Carpe Diem with CCB

Welcome!

My idea was to create a diary cover in mixed media style

 with a broken heart, but patched and almost healed. 

used materials

how I made the mixed media background can you see
HERE

Tips to styrofoam heart

•  it’s a half styrofoam piece and I inked this with Glimmer Mist ‘Cross My Heart’ and ‘Crimson’
• Use a black permanent marker and make some points (4 for patch and 10 for seam)
• Glue a little piece old bookpaper as patch and draw some lines
• Make a little crack with cutting knife
• Use a needle and black yarn and connected the points it’s a very special effect
•  

 

 

Happy weekend!

Create with Joy

Welcome everybody!

A new project for our SASPC

 Steampunk DT 

with our monthly theme

New stash / Forgotten stash

and as always it is an "anything goes" 

as long as it is somehow steampunk or industrial style-ish

 my idea was to use an old book box for a new home decor piece

 with my new gentleman chipboard, 

I love this man with 

top hat :-)

I decided to create with a faux paint rust technique, 

so I used some acrylic paints together with a texture paste from DecoArt

which you can see here

 

black tissue paper as basic and then added snow tex

for an interesting structure surface

some close up's

if you need more informations, how i made this

please ask me!

Happy crafting!

DT Scrap of Darkness Butterflies

Welcome!

Today a shadow frame with a beautiful saying, 

just the right thing for a new home decor piece.

I was impressed from the G 45 paper page 'Every Blooming thing', 

I love meadows, poppies, butterflies which looks so natural.

 

 Happiness is like a butterfly. If you sit down quietly, it may light upon you.

This was a decorate chipboard from the G 45  Nature Sketchbook Collection ,

I used it as a tag with a ribbon around the whole wooden frame.

I used a part of the paper as background 

and furthermore a cut out from the butterfly and poppy flower. 

With this  3d elements the whole lives more.

I hope you will like this new January 'Botanique' Inspiration.

The Snow Queen

Welcome!

Do you know the old fairytale 'The Snow Queen' from Hans Christian Anderssen?,

 it was one of my favourite stories in my childhood.

 In the Disney adaption 'Frozen' are Elsa and Anna the main figures.

Our children loves this film and all the figures also snowmen 'Olaf', 

they are totally in vogue here.

 'Let it go' is the song which are sung or twittered on early morning,  

at noon and in the evening, especially when it has snowed.  

So I came up with the idea of tinkering a snow queen.

I also wanted to try the tattered angels mists together with fabric and stiffener.

 

how I  make this and more close up's

 can you see HERE

and very exciting News

DT Scrap Africa - Enjoy winter time

Welcome!

It's still winter time here, 

for me spring could start it, ups ;-) a little bit early. 

I miss  the sunshine, warm temperatures, chirping birds, floridity

 and all the other beautiful things in spring.

But winter has also beautiful sides.

Enjoy the little things!

and this is our Mood board for February, 

I was inspired from the stripes and color blue,

but I think there are so many other opportunities

to use this moodboard as inspiration for your own creative project.

Happy crafting!
