Creative Imaginations and Whimsical Words for Creativ Fusion

Good morning.  This card was created with this month's Creativ Fusions' Spring challenge in mind.  I had a lot of fun with this old 6x6 stack and matching embellishments from Creative Imaginations.  

This month's Creativ Fusion's challenge is Spring.  The twist is to use one item from each row on the grid below.  I chose to use Butterfly, Script and Oval.

RIBBON or LACE	YELLOW	BUTTERFLY
DAFFODIL	SCRIPT	GREEN
OVAL	BUNNY	GLITTER

Although it looks like the large butterfly is an embellishment it is not.  It is part of the printed paper.  The other butterflies and heart are embellishments.  I roughed up the edges of the background paper and the heart.  I inked all the edges with Quick Quotes chalk to add to the shabby chic feel.

I stamped the sentiment with Distress Oxide ink in Hickory Smoke and mounted and layered in on stitched oval die cuts.  I cut a piece from a pearl flourish to tie the embellishments together.

Ingredients:

Creative Imaginations Beautiful You 6x6 paper and embellishments

Stampin Up Whimsical Words

Distress Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke

Tutti Stitched Nesting Ovals

Want 2 Scrap pearl flourish

Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink in Cool Gray

brads and pearl topped pin

Cute N Crafty Guest Designer using Millie from PolkaDoodles

Hello, today I am guest designing at Cute N Crafty blog.  I was a provided an image of Millie from PolkaDoodles with which to play.  I swear I colored this image a total of seven times!  I printed it on two different types of paper.  I used Stampin Up Watercolor pencils for this one but I tried alcohol markers as well.



Here is a closer look.  I cut the printed paper with the same die as the base card, since the print was only 6x6 I had to cut it twice and piece it together.  It was easy to cut at the seam leaving room for a flat fold while covering the entire inside of the card.

I cut the same label die as the image base and mat in a larger size and cut it in half to create the top and bottom coordinating edges.  I inked all edges with Cool Grey Powderpuff chalking ink and finished off the card with some simple paw prints stamps and pearls.

Another view.

Creative Imaginations Beautiful You 6x6 paper

Shhh...keep this a secret, I made this Altered Altoid Tin Mini Album for my husband's 40th birthday in a couple of weeks.

 

 I used DCWV Glam Rock paper and silver metallic for most of the album.  The base is a Creative Memories black cardstock with some black shimmer paper, too.  I also used some old Mrs. Grossman's and CM sticker letters.



I used Tim Holtz and Creative Imaginations brads, bling and other embellishments.  I just love the bling around the edge.  It was Recollections from Michael's on a roll.  It is so "metal".  I just loved how this turned out, pretty good for my first attempt!  I hope he likes it.


:
"Making of a Rock Star" is the theme and I started with some crazy old pictures and ended with pics from our recent wedding last fall.

I used some paper tape instead of ribbon for a more masculine look.
