Raindrops

The current Late Night Stampers challenge involves using crystal effects in some way on your card or project.  I decided to make some little raindrops on and around my flowers using the crystal effects and also chose some designer series paper that looks like raindrops to go behind it. 

 



 

You can see a little better on the picture below how the raindrops turned out. 

 

The designer series paper is from the Moonlight stack in the upcoming catalog and the stamp set is again Bloom with Hope.

 

I added some Blackberry Bliss 3/8" stitched satin ribbon and some naturals designer buttons to finish off the card.

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder ink

Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon card stock

Moonlight dsp stack

decorative label punch

crystal effects

naturals designer buttons

Blackberry Bliss 3/8" stitched satin ribbon

Non Winning Artisan Project #9

So for the first 3D project entry I altered a canvas using reinkers, glue and salt.  Then, I used the Music Notes wheel and added some stamping to it.



 

 

The basic rhinestones were colored with reinkers and crystal effects before I added them to the canvas and I also dyed some paper doilies to use for accents.

 

 

I found a great Christopher Robin quote that I printed onto some Canvas Creations and then I sponged and spritzed ink over it before I added an image and some recolored basic pearls.

 

The butterflies are cut from the cardboard box that a My Paper Pumpkin kit came in and then I used the same music notes wheel to add music.

 

The canvas creations strips behind the picture were dyed just like the paper doilies and then distressed directly with ink pads.

 

There was lots of dimension and texture in this piece and it is another one that I would have loved to keep, but probably won't spend the time recreating for my own use.

I added a few drops of Crystal Effects to make the flowers look like they have raindrops on them.

Another Message Board

Here is another version of my message board, this time using the Mocha Morning Specialty paper and the Daring Adventure stamp set.

I use 8 x 10 inch frames for these and instead of having the glass laying around someplace where it could get broken, I put it behind the cardstock.
