Paperplay - Anything but a card

So the challenge this week on Paperplay is "Anything but a card!"

We are very kindly sponsored by La La Land.  Check out all the details and DT creations here.

The flower I made uses the Tattered Florals die by Tim Holtz.  I used an old French - English Dictionary for the petals.  I added some Papermania coloured gems in the centre.  I glued it together using glossy accents.  I needed the flower to cover a sticker on the packaging I was recycling!

Covered the other packaging sticker with Fancy Pants Designs - "Delight" collection patterned paper which I stamped on with a Waltzingmouse Stamps "say it loud" set.

 

 Close up of the packaging.

Fun! Tim Holtz Flower using an old dictionary - gems in the flower centre.

Mini Album close ups.

Made a mini meander album to co-ordinate.  The tutorial to make this little creation is on the SRM blog here.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you have a great weekend.

I knew I had to take part in this fun Copy and Share Everything Competition on Waltzingmouse Stamps as soon as I read about it during the last SOAP day last week.  This set - Free Spirit Boy is one of my faves and has proven to be my "go to" set whenever I need a manly card!.

I adored what Kate Whelan made here (loved how clean and graphic the design was) and while I didn't create my own pp - I used the ideas to create the card above.

Good Luck - Day One

Supplies:  WMS Free Spirit Boy, WMS Free Spirit Sentiments, Glossy Accents, 

PTI Dark Chocolate ink, PTI Dark Chocolate cardstock, Distress inks - 

tea dye and walnut stain, blending tool, glossy accents and water.

I had fun creating these "boy" Good Luck Cards.  This week the State Exams start for Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate students and I seem to have lots of recipients on my list this year.

I used this fun set from Waltzingmouse stamps - Free Spirit Boy and Free Spirit Sentiments to create these two cards. 

I added glossy accents to the skater on the top card and to some of the circles/dots in the graphic design.  Then I added some drops of water on top of the inked image and the water erased the ink directly under it.  I then used a rag to lift the remaining water so the paper wouldn't warp.  It has a "bleaching" effect - which I like.

Supplies:  WMS Free Spirit Boy, WMS Free Spirit Sentiments, Glossy Accents, 

PTI Dark Chocolate ink, PTI Dark Chocolate cardstock, Distress inks - tea dye 

and walnut stain, blending tool, glossy accents and water.

Thanks for peeking - hope you will enjoy my three days of "Good Lucks!"  - Be sure to pop back tomorrow for some more Good Luck Cards.
