Inside The Lines Altered Photo Frame

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave – Inside The Lines Altered Photo Frame

In my project today I decided to create altered photo frame with beautiful, Inside The Lines Designer Series Paper. With an ever-growing trend in adult colouring books, this paper is just spot on.

inside-the-lines-dsp

I don’t know about you, but I love these bold botanical designs. They coordinate with Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set & Dies, but you can use them on their own too. Colour them in with markers, inks or watercolour pencils – it’s fun and very therapeutic…or leave them black&white. Whatever tickles your fancy.

anna-stampin-cave-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-inside-the-lines-dsp-frame

The frame is from Ikea and is called Virserum. It measures 7-1/2 x 9-1/2″ (19 x 24 cm) and comes with inside mount, hence I only needed 4″x 6″ (10 x 15 cm) piece of DSP to fit inside.

I’ve chosen this lovely, jungle-like design and cut it into 4″x 6″ rectangle. Because I was aiming for a subtle look I decided to watercolour my piece.

Bear in mind this is not watercolour paper so you can’t add too much water to it.

For the foliage, because it’s such a small area, I’ve used Stampin’ markers: Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi, Old Olive, Garden Green and Always Artichoke. First, I scribbled my markers on a craft mat. I also spritz some water on my craft mat, next to the markers. I did it deliberately, to have more control of how much water I use. Next, I took dry aqua painter, picked up some water with its brush, next picked up some colour from the mat and started colouring my foliage. I was adding more colour and more water to the mat when needed. There are 4-5 layers of colour on leaves, each layer added when the first one was dry.

anna-stampin-cave-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-dsp-inside-the-lines

To colour in the rest of the image, I’ve used ink pads as my palettes.

I’ve used Soft Sky for sky and dragonfly (with a little dab of Island Indigo marker). Mountains are coloured with Smoky Slate.

For the tree trunk, I’ve used Tip Top Taupe ink pad. To add some highlights I’ve used Whisper White Craft Ink (yes, I’ve used it with aqua painter too).

anna-stampin-cave-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-inside-the-lines

Polypores or conks (I’m not sure how they are called in the UK so forgive me if I’m wrong) are watercoloured with a mix of Sahara Sand, Crushed Curry and again some white craft ink for highlights.

For the final touch, I’ve added White Perfect Accents as dew drops (one on the sky is hiding a little boo-boo). And as a must, I had to add some shimmer with clear of Wink of Stella to the dragonfly, mountain tops, and polypores. Sadly it’s really hard to capture this lovely shimmer on photos. But now to the frame.

anna-stampin-cave-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-inside-the-lines-dragonfly

Believe it or not, this is my first ever altered photo frame. I knew I want flowers, but for a long time, I couldn’t decide on a colour. First, I wanted to go with quite a feminine look, so pinks and oranges. But once I had all my flowers ready I didn’t really like it. Typical haha. But no worries, I will use them to something else. And then I had this revelation: how about Very Vanilla?! Genius!

I die-cut oodles of flowers and leaves from Very Vanilla and Vellum cardstock. Arranged them around the frame and once I was happy with the placing, I adhered them with glue dots.

anna-stampin-cave-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-inside-the-lines-dsp-picture-frame

But as you may know me already, nothing can be too easy haha And when I looked at my frame something was missing, in my humble opinion. Oh right, it was too ‘clean’, too ‘white’. I needed some ‘controlled mess’.

I pressed Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky ink pads next to each other on the craft mat and spritz it with water. I covered the glass with a piece of paper, and using a clean brush I added random and less random splatters to the flowers and leaves. And I have to say I love it now! And I hope you like my little project too.

I also want to add this project to the #071 Theme Challenge over at Global Design Project Challenge Blog. This weeks theme is ‘3D Or Off The Page’

He Is Risen Card Using Hardwood Stamp By Stampin’ Up! And Acrylic Block Stamping Technique

Today I’ve got for you a card that is very special for me.

