Wish...

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  It has been a couple of days since I posted, but feels like forever - I have been battling the 'lurgies' that are going around, but hopefully have turned a corner for the better and have also been quietly working away on publications - which is always good - right?! Wink: Wink!

What are you wishing for?  I love this sentiment - one simple word and it says so much...I have used one of the  Spellbinders  Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low to create a pretty busy very easy card to share with you today.

I have cut/embossed the Shapeabilities Rosy Summer Flowers Etched Dies Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low only using black card stock. Cut/emboss the Backer using white card stock. 

Sponge the Backer using Electric Pink, Electric Yellow and Bamboo Leaves, there is no need to be exact with the placement of the colours. Glue the Rosy Summer Flowers to the backer using liquid glue.

Sponge some Yellow paint onto a pre-cut card base using a Sponge Dauber, followed by small amounts of white paint - allow it to dry. Randomly spritz using blue paint or ink. Pop up the layered Rosy Summer Flowers onto the centre of the card front using 3D Foam Squares. 

Adhere a computer generated sentiment above the to the left of the Rosy Summer Flowers - wha-la - and there you have it - it is really that quick and easy!!

Butterfly Wishes

Hello Blog Friends, today's card was inspired when I popped over to comment on my friend Maxine's Blog and I saw her participating in this Blog Hop  - and to quote Maxine
'The inspiration for this card has come from several sources, not the least is Becca's  Hop To Stop. Becca is passionate about preventing, and making people aware of, Domestic Violence, and has created this hop to raise awareness.

To quote Becca, and these statistics are not confined to any one country...

1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes. 

Let that sink in - 33% of all the women you meet. 

And women aren't the only people who are affected! Women, men, transgender - gender doesn't matter. Domestic violence is something that exists regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, religion, education level, etc.

My card has been created using some paper from my Stash - loving the blues, greens and purples on this retro paper,  I have used a Prima Stencil and DecoArt Texture Paste for the raised butterflies.  Once dry they have been coloured using Imagine Crafts ‘featuring’ Tsukineko  Radiant Neon's Ink in Electric Yellow.  Want2Scrap bling has been added to the center of each butterfly.

The sentiment has been framed using the Stately Circles Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Decorative Elements.  I have also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape and E-Z Adhesive Runner.

Want2Scrap and DecoArt Altered Frame

Want2Scrap and DecoArt have joined together to bring you lots of inspiration - DecoArt generously sent the Want2Scrap Design Team an amazing box of product and we are sharing our projects with YOU.  

I have decorated a plain frame that has been sitting at the back of a shelf for a long time - you know, on the 'one day I'll do something with that' pile....I am happy to say it is no longer plain and is on the front of the shelf - showing off a favourite photo of my eldest daughter when she was a lot younger.

 I have used Want2Scrap chipboard and DecoArt Glamour Dust Glitter Paint.   The frame has been painted using Crafters Acrylic and the Want2Scrap Flourish has some Silver Dazzling Metalicas applied.

 

The metal butterflies have also had some of the DecoArt Glamour Dust Glitter Paint.added to the wings.  These have been adhered to the glass using liquid glue and highlighted using Want2Scrap bling.  I have finished off with some flowers.
