CSI 149 family * excitement * merry!

Hi everyone a new case file is up at CSI, come play with us this week with a fun palette and an even more fun sketch!

 My scheme is all there, for my evidence I used string, hearts, plaid and trees and for my testimony I wrote in a swirl!

What a fun mix of Bella Blvd papers, they match so well together!

And here's our palette and sketch for you!

Prima PPP and Bloom Girl Holidays, DIY Merry Christmas!

Hi I'm back from a recharging vacation.  A week spent with my dear family, perfect!
I came inspired to work and I wanted to use the Holiday Bloom Girl as inspiration as well as the Prima PPP.
Sea World and Busch Gardens were so inspiring in the recycling department that I had to join in!

So here's a step by step for you guys!

I opened the bag and flipped it and the stamping began...

I used brown ink to match the kraft and to blend with the gold leaf pen I used to highlight some of her elements

what started with the heart , continued with the hair and ended with her heels

I finished it up with some cool accessories, twine, a couple of gold glitter die cut leaves and a Prima poinsettia

I decided it was missing a tag and I used a Julie Nutting sentiment, heat embossed in gold to match my scheme

Here's the PPP soo gorgeous!

 Now how about using that gorgeous silver flower as well?

 

In keeping with the palette I used not only the silver bloom but a metallic PITT marker to paint my feather in silver, some gold glitter for the other feather to highlight the center and then some gold foil to highlight the third!

Can you spot the 3 different colorings?

 

 they match together so well, love my DIY Christmas!!!!

And in keeping with the recycled inspiration check out this tree, made from plastic bottles !!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

12 Days of Christmas Days 8 and 11 Bloom and Julie Nutting

Hi everybody! Hope you had  a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! We had family with us and that makes it the best!
Today I am playing another combo using a Bloom Girl and Julie Nutting's Merry Nice sentiments along with some color bloom spray in Gold Foil on fabulous Bloom Girl watercolor paper.

 To create my gold poinsettias I stamped the holly leaves like I showed you on this Christmas tutorial
I embossed them with gold and then used the color bloom with a paint brush to fill them up.  The watercolor paper absorbs the spray so nicely!  Then I sprinkled some 3D Gloss gel and some beads on top for a nice effect.

I totally love the way everything came on together!
Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas , Color Bloom Sprays Day 9

Hi everybody! I am totally missing day 8, I HAVE to work with my bloom girl, in the meantime I had to break open my new bloom sprays and my other fave worn leather.  I am using several days today: tons of say it in crystals, gorgeous wood icons, blooms sprays for the Prima challenge

Perhaps this is not your regular, average  card you may say, but this one will be shipped off to a dear friend of mine in England who has a darling granddaughter and I know she will be delighted to play with her and perhaps give it to her.

What better way to bring the spirit of Christmas than to share it with someone you care!

I am also caring about the environment as this is an upcycled project.

So off to the nitty gritty

Every Christmas we wait for the almond nougat to come straight from Spain, we absolutely love "turrón" and specially the one that comes in the wooden box!

I thought the inside had so much possibility

specially when encountered with something as magical as the bloom sprays

I also needed to transform some furniture

see the beautiful shade of teal on my wood and my wallpaper!

now on to the details

I love the way the SIIC make the garland shine, I also hand cut the sewing machine and broke the blue safety of the bloom spray to create the rectangular frame on my table.  I knew I was missing something else on my table so you will see on the next shot what it is

I wish I could make you play a game to figure out which Prima paper I used to frame on my resin piece, LOL!

 

You see, I needed the word JOY

And now the outside, it has some greenery and it has been shadowed because I don't want to share the address, but my card is already to ship!

Hope you enjoyed my card! And tanks for visiting!

12 days of Christmas, day 7 SIIC

Hi! Still computer-less but with my imagination in high gear... I had already used the say it in crystals on my day 6 but given there's a New challenge over at Prima using them I decided to play again.
Using the doilies 1 die cut I trimmed the scallops around the circle to create a sweet Christmas bauble.

12 Days of Christmas days 1 & 2

Continuing with my computer despairs here's my next share, a tag using Finnabair glitter, Julie's doll and the doily die.  As with the first one I have more close ups to share whenever I'm able to upload, grrr
This is what I have for now...
