Guest Designer: Sylvia

Lynette asked me to be part of the GDT...

And yes.. I would love to..

It is good to be home a little...

I have made a MDF hanger, using ©Charity Dauenhauer's Pearl- DIGI

And I decided to do something totally out of my comfort zone.

I made a Mixed Media Piece with the 

gorgeous digi stamp from Charity Dauenhauer.

I colored her up with promarkers and Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils.

I played with some gesso, molding paste and some sprays.

I just added some flowers, seashells and more seastuff.

It was fun to play and to be a GDT.

Thank you and maybe I'll see you around!

Big hugs, Sylvia xxx

Dance of the Butterfly, Ching Chou Kuik

Hi everyone

Today I want to share this gorgeous stamp from Ching-Chou Kuik

"Dance of the Butterfly". 

This gorgeous stamp is availble as a single rubber stamp or digi

at Sweet Pea Rubber Stamps Store

I realy love this stamp.

I colored her in with my distresspads and markers.

To give her some sparkles, I added some glitter gelpen on 

some areas.

The flowers I made with dies, and I added some 

goldspray on to it.

The centers of the flowers are from my own stash.

Bought in a superstore over here in Holland.

The little pearls in the centers, I have from my daughter (lol).

Just some beads.. no real pearls ofcourse... 

I wanted to give it a little royal touch to it, so I used gold cardstock

as base for the card, and then layers of lightbleu and white.
I embossed the bleu cardstock with a doubledo embossingsfolder.
And on the sides of the image, I added some metal pieces, I cut them in half
(also from the superstore over here in Holland).

I hope you all like her, and don't forget to look at al the lovely

Jeweled Fairy by Teresa Sherman

This is "Jeweled Fairy" by Teresa Sherman.

This gorgeous stamp is availble at:

Sweet Pea Stamps 

and is also availble as a digi:

Sweet Pea Digi Stamp 

I colored her in with distresspads.

I wanted to make the skin a bit darker than

I useal do.

So I layerd it up in the colors

- Tea Dye

- Tattered Rose

- Tea Dye

I think the layers come up gorgeous to give it a bit darker look.

I stamped the image on a memo paper, and sticked it

on the colored image.

Than I distressed it with my blendingtool around the image.

So... there's a darker/night look.

I used some left over scrappaper from Graphic 45.

And added die corners from Leane's Creatief.

To give her a little bling, I added bleu gemstones on

the sides of the card.

I hope you like this.

Also take a look at all the other DT-members,

they are so inpirational!

Artist of the Week Charmaine Flannery "Nectar of Life".

Sometimes you have those days, it's not going the way you want.
And now this happened to me too.
But because once I like working with my hands,
I still made ​​something for the artist of the week.

I decided to just go for some messing around with the distress pads.
I made the background of the paper, and I have then stamped.
I made ​​a series of small cards.
A scribble we call it, perfect for a little message.

I hope it goes better next time.
But sometimes you have those days ...

This gorgeous stamp you can buy at:

Sweet Pea Digi Stamps

Forest Companion from Ching-Chou Kuik

Sylvia

Fall is coming...

And so are the toadstools!

Autumm brings such warm colors,

and those colors where my inspiration

for this card with the lovely image from

Ching-Chui Kuik

"Forest Companion". 

She is availble as a rubberstamp or digi.

I colored this lovely Fairy with a little deer

with my distresspads and markers. 

I wanted to give my image a little

flocky scene, so I used Frantage gold an ivory

to add some spickles on to it. 

The backgroundpapers is made of aquarelpaper

with distress. I made the paper wet and layed

down the paper in the ink, so it flows on the paper.

Than I embossed it with a provocraft embossingsfolder

to give it a forest kind of background. 

I used a red ribbon with white dots on it,

so it matches on the toadstools.

A wooden button and some raffia to give it a little woody image.

I find the colors realy warm and it gives the feeling of Autumm! 

I hope you enjoy the Autumm as I do.

Rachel Anderson.

She makes gorgeous art.

I choose to make something of

"Snow Fae".

This gorgeous stamp is availble

at:

Sweet Pea Rubber Stamp 

and is also availble as a digi:

Sweet Pea Digi Stamp 

Christmas is coming!

So I decided that a Christmas Ornament would

be lovely to make.

First I colored my Snow Fae with my distresspads.

And Clear embossed it. 

( I add 3 layers of Clear embossingspowder)

Than I put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

And than I cracked it, so you see now that there 

are cracks on the image.

I distressed it with Walnut Stain distresspad.

I remembered that I had a MDF wooden frame.

So I decided to pimp it up with Marianne Design Christmaspaper.

On the back of the frame, I glued lace for the vintage look.

On the frame I cutted snowflakes from a die cut from Joy!.

I embossed it with holographic embossingspowder.

So, here is my "Snow Fae"

from the lovely artist Rachel Anderson Collection.

I hope you like her... and take a peek to what the other DT-members have made!
