"Moments" - Scrapmatts, Studio 75 card

Hello my friends!!

This is a layout I made using Prima's BAP for April..

"Moments"

I have used CB8001 Circles and CB4061 Assorted Words 17

To create the look on the word "Moments" I painted the chipboard white, went over it with glimmer glaze "pink lady", with a brush I added a little glimmer glam "Mermaid", I dropped some dylusion "turquoise" and glimmer mist "Bahama blue and then went over the whole piece with crackle accents

For the circles I followed the same process but instead of crackle accents, I covered them with crackle paint "rock candy"

Now, to create that look on the background, I used a few dylusions and raised the paper so they drip and then I used a stencil, texture paste and stamps!!!

For the look below, I used dylusion mist and then I started blowing air straight at it in various directions...do I make sense? LOL!!

This is a tag I made using CB3007 Tags 03, CB1077 Bird Cages 03

To make the crackle effect I used Martha Stewart "Weather crackle".

I painted the cage blue, added some white paint randomly and heat embossed some clear glitter powder here and there! The bird was painted white and heat embossed with the glitter powder.

A small ATC using ATC10-007 Arch 04, MC1028 Micro Chips 20, CB1191 Scrapwords 03

This is very simple..I painted the cage black and randomly added some gold..

And a little sweet card for my mother!!!

I have used CB1159 Hearts 05, CB1198 Scrapwords 06

Chipboard: Scrapmatts

"Happy New Year" - Scrapbooking in Greece & Purple Pumpkin!

Hello my dear friends!!

Happy new year to everyone!!! My wish for you in 2013 is to be healthy, happy, lucky, loved and creative!!! I am sorry for the late post but I was away on vacation and then I was in bed with tonsillitis :(

But now I am back and I feel much better!!!

So here is a card I made for "Scrapbooking in Greece" and I dedicate it to all of you!!!

As you can see, I have created a tree using some yummy Purple Pumpkin spotty buttons!! 

The card is very simple but I love it! I used my bigshot to make the embossed background and then I inked it with distress inks. I have also used green washi tape all around to create a frame!

Now, the new sketch by Crece over at Purple Pumpkin blog looks like this:

And my take on it:

"Tree-mendous"

I have used lots of Purple Pumpkin goodness!!!

Doily and red button!

I love these vintage buttons! This cluster is 100% PP products! The felt and crochet doilies, buttons, brown flower, craft tag, washi tape and twine!!!

Materials used:

Papers & stickers: Echo Park

Embellishments: Purple Pumpkin

Mist: Dylusions by Ranger

Distrezz-it-all by Zutter

I hope you all had great holidays and that 2013 will be the best year ever!!!

Thanks for coming by! I'll be back soon ;)

Hugs and kisses!!!
