She did it

To była szybka i spontaniczna kartka na pocieszenie 

dla zmasakrowanych mięśni pewnej Super Twardzielki, 

która dała czadu podczas Terenowej Masakry.

Brawo Ty! 

Motyl to mój ulubiony Tim Holtz Sizzix LAYERED BUTTERFLY Bigz, 

Pogryziony nieco przez Tim Holtz Sizzix MIXED MEDIA Thinlits Die

Stempelek to wycofany już SSS Running With Your Heart stamp set

Ślubna produkcja

To aż do mnie niepodobne. 

Żeby z własnej woli, zrobić taką ilość prawie takich samych prac. 

Ale zauroczyły mnie totalnie i jakoś hurtem poszło.

Tylko wycinania magnolii było ogroooooomnie dużo.

i trochę zbliżeń:

Wzór zapamiętuję i zostawiam sobie na później.

Są duże szanse, że kilka podobnych się jeszcze narodzi. 

Na razie przerwa, żeby sobie nie obrzydzić :-)

Grow up

Hi there again! 

Join us over Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge making

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

As always you can win a $50 voucher and spend it

at Simon Says Stamp Store.

This was quite challenging since I make mostly cards 

but very refreshing as well to kick myself out of my comfort zone 

and make a canvas which took me ages to try again. 

I started with applying modeling paste through the Gusts stencil, 

which I really like and I saw that after heating the pattern until it bubbles, 

the pattern looks a bit like an octopus' tentacles... right? 

Or am I the only one seeing that, lol? 

After the tentacles were dried, I started to play with colors. 

First I mixed Distress Antique Linen paint with water and covered the surface randomly, the same with Nuvo Mousses. 

Then some touched of Groung Espresso and Shabby Shutters.

(After, I sprayed the whole background with Ground Espresso and when it dired I covered it with a thin layer of white gesso and nuvo pearl mousse)

When the background was ready, I focused on the main element.

That was the only part I had some idea of what I wanted, 

all the rest was just an improvisation, as always :-)

 I cut out the butterfly and added some holes with Mixed Media die. 

After that, I embossed the butterfly and paint with Nuvo Mousse Spring Green. 

That was a good base for further coloring with Infusions, Spray and metalic paint. Finally I applied Dylusion Lime spray to add vibrancy. 

I cut the same butterfly out of a corrugated cardboard and colored it.

Glued with gel medium and creased after that.

Trust Your Heart

Here we go with another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.

Since we're in full Spring, this week's theme is 

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

which means we want you to apply lots of colors!

As it's a first Monday of the month, we showcase a particular brand.

This time we use PAPER ARTSY products!  

 As always you can win a $50 voucher and spend it

at Simon Says Stamp Store.

My card is full of colorful flowers and has a textured background.

Take a look below and learn how I have made it. 

1. I chose the Infusions colors for the background.

2. Used the Mosaic stencil and modeling paste all over the surface. 

3. Covered the paste with Prima acrylic paint.

4. Applied Infusions and activated the colors with water.

5. Since I wanted the background to be brighter, I covered ot with mousse.

6. Needed to be even much brighter so used white acrylic paint and mousse. 

7. For the central panel I used oval die (thanks, Sandra!) and embossed it.

8. Colored the oval with acrylic paint and spritzed with several colors of oxides.

Then I played with Jofy minis and made a huge bouquet behind the girls.
