Thinking of you card - Santoro Gorjuss Stamp Ladybird

Yay it's Thursday!!! For most it's just the day before Friday, but for me it IS my Friday!!! This has been a long work week, so I'm glad to see it come to an end. Okay now onto this Thinking of You card I created.

I used my Santoro Gorjuss Stamp - Ladybird. I stamped her onto white cardstock and then colored her in with colored pencils. I also used a black gel pen for the dots on her dress and her shoes. After I completed her coloring I hand cut her out (razor blade). I also decided to cut out the outer layer of her dress and used a glitter yellow cardstock in its place. I secured it together with double sided tape. The background papers are both from a pad of scrapbook paper from Michaels. I've had it so long, and have used it so much, that I no longer have the cover, so I can't tell you which pad it came from. One I cut the full size of the card, and the second I just did a wide strip. I then added a medium width silk ribbon. It's been in a drawer for a long time, so it was kind of wrinkled. I should have ironed it out, but honestly, I was lazy and didn't want to. :-) The sentiment is a pretty stamp that I lucked out and found at the Thrift store. Hard to believe some people donate their art and crafting supplies!! Yay me!!! :-) I attached everything other than the girl together with double sided tape, to attach Ladybird to the card I used foam tape. I love foam tape, and the dimension it gives.

~Happy Crafting~

Mad Hatter Spray Paint Art

This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I add...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Card #2

This was another digital stamp find on Pinterest (that site is addicting...) I colored it in with gel pens, I used a metallic silver for the table and chairs. I cut it out by hand, and cut a piece of pink cardstock a little bit larger to act as a frame. The background paper and the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun saying were all part of the same cardstock book from Michaels. I secured everything together with double sided tape, and wrapped a thin piece of Satin Ribbon around it, tying it into a bow, and securing it with tape as well. I think hot glue would have worked better for this, but I hate using it, because I always end up with burnt fingers... :-/ ~Chantel

Alice in Wonderland-Stencil Art

I created this piece to go along with the one I did of the Mad Hatter. It is also made out of a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I also purchased this piece of wood at the same time as the one for the Mad Hatter. It was one piece that I had them cut for me. I then took it home and spray painted the whole thing with two coats of black spray paint. This design was also found on the web. I put the design into my silhouette program, traced it and cut it out of Oramask 813 Stencil Film I purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I then weeded it out, removing all the negative pieces. I added my transfer tape, and removed the backing. I then put the design onto the painted piece of wood and removed the transfer tape, leaving the stencil secured to the wood. This time I decided to paint the design with acrylic paints, GLITTER acrylic paints!!! <3 GLITTER!!!! You can't really tell from the photo, but in person it shines like a diamond. :-) I sponge ...
