Glitter Stories

 Good morning

Today I would like to share with you a paper bag book I made from a subscription kit from Cal Summers. I love these kits and it gives my brain a rest, and allows me to craft along and not worry that it may not turn out. I always find the when you start with 6 paper bags and some 12x12 papers you can end up with something wonderful like this. All the tags in the book were cut from one of the 12x12 pages. 

I hope you like this book. Its a little different to my card making.

Thank you for stopping by. 

I appreciate any comments you have on my creations.

Firework Burst.

Good morning. 

Here is another of my Art Journal pages, using a stencil called Firework Burst.

To make this page, I placed the stencil down onto my page.

I then sprinkled various pixie powders onto the stencil.

I then sprayed water over the top.

I then flipped the stencil over to take a ‘print’ from the stencil. 

This is the last ‘print’ I took from cleaning the stencil.

I love the way the colours change and become more muted the more prints I do. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Orange Floral

 Good morning. 

Today I would like to share this very vivid orange floral card.

This is a 7x5” scalloped card base.

The image is ‘Scented Blooms’ by Jane Gill for Woodware.

I stamped this onto white stamping card.

This was coloured using Cosmic Shimmer, shimmer shakers.

I put a little of the shimmer shaker onto my mat and added water to make a paint.

I used it quite thickly but you can water it down to make it paler. 

I then die cut the image and the gold mirri base with Creative Expressions Double Pierced Rectangles.

Playing again.

Good morning.

 Want to share with you some more pictures from my time playing with inks and sprays.

For this I placed the stencil onto the page, 

then I sprinkled Emerald pixie powders around the outer edge of the heart.

I then used Firework burst pixie powder on the rest of the stencil.

When I then sprayed with water this is the result. 

 I then sprayed the stencil again and turned it upside down onto a black page.

It amazes me that the green shows up as blue on this page, 

Also not many of the colours from the firework powder doesn’t show on black.

These are ready for me to use as a background for another project.

Thank you for stopping by.

Sunflowers.

 Good morning.

Back to a card for today’s post. 

This is a 7x5” scalloped card blank.

For this card all the layers were die cut with Creative Expressions Double Pierced Rectangles. 

The background is white card which was coloured with 

blue, pink and yellow ink using the shaving foam technique.

The image is from Lili of the Valley.

It was coloured in with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers. 

All ready for a sentiment, or just as is to make someone smile.

Something New

 Good morning

At the weekend I went into my craft room to make my sons birthday card. I couldn’t decide where to start, so I decided to catalogue my spray inks/mists. I had bought some 4x4” books from Pink Pig for just this project. This lead to me getting some stencils out, and then pixie powders and shimmer shakers. 

As you can see, this shows the true colour I will get, as this is not always the same as on the bottle.

For this page, I laid the stencil onto the page.

Then I sprinkled pixie powders onto the page, through the stencil, trying to keep the colours separate.

Then I sprayed with water, to make the powders burst.

As there is some powders left on the stencil, I then turned this over onto a black page.

This gives a different effect.

I then respirated the stencil with water and took another ‘print’.

Well there is no point wasting all that lovely colour!

Lili of the Valley Fairy

 Good Morning,

This card is so cute, I coloured the fairy in with pale pink wings and a lovely purple dress.

The silver mirri card was die cut with the Creative Expressions Ornate pierced rectangle die.

This behind this is a piece of white card I had coloured using the shaving foam technique. 

The image was coloured in with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers.

This was then die cut using the smaller Ornate rectangle die.

Before taking the image out of the die, I inked the image with pink Distress Ink,

I love the way inking in the die give a lovely white edge.

Cat and Cake.

Good morning

I would like to share with you a cute cat card. This would be ideal for a birthday card, or just to say hello.

 

This is a 6x6” scalloped card. 

The image is James and Cake from Lili of the Valley.

This was coloured in with my Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers.

The background was made using assorted pixie powders then cut to size.

The silver mirri card was die cut with the ‘Swirly leaf’ die.

This card is already for a sentiment to go on.
