tag I threw together so I hope you enjoyed it and try a Bloom Girl Tag yourself. Be sure to check out the rest of the Prima stamps in the store here!

This is GORGEOUS!! Marcy created this beautiful Mixed Media style tag! The textures, colors and all those gorgeous accents are just awesome! I haven't delved into mixed media yet, but it always fascinates me. It also intimidates me a little too because of all the different layers and textures and things you can do but it does look so fun! I do plan on getting mixed media supplies and products in the store too in the very near future :)  

I hope you enjoyed today's blast of inspiration! I apologize again for the late posting! I also apologize that I couldn't do the links. Blogger does not like the internet explorer browser on this computer and keeps replacing my words with the URL link instead of having it behind the scenes! I wish blogger would get their issues fixed one of these days :)  

Have a wonderful day and be sure to check back early this afternoon for our inspirational Monday project from Olivia! Her projects are always adorable too so you don't wanna miss it :)  

Happy Stampin! Laura!
