Twinkling H2o's pretty dress cards

I played around with my Twinkling H2O's on the dress's. I used water color paper and archival ink. I added a few dots of stickles for a bit more bling. I don't think the pictures show how shimmery and pretty they look.

Thanks for stopping in,

Fun or Fancy is up and running

  I have been told for years I should have an ETSY shop and I played around with it a few years ago. I finally put some real time and effort into my shop and have listed over 20 of my handmade wedding headpieces and will be adding more things like sashes,and garters.
   I took my own photos and wrote my own descriptions. I would love any feedback or suggestions you might have for me to improve my shop.You know how when you look at your things you don't see what other people might see right off the bat. there is always room for improvement.
   Thanks for checking out FunorFancy if you like what you see please leave some feedback on my shop or "like" it.Word of mouth is the best advertising.
   Focus is my mantra for this year so I want to focus on getting my ETSY shop looking good and hopefully selling some of my wedding accessories.
    I sew all day altering wedding gowns and other cloths so this is a creative outlet for me just as paper crafting is a fun creative outlet.I think there are many creative people out there who know what I mean.

Birds of A feather

     I love that Susan Opel has found a new place to land and share her talents over at My Favorite Things. I also love Challenges so here is my take on My Favorite things sketch challenge.
     I used a fun stamp from Raisin Boat Stamps called Perfect Partners.  I used water color paper and water color pencils to color the cute little birds. I went a little different with the black and white/off white theme.I used spellbinders dies to mat the birds. I used some color core paper and embossed it and sanded it to let the pretty design show through. To add a pop of color on the top and bottom and to go with the sketch. I added some delicate white lace and a skinny red dot washi tape. To finish it off I added a scalloped die cut heart and a metal love embellishment I had in my drawer waiting to be used.To be truer to the sketch I added the delicate leaves a My Favorite Things die that has been discontinued.
   I hope this gets you in the Valentine mood.Be sure to pop over to My Favorite Things sketch challenge to see all of the other wonderful cards the talented paper crafters have made for this challenge.

Vintage lace and Kraft

  Burlap and lace are all the rage for wedding decor right now. I do alterations for my real job and I have 28 gowns that I am working on right now. I hear all about the decor of the brides weddings. So fun to hear what they have found on pinterest. Well when I saw the challenge #119 Get Krafty on JustRites blog I had to play with my new stamp set Lace Medallion Labels.
   I samped the lace backgound stamp by JustRite stamps with versa mark ink and then embossed it with white/ivory embossing powder on kraft paper. I cut around the edges and attached it to a Kraft card. I stamped the medallions on kraft paper and also embossed them and cut them out.I used the matching die to cut out a mat for the lace medallion that I fussy cut to get close to the edges. I fussy cut the smaller one also but I left a small border so it would show up more when layered on the card. I attached the layers on the top of the lace card front. This would be a great card for a thinking of you, thank you,or even a Mother's Day card. I exudes warm feelings and simpler  times.
  I plan on making a few of these to have on hand when I need a card to send  to say I am thinking of you.
   Thanks for stopping.

Krafty and blue a great combination

 

Blue distress ink combined with Kraft paper make for a pretty combanation.I stamped the shabby music notes  from JustRite stamps on ivory paper with versa mark ink and them embossed it with white/ivory embossing powder. I cut around it with a deckled scissors to add to the vintage look I was after. I rubbed blue distresss ink all over and then edged it and added some spots of tea die distress ink.I attached it to a Kraft card front. I stamped the lace from Lace Medallion Labels stamp set for JustRite stamps on kraft card stock with versa mark ink and then embossed it with white/ivory embossing powder and ut it out and layered it on the bottom of the card cutting it to fit. I die cut the hearts from light blue printed card stock and then edged it with the tie die distress ink. I added the hearts on top of the lace raiseing on up with pop dots.
   This would be a wonderfull Wedding or Anniversary card or a love note to someone special.
   I mad this card to enter it over at JustRites Challenge # 119 Get Krafty. Be sure to pop over and see all of the other lovely cards the talented paper crafters have made for this challenge.

Getting Krafty for a JustRite challenge take one

 

 I love a challenge it makes me get my creative juices flowing. I just got a new lace Medalion Labels stamp set from JustRite.  I stamped it with versa mark ink on Kraft paper and then embossed it with white/cream embossing powder. I cut out the medallions and then I die cut the Kraft mat with a spellbinders die.. I layered all of the pieces on the ivory card and added a little bling.It turned out so pretty.
  I will be entering this over at JustRite stamps Challenge #119 Getting Krafty. You should pop over and see all of the beautiful cards the other talented paper crafters have entered or why not enter one of your own crations.
  Thanks for stopping in.
