Journal Page

 Hello and Goodmorning. Today I have a journal page for you today and I'm using Fox and Found Studio collage sheets. 

Antique document tape strips

Butterfly

Big blooms

Vintage teacups

Vintage bingo

Victorian cabinet card


This was a fun one to make. I took the Antique document tape strips and glued them down with collage medium and then I used distress crayons to add color to the background.

I then took the ButterflyBig bloomsVintage teacupsVintage bingoVictorian cabinet card and cut out the images. I then glued them as you see on my journal page. 

I colored the Vintage teacups with some blue on top then I cut a slit in the cup and added my Victorian fairy to the cup. Lastly, I added crackle medium to the teacup and when it was dry I watered down a drown distress crayon to make the cracks visible.

Just saying hello

 Today I have a card I made. I used Fox and Found Studio collage sheets.

Big Blooms

Antique French Ledger

Everyday greeting

This is a real easy card to make. As you can see I didn't even get the background strait, but it seems to work.
I started off with Antique French Ledger and trimmed it down to fit on front of a card. I stamped AALL&Create framed details stamp in antique linen distress ink all over the back. I then tied to glue it strait on the front of the card base but that didn't work. So I then edged the card with gathered twigs distress ink.
Then I cut out a rose from Big Blooms and edged it with pink and green markers so you don't see the white. I then glued it to the front of the card and a saying from the Everyday greeting. The card is done.

Sugar Plum Fairies

 Hello, I'm here with a card for you. 

Stamps Used:

So, I was going for sugar plum fairies dancing in your head. I guess I should have gone with a purple color to stamp the thin dancer but I picked blue. I then cut them out and set aside. 
Next, I stamped a snowflake from small snowflake set  with versa mark ink and used white embossing power. I then took a white gel pen and added white dots around the background. On some of the white dots I added some lines coming out of it.
I glued the sugar plum fairies on the card and added the saying to the bottom.

'Tis Halloween

 Hello all I'm here for the Celebrate it theme I picked my favorite holiday Halloween.

Stamped Used:

Simple card today. The only thing that took some time was cutting out my witch. I started out with the Large Gothic shrine and stamped that right on my card base. I colored that with Copic markers.

Next, I stamped the Gnome witch on broom and 'tis Halloween saying on white cardstock. I colored the Gnome witch on broom with Copic markers and cut out. I then trimmed the 'tis Halloween saying and edged it with a black marker. 
I added foam tape to both and added to the front of the card and done.

Monochrome

 Hello all there is a new challenge over at The Male Room blog. Monochrome.

Stamps I used:

Pieces of calligraphy from Lost Coast Designs

The man, dots and numbers are from Tim Holtz that I got at Joann's.

For the ink I used:

Graphite

Elements from Lavinia 

I started off by using a blank index card and smooching the ink on a craft mat to make the background. I did that a few times to get the background I wanted with the different layers of gray. I then stamped the circle from Pieces of calligraphy randomly over the index card and the card base. Edged the index card with the gray ink. Next, I glued the index card to the card base, and I stamped some dots and numbers over it. I then stamped the guy's head on a scrap piece of white cardstock and cut out and added that to the middle of the card.
