Geek Chic

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post of a card I made a while ago for a Science Girl's Sweet 16, which perfectly fits the theme of a challenge over at City Crafter Challenge Blog

I used Periodic Table of Elements to spell out her name. She had a kick out of that! Since it was a card for a girl, I had to add some pearls, so I used the pearls as my protons, neutrons and electrons in atom structure.

One more look at the card...
I am also going to join in on fun at CASology challege themed Science

I hope you enjoyed this post...

Purple Wedding Dress Card

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post of my latest creation:

I used a piece of black card stock as my base, added pieces of chipboard treated with grey paint, one step crackle by Deco Art and white gesso.

The sentiment is computer generated and cut out using the newest addition my my dies: Spellbinders Victorian Medallion 2. I added a few crystal gems just to add some sparkle to this rustic design...

The bodice of the dress was embossed with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Sparkle and then inked with Dusty Concord and Seedless Grapes DI.

It took several yards of hand died seam binding ribbon to create the dress skirt. I added two fabric flowers just because :)

Anything But Cute Challenge #5 Mixed Media Makeover

Hello everyone,

It is time for a brand new challenge at Anything But Cute and Nikki is our hostess this month. She would like to see an old project that did not quite turn out the way you hoped for and revamp it and make it better. For this challenge we'll need to see before and after picture, so that we know what you started off with...

I usually don't save any of my mistake projects, but I saved this one because I wanted to salvage the embroidered ribbon and pearl swirls...So here is my "What was I thinking???" project. (Never try to use as little ribbon as possible, if you want to make a nice dress for a card!)

And this is my make-over card:

I was able to remove the ribbon and everything else from the card without damaging the paper...I covered everything with very thick layer of gesso and while it was still wet I sprinkled some distress glitter...

I added many more layers of different ribbons and lace to create the dress and the shabby bow that was originally kinda on top of the card is now embellishing the wedding dress...

I added some liquid pearls and new sentiment...

I hope you'll join our challenge at Anything But Cute and have fun!
