Creative Expressions

The weeks are flying by, I can't believe it's time for another Creative Expressions project but it is!!

So today I made 3 ATCs using canvas, acetate and the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Medalion set.

I first clear embossed the smaller images onto each of the cards, they are canvas ATC blanks. I then went over each one with TH distress inks and then with a darker shade around the edges. I then cut out the heat resistant acetate to fit around the ATCs making sure I cut them a bit larger so I could dome them. I stamped out the larger images onto each one with an embossing ink and then heated with a white embossing powder. I did the same for the sentiments which are from the Let it snow stamp plate. Then adhere each side to the back side of the ATC making sure you leave a dome effect in the middle. I really love the look of the medalions in white.
I was thinking that maybe you could make these as tree ornaments too. Just add a hole and some ribbon, you could even add a little glitter for the tree lights to dance off.

I''ll be bringing you more Creative Expressions projects next week.

Have a good weekend.

Deck the halls

Morning on a wet and wild morning!! Just took Milly out and nearly got blown away!!
Today I'd like to show you my Creative Expressions DT project for this week.

 

A bit of a different style from me but I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I kinda took the photo at an odd angle because I wanted to show the shimmer on the card. It is all one shade over the card!!

I took a piece of black textured card and versamarked it all over and then brushed over 2 colours of mica powders.  I then stamped out the beautiful snowflake bauble from the Heartfelt Ornamental Medallion stamp set randomly with versamark and then used white embossing powder. Because the versamark was still wet the powder sprinkled a bit but I think it looks ok as it looks like fine snow. Next I stamped out some of the more solid snowflake stamps onto black card with versamark and then used the white embossing powder. I cut around them and poked a small hole in the top of each of them. I then threaded through some twine and added a blue bow to each. I then just hung them from the top of the card. The sentiment is from the Let it snow stamp set and I've just done the same , stamped onto black card and embossed with white embossing powder.

Don't forget to check out the other DT girls projects, all stunning!! I'll be showing you more from Creative Expressions next week.

Creative Expressions monthly DT project

Another Friday comes along and I can't believe this time last week I was on the train to SECC. It's gone so quick!!

This month the Creative Expressions DT were lucky enough to receive 2 stamp sets to play with, The Heartfelt Ornament Medallion set and The Let it Snow set.
I've used a bit of both this week.

So I cut a tag on my Cameo with the Inkessentials speciality stamping paper. I then used Tim Holtz distress inks to colour the blank tag, just rubbing them over with a blending tool. You can't really see in the pic but I then inked up one of the ornaments from the Heartfelt ornament medallion set with versamark and stamped randomly over the tag adding clear embossing powder. I love the flourish on Sam Poole's Art ladies , so I stamped that in black again randomly.
The reindeer and sentiment from the Let it snow set were stamped onto an old book page with versamark and white embossing powder. I tore around the images and added some gold pen around the outlines. I adhered them with 3D pads. To outline the actual tag I used versamark and a detail gold embossing powder. I then added a jingle bell, which was silver so I used the detail gold embossing powder to cover it. A ribbon was added and voila that's it!!

Hope you like my tag, I'll be back next week with my next Creative Expressions DT project.