I’m a Christian, but I do not belong to any denomination. Long story short: I try my best to follow Jesus, my saviour, and his teachings, not human traditions, in everything I do. So at the time when nearly all christian world celebrate Easter, I and my family, simply commemorate anniversary of Jesus’s death according to the Bible’s lunar calendar. But lets back to the card.

I love all things nature and had this idea for some time now. So went to my garden for a little “foraging” and brought myself few twigs. No, no plant gets hurt 😉 For the base for my card I choose Crumb Cake card stock. Sponged the edges to add a little depth.

he is risen 7

My background is created using acrylic block stamping technique. This technique is really easy. Take an acrylic block and ink pads of your choice. I used Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party. Then just press or tap (gently) your acrylic block into the pad. When you’ve got the ink transferred on your block (as much or as less as desired) swipe the block across your card stock. Repeat these steps until you’re happy with a result. You can use just one colour, or as many as you wish. There’s no right or wrong if it comes to this technique.

he is risen

I was really pleased how my background turned out. I inked Hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake, added some Soft Suede on edges and stamped it onto my background. Before adhered it to the base I distressed all edges with scissors.

he is risen 4

To form the cross I tied my twigs with piece of white baker’s twine. I coloured twine with Soft Suede marker after, because I wasn’t sure how much of a twine I will need in first place. Added my cross to the card using sticky strip. Hot glue would be better idea but my hands are not “safe” to hold glue gun 😉

he is risen 3

Long time I couldn’t decide what sentiment to use. I even thought about printing something from the internet. But then I had a lightbulb moment: Alphabet Rotary Stamp! It’s font is simple and rough – perfect for my card! I created my phrase “he is risen” in no time. Stamped on piece of card stock with Crumb Cake again and cut it into a banner. First I thought to rise a sentiment with dimensionals, but I really wanted the cross to stand out.

he is risen 6

I’m really pleased with my card. With acrylic block stamping technique I made it in no time. Hope you like this technique and that I inspired you to give it a try. If so please give me a “like” or live a comment below. Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Framelits Art Easter Bunny Card Using Hearts Collection Framelits Dies

I usually don’t post everyday but today I felt well enough to spend some time in my *atelier* 😉 and made this fun and super easy Easter card. You all probably know what punch art is – you take various punches, punch different shapes, and then put them together to create some funny critter. My card today is framelits art. The idea isn’t mine – I’ve found it on sizzix blog. To make this adorable bunny you need various heart sizes. I used Hearts Collection Framelits Dies from Stampin’ Up! And you don’t have to figure out which sizes you need – I did all the work for you 😉

easter bunny

Here’s the list of the hearts/colours you need:

– smallest heart: 2 x whisper white, 1 x crisp cantaloupe, 1 x strawberry slush

– 2nd smallest: 1 x crisp cantaloupe, 1 x strawberry slush

– 3rd smallest: 2 x crisp cantaloupe, 1 x strawberry slush

– 5th heart: 1 x crisp cantaloupe

My card base is A5. I guess it’s possible to downsize it to A6, where the smallest heart would be from itty bitty accents punches. But I like it big 🙂 I assembled my bunny first, before put my card together (except paws and feet). For eyes I punched two medium circles from owl punch. I love his “bright”eyes 😉 I also cut few tiny strips of paper for whiskers.

easter bunny 4

For sentiment I stamped Happy Easter from Crazy About You in Versamark, heat embossed in clear and sponged with Pear Pizzazz. Then trimmed it and backed with slightly bigger piece of Whisper White. I adhered paws so it looks like a banner held by bunny.

easter bunny 2

To assemble my card I layered my card base with So Saffron DSP and two stripes/banners of Pear Pizzazz. I adhered my bunny, his feet and added paws with sentiment. Also added wee flowers in the right bottom corner and card was done.

I love this card and had lots of fun creating it 🙂 Hope you like it too. As always thank you for stopping by,
