Make a Wish - May Sketch Challenge

Hi! It's Sandie here today and I am sharing my take on this month's challenge, which is to follow one of the sketches below. 
I chose to follow the top left sketch and this is what I came up with 

I used my papers, which are Sweet Pea from Kaisercraft, to create the layout of the sketch and then stamped lightly over the dotty paper with the De-Vine clear stamp and Brushed Corduroy distress ink.  I then cut a stitched oval from another designer paper and finally a cardstock oval on which I stamped my sentiment from the Make a Wish clear stamp set. 
Also from the Make a Wish set, I embossed a butterfly using Gold Satin Pearlpowder. I trimmed it out using a scissors and added some gold pearl pen down the 'spine' of the butterfly. 

I die cut some flourishes from cream cardstock and embossed them with Chartreuse powder. I layered on my flourishes and flowers and finished off by adding some more of the gold pearl pen and some cream pearls to the flourishes. 

WOW! Embossing …

Memories

Hi! It's Sandie here and today I am sharing my take on this month's theme, which is  Memories I created a scrapbook layout using various stamps, powders and other WOW! Embossing products
The papers I'm using are 12th Teacup and Overused Tablecloth, from 7 Dots Studios's Domestic Goddess collection. 

On the background papers I stamped the Canvas with London Fog ink, then Funky Border Strips with Victorian Velvet distress inks. I used the Alpha Set to add the year the layout. 

For the flowers I used Foil Melt-It cases and combined some Melt-It powder with embossing powders. To melt the powders together I heated from underneath the foil case using the WOW! Heat Tool

I used Apple RedUltra High, Red Glitz Embossing Glitter and Gold Satin Pearl to emboss the wooden embellishments on the layout.

Sparkle Every Day

Hi! It's Sandie here and today I am sharing my take on this month's theme, which is  Mixed Media. I have had this wooden wall plaque in my stash forever and decided it would be perfect to alter using some left over papers from the Ruby Rock-It/WOW! Embossing blog hop - if you haven't seen the hop, you can find it HEREYou still have a little bit of time to hop around for your chance to win an amazing prize :) 

I created the background using Gesso, modelling paste, stencils and spray inks. Once it was dry I started to layer up my elements. I  distressed the edges of the quote with Blue Glitz glitter powder and adhered it with 3D foam. 

For the flowers I used Foil Melt-It cases and combined some Melt-It powder with various embossing powders. To melt the powders together I heated from underneath using the WOW! Heat Tool. The moulds I used were - Daisy & Tea Rose


When I had all of my embellishments in place I finished by adding some Tim Holtz Chitchat word stickers. 

WOW! …

One Stamp.. Two Ways

Hi! It's Sandie here and it's my turn to share some DT inspiration with you. Our theme this month is One Stamp - Different Looks
I made 2 cards using one of the butterfly stamps from the With Love clear stamp set.
On the first card I used Clear Gloss powder on white card and sponged the background with Victorian Velvet distress ink.  Tip: Rub over the butterflies with a damp cloth to remove any ink residue.  I matted it onto white card and used 3D foam to adhere it to the card base.  I stamped the sentiment with Archival black ink and distressed the edges with the Victorian Velvet.  Finally, I added some liquid pearls randomly to the card front. 
For my second card I used the butterfly as a focal image.  I stamped it out onto smooth card and coloured it, to match my papers, using copic markers.  Purples - V000, V02, V04 Green - YG21, YG23, YG25 I cut  the image out with Lacy Circles nestabilities, adhered it to the card with 3D foam and added some liquid pearl around the cir…

My Favourite Things

Hi! It's Sandie here and today I am sharing a card I made featuring a few of my favourite things.

My favourite colour is Teal, followed closely by Mustard so they are the feature colours on my card. 
The card base is 105mm x 148mm. I layered on a white 100mm x 143mm white panel and a 96mm x 139mm piece of patterned paper. 
I created a smaller panel using Sexi-Hexi with Gold Pearl (Regular) powder. I cut it down to approx 82mm x 126mm and matted it onto white card just slightly bigger. I used 3D foam to adhere it to the bottom panel. 

I used the Gratitude set with Blue Topaz for the flower and Nutmeg for the sentiment ticket. Each layer is stuck down with 3D foam for lots of dimension, which is another favourite thing. 


To embellish I added some Viva Decor pearls pen around the card.

Time - An Art Journal Page

Hi! It's Sandie here today with a Journal page I created for this month's theme, which is  Time

 The background has been painted with Blush Pink, Vanilla Bean & Periwinkle acrylic paints. I then used the Sexi-Hexi clear stamp with Primary Blue Topaz powder. 

I embossed my clocks with the limited edition Passion Fruit Glitter and adhered them to the page with wet glue. Then I added some metal hands, secured with matching brads. 

