Shabby Chic Medieval Steampunk!!

Thought i would change this up a bit.
From Valentine's Steampunk to Shabby Chic Medieval Steampunk!

I am using a My Besties Image 895
 

Shabby Chic Tip:
Try to match an element from your image to put on your card.
I can see feathers in this My Besties hat,
so it's a cue to add some feathers to my card!

Let's do some recycling!

Whenever i make my 3D images from printables,
 i usually have one image left with just a small bit cut out.
So instead of throwing that layer away,
 i decided to substitute an actual ribbon for the paper bow.

I am using a My Besties Printable/Image, called Jan E CP

Here are the parts i "recycled" from the trash:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I decided to create this card today, so i used an image i colored 2 yrs ago.
I decided to clean her up a bit and added some digitally coloring
Then i printed her off 4 times, cut her out and layered her to get a 3D image.

I am using a My Besties Image, called Susie in Overalls

Are you thinking about Spring and Easter, it's not far away!


Time for some fun with two cute My Besties images!

I wanted to make a Magic Slider card
using the two images below on my card so that 
the image looked like the eyes 
would be open and shut.  I found that i didn't have any
transparency sheets to accomplish this goal 
so i went with another plan!
I would love to see someone else try the Magic Slider idea!

I am using a My Besties Printable/Image, called IMG 912 and IMG 912-2

 I have colored the image with open eyes with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils
The closed eye image was printed on vellum and colored with Prismacolor Pencils
to give a soft "shadow look" to this card.

Shabby Chic tip:
Gather lace using heavy duty double sided tape.
Lay the tape down where you want your lace, and then
using the accordion folding technique, make your gathers 
leaving space between each fold.

Guess what?

My flowers are starting to pop up out of the ground!
It's not spring yet.  I hope they won't freeze.

I am using a My Besties image - IMG918


Close up view:

 Shabby Chic Tip:
Use a die that you can "frame" your sentiment with,
and add some ribbon to make it look like it is hanging.

Thinking Spring and Sunny!

I am hoping for a glimpse of Spring today..even if it is a bit chilly!

I am using a My Besties Printable/Image, called November HC 2

Close up 3D view

Shabby Chic Tip:
Using Vellum softens any color underneath.
Embossing vellum gives an added texture!
