Project:: Shadow frame #2

A friend of mine got married in July and I decided to make her a special shadow box: I made a fake magazine cover with a photo from her marriage using Photoshop, printed it and then embellished the frame.

 

 All the flowers, leaves etc are from an Inkadinkado clear stamps set that I colored with my copics.

I highlighted a few details with stickles

 

I heat embossed with white embossing powder some metal butterflies I had and added a strip of Flower Soft at the bottom. 

For the background I stamped with the Hero Arts "Old Letter" stamp and distress ink.
The result is really fresh and pretty, just like a new bride!

Rania's Layouts: July 2009

Here's a summer layout I did a few days ago, when my brother brought me the photos from their 2009 vacation - better late than never!
The background paper is K & Company, the seashells are stamps from a Hero Arts clear stamps set, I also used some glossy varnish for some shine. The title was cut from a piece of foam pad and I colored the letters with my copics. I also wanted to add something like a net for fish, so I used a kind of tulle I had, I just colored it with a copic in order to achieve the color I wanted.

For the flower I used a stamp from a StampTV stamps set, after coloring it with my copics I heat embossed it with some UTEE and moulded the petals in shape before it was completely cold. Then I added a few of Martha Stewart's microbeads, on top I adhered a foam dot and on top I positioned a charm that I had colored with a copic and then heat embossed with UTEE (this way the color will not fade).

Last touch some free hand doodling with a white pen and...ready!

Card Making: Happy Name Day!

I wanted to make a card for my friend's Eleni name day and I wanted to use this sweet Tilda, and I had the idea to place her outdoors. So I started by making the tree, I just made a tree trunk drawing, I cut it and colored it with my copics. For the folliage I just inked a piece of cardstock with green distress inks and then embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing forlder.
After positioning the tree on the card, it seemed too bare to me so I made a picket fence out of beige cardstock with a ruler and a pencil, I also inked it with distress inks. Then I used some green cardstock and made the grass and on top I adhered the Tilda with foam squares.
Then I added more strips of grass in front of the Tilda, but that was not enough, so I also made a May wreath with green Flower Soft and Martha Stewart's  microbeads.
When I thought that it was done, I realized that I forgot to add a "happy name day", so I made two little rocks with cardstock and distress inks and wrote the wish on them (LOL!) and...ready!

Layouts: November 2009

This layout is about the first greek crop that took place in November. I wanted to create a colorful and vibrant page and I think I accomplished it! After adhering the photos and the cards that I made that day as well as some memorabilia, there was no room left, so I folded a piece of paper in two and used the inside for my journaling. I embellished the front of the card with distress inks, the Hero Arts "Old Letter" stamp and then I used a strip of a patterned paper where I added some Flower Soft. Then I added the label, I cut it using a Label One die (Nestabillities) and finally adhered the date and...ready!