For extra shading I used gelatos around the clocks and the edges of the page. I also used them to highlight the sentiment. When everything had dried I took the Cracked Leather stamp and stamped it randomly around the page with Archival black ink.

Altered Canvas - Love Family Life

Good morning :) It's Sandie here today with  my take on this month's theme - Gardens


I created an altered  4" x 6" Box Canvas wall hanging taking inspiration from the colourful gardens around my street right now.
I prepared the canvas with a layer of gesso and quickly dried it with my heat gun. Then I layered on some tissue paper and applied another layer of gesso over it, before spraying the canvas in blues and greens - to represent grass and sky. 

Taking the Cracked Leather stamp and Versamark ink I first heat embossed some Olive powder and then I used the stamp again with black Archival ink. I applied some gold embossing paste and set it aside to dry. 

While my embossing paste was drying I made some Flowers and a red Heart. I don't have a melt-pot so I used some Foil Melt-It cases and my heat gun to melt the powders and Melt-It. For the flowers I used Bright White and for the heart I used Apple Red

I took some white chipboard letters and heat embossed the…

Live, Learn, Discover - Altered Notebook

Hi! It's Sandie here today with my take on this month's Antique theme, for which I altered a Notebook
For the background I used scraps of papers which I ripped and distressed with Brushed Corduroy ink. I embossed bubbles on the papers with Metallic Gold embossing powder. Then I layered up some lace and ribbons. I cut some cards from the papers, distressed the edges and layered them using 3D foam on some, for extra depth. 

I punched some butterlflies, inked the edges and added a single champagne coloured pearl to each of them. 
I made a selection of flowers from the Silicone Molds and Melt-it powder. I also added some paper roses and cherry blossoms. 

I also added some Metallic Gold Rich to the postcard behind the main sentiment. To complete the layout I added some more champagne pearls.

Enjoy the Journey - Altered Paintbrush

Hi guys! It's Sandie here today, with my take on our March challenge which is WOOD

I started with a cheap 4" wood handled paintbrush, from a discount store, and primed it with a few coats of gesso. Then I covered the handle with text coffee filter paper and finished it off with some clear embossing powder. 
I made some black and white flowers using Melt-It and some moulds and I embellished the front of the brush.

Hi! It's Sandie here today with my take on this month's DT Inspiration and challenge theme - Glass. 
My card features the Gratitude Clear Stamp set

I stamped the hearts with Fired Brick distress ink and cut them out individually. Then I covered them all with versamark and clear gloss embossing powder. Once I'd heat embossed them I repeated the process until there was a thick 'glass' layer on them. I adhered some bakers twine to the back and stuck the hearts down with 3D foam dots. 

I also stamped the heart border with Fired Brick distress ink and the Thanks sentiment with black memento ink.

Faux Leather Wallet

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here today with my take on this month's challenge -  Fabric

I found the tutorial for this over on Splitcoast Stampers. I used Kraft card, put through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder and then heat embossed with clear gloss. In the tutorial you do these steps before stitching the patterned paper inside but I found it very hard to get it through the machine, and found stitching before heat embossing was much easier. 

For my fabric I added some ribbon and ribbon sliders to each side. I finished with a metal button.

Family Ties

Hi!! It's Sandie here today and I have a mixed media canvas to share for this month's challenge theme -

Family

I created the background by layering on some Prima papers - Buff by Julie Nutting - and then layered gesso. mixed with a little water, on top. Then I added some texture with dry wall tape, washi tape, stiff lace and modelling paste. I used a stencil for the modelling paste. I heat dry each layer with my WOW! heat tool to speed things up. 

Once the background had dried I used some bubble wrap with embossing ink and Copper Pearl embossing powder

Taking my Silicone Moulds I made some Roses and Daisies with Melt-It powder mixed with Copper, Gold, & Pearl powders. I arranged them around the Family Ties wheel adding a key tied with gold ribbon. To finish I added a fabric butterfly and some wooden hearts.

Hi! It's Sandie here today with a little WOW! Embossing inspiration. Following along with our theme this month, Christmas and/or Winter, I have made a Winter tag. 

To create the background I started with some blue snowflake paper and added a thin layer of gesso over most of it. Then I added some mesh and more gesso. Using a stencil and modelling paste I added some bubbles. 
For the snowflakes I first embossed them with Clear Gloss and then some Mojave.

I coloured the tree with a green copic marker (G21) and then spritzed it with Kiwi Glimmer Mist, dried it off with a heat gun and then embossed it with Clear Gloss. 

I sprinkled some Nice Ice Blue and Mojave onto mod podge and heat embossed it so that the powders melted into the mod podge. 

I stamped the sentiment onto white card with Memento black ink and then cut the letters apart. I adhered them with mod podge and then put a thick layer of glossy accents over them. Finally, I inked the edges with Broken China distress ink. 


WOW …
