DT Scraps of Darkness - Little Ballerina

Welcome!


I was inspired from this beautiful words
- Art is a never ending story of illusions - , yes that's a true saying for me.

A little ballerina dreams of a future in the limelight. 
This dream can come true, who knows that?
however, she loves the music and to dance.

 

I decided to used a background paper from the Prima Love clipping collection,
 lovely paints for a romantic little princess layout.

some details

some stars from the BoBunny Copper Accents Foil Transfers Rub-Ons
 included in the Elements Add-On


I also used this beautiful dew drop background stamp
 for the background and some leftovers from the notecards from this new Prima collection


ART letters - I colored the Kaisercraft chipboard letters
 with a embossing powder in copper/ black shades


 silk ribbon was perfect suitable to all this smart colours 
and I added as highlight the 3 little metal hearts 

Many thanks for your visit!

Hello sunshine :-)

Welcome!


- We love March 
cause Spring is almost in the air -

Yesterday was the first spring day here, 
15°C and a lot of sunshine
beautifully!!
but we have only the first beginning of spring
and today it's gray again.
Thatswhy I thought, make a fast & easy home decor project,
 where you can smile and remember on sunny 
 days.
- A wooden plaque in vintage style - 
soft springtime colors, weathered look and an optimistic feeling


I used a chalky finish paint as background 
together with some splatters from a Tattered Angles
 'Chocolat' Glimmer Mist Spray.


a cutout from an old vintage photo and from magazines
 (snowdrop, bluetit), burlap, structure pearls, 
flowers, dies (branches, butterflies) and embellishments


my new embossing powder 'Charred Gold' from Emerald Creek Dare
is really an eyecatcher, 
I love this great marble effect,
can you see this?


Have fun and let move into springtime!

 and if you need more inspirations 
we have a beautiful March Challenge Moodboard 
on Canvas Corps Brands
have a look to our Rebirth Theme



Happy sunday friends!

ATC in Vintagestyle

Welcome!

I was inspired from the Prima 'Love Clippings collection' in this kit
and I thought this notecards are a perfect background
for a set of four Artist Trading cards (ATC).
It's one of my first tries with this amazing little size.


I created a very romantic set in vintage style and added some old photo cutout's, 
the suitable chipboards (Blue Fern Studios) , butterflies dies, 
some pieces of lace and gauze, bookpaper and all were only leftovers. 
You need no more for this format.
 

you can use the notecards as basic , but also for some cutouts,
 here the little roses with a clock face


 clear stamps from Bella are really magic, 
I think as water or dew drops for a lovely effect on your background


on the right side you can see a rub on from Prima from our January kit,
 a metallic foil accent


as well as on my last layout
 I used the beautiful Magical powder from Lindys Stamp Gang 
for a small gauze
it gives a wonderful altered effect


Many thanks for your visit!
Happy weekend!

When I was a little girl ...

Hello everyone!

I decided to make a vintage layout with 'Our Story' February Kit
for our DT Scrap of Darkness.
It's a wonderful memory on my childhood  at the tender age of 3 years with my grandparents
who are died far too early. 
They always took me to her garden in a little wooden handcart, 
where I was able to observe all the little nature things, florets, bugs, ants and butterflies.


I used a paper from the wonderful Blue Fern Studios' Memoirs collection
 as background, 
 the colors were perfect for my vintage layout. 
The work with the milk chocolate powder from Lindy's stamp gang was really 'Magical' unexpected color effects occur, fascinating!!


 
  Floral Add On

 
some details

 


 I used the Magical powder also for gauze


 wonderful flowers from the Floral Add On, 
flowers, leaves and the suitable butterfly are from 49 Market
I love this smart color


 background effects with ink splatters 


two chipboard hearts with embossing pearl powder


You can find our kits to purchase here,
and we have also a very inspiring  Facebook group here,
where we love to see everyone's work with our kits.

Thanks for your visit!
Happy crafting!

Rainbow Colors

Welcome!

I was inspired from the theme by 13arts

our weather is grey, wet and creepy - the best time for crafting :-)
yes, and I need colors and sunshine!
that makes good mood, or?!
 
As I was a child I've loved it to make soap bubbles,
I could spend hours with it.
That was my inspiration for my new little mixed media home decor piece.
Funny, cheerfully and in the colors of a rainbow.



 
 



  

thats my heat tool, because without this tool I cannot exist,
the reason is -  I'm a very impatient person -

Happy sunday my friends!
