Sunflower Gnome

 Hello,

Here is a slimline card I made as my DT inspiration for Conie Fong. I used the recent release 'Sunflower Gnome' image.

I printed my image and colored it with Copic markers. I used my Faber Castell Polychromos to add shadow and more color.

I trimmed the sheet to fit a slim line card. I created clouds with hand cut cloud stencil and distress ink. To finish off I added the sentiment from the image bundle.

Hope you liked my card. Till next time - Happy crafting!

DT Call for Fantasy Dies

Hello,

 

I am Gayatri, from India. I have a wonderful family and I am a mother to two young men. I have always been fascinated with crafting and artwork. About 6 years back, I stumbled upon quilling and that got me addicted to crafting. A whole new world opened up to me and helped me to unleash my creativity. I am totally passionate about crafting and trying out new techniques. I love making cards and albums. I am currently trying out Mixed Media. One thing that stands out in my projects is my handmade flowers with paper and foamiran, as embellishments.

'Fantasy' has a good and unique collection of dies and chipboards. I am a big fan and have a collection of their dies which I love to use in my projects. 

The Fantasy Design team has always come out with innovative projects. I would love to be part of the Fantasy  Design Team, which will allow me to try new ideas and showcase the products.

Altered wood slice.

Hello,

I would like to share my DT project made for the July mood board at 'Splashymix Challenge'.

I made a mixed media home decor piece with a wood slice. 

I primed the surface with gesso and created texture. I added blue and pink sprays on the base and stamped with Archival ink. I added lace, a few die cuts, chipboards, fussy cut flowers, handmade paper flowers, etc. I added a few clear drops and crystal drops also. I brushed mini stones here and there to create texture. 

Here are a few more pictures:

Here is a video of the process:

Sally's Christmas Friends - DT post

Hello,

I have a DT Inspiration post for Conie Fong, using the Digi - 'Sally's Christmas Friends'.

I colored the image with Copic markers. I always give a final touch of shading with Polychromos for adding depth.

I prepared a card base 6 " x 6" and layered it with pattern paper from Mintay paper - 'Home for Christmas'. I trimmed the image and layered it with red cardstock. I added a few fussy cut elements from the paper pack and die cuts. 

Hope you liked my card. Till next time - Stay safe and enjoy crafting!

Accordion Album

Hello,

Here I am with another DT inspiration for Mini Album Makers Challenge.

Today I have a simple Accordion or zig-zag fold album. The album measure 5.5 inches x 5.5 inches and I have used Scrapboys 'Flowers Story' paper pack.

I have a pictorial tutorial also on how I created it. Here are a few picture of the album.

How I made it:

• Take 5 pieces of kraft colored cardstock measuring 11 inches long by 5.5 inches wide. You can have more pieces. It depends on how many pictures your album has to hold.

• Score on the 11 inches side at 5 1/2 mark and fold. Burnish the folds. Do it for all the pieces. 

• Stick the flaps of the pages as shown below. the valley of the fold and mountain fold should be facing opposite. 

• Continue with the rest of the pages.

• The end flaps should be facing you. Take two pieces of chipboard measuring 5.5" x 5.5". Cover them with pattern paper. 

• Stick the end flaps to the inside of the chipboard. Now you have the front and back of the album.

• Decorate the pages as you wish.

Here is a flip through of the album:

Hope you liked my project. Do check the Mini album makers Challenge blog for more inspiration from our DT members and share your projects.

Till next time - stay safe and craft more.
