Camelia Flower Tutorial

Good day Crafters!

I was experimenting on my heartfelt creations classic rose stamp and die set and I was able to come up with 100 different flowers using the same die set.  And today I wanted to share one of the flowers that I've made out of it.  The Camelia...

I was inspired by the flowers (real ones) that I saw on Pinterest, so I've decided to somehow recreate them using my dies and stamps from heartfelt creation.  So here it goes.....

Prima Princess Natalie - Art Journal Page

Good day Crafters!

Recently I'm so addicted to Prima Princess Stamps, and I started making an Art Journal using the Prima Princess Stamps.  Today, I want to share the first Art Journal I've made using Prima Princess Natalie.

Vintage Journal Page featuring Prima - Princess Natalie Stamp.

I started of by watercoloring the background using tim holtz distress inpads:  Old Paper, Tea Dye and Antique Linen.

Water Color with Distress Inkpads

Then I did some distressing and stenciling using distress inkpad vintage photo and stencil gothic (also from ranger, designed by tim holtz.

Distressed Edges and Stenciled

Then I started stamping it all over using Memento Expresso Truffle inkpad and assorted stamps from ranger (designed by tim holtz) and Hampton Art.  Sorry I won't be able to write down all the stamps name, as I don't have the names with me anymore, and I can't remember what they're called, but Im 100% sure that I used ranger stamps (designed by tim holtz) and hampton stamps.

Background Stamping

Then I stamped Prima Princess Natalie on the corner of my journal page and stamped another one on a separate cardstock, colored it with distress inkpads, cut it off, edge it with distress marker and lastly I stick it on top my my stamp image on my journal page using a gel medium.

Cut out over stamped image

Then I did a little bit more of stamping using Prima Princess Natalie Stamp (just the floral part) and a ranger eiffel tower stamp (designed by tim holtz).  I colored the stamped and image and finished it off with a gel matte medium.

Finished Project

MATERIALS USED:

• Prima - Princess Natalie Stamp
• Distress Inkpads:  Old Paper, Tea Dye, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet, Fired Brick, Mermaid Lagoon, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Picket Fence and Broken China.

Hope you all enjoyed it!

Prima Princess Claire Tag using Distress Inkpads and Distress Oxides

PRIMA - PRINCESS CLAIRE LARGE TAG
Using Distress Oxides (Tag) and Distress Inkpads (coloring Princess Claire).

Good day Crafters!

Oh yea I know, I know!  Its been a long time...  hahahaha..  I really don't get any time to blog anymore, nor do I get any time to create, all because I have a growing toddler who loves to be around me 24/7.  Well anyway, today I sneaked out, since my husband is at home right now, I see to it that I finish a tag and I do my blog!  Yes Finally!!!!  So here it goes.....

Prima recently released their new line of stamps called the princess stamps, and I instantly fell in love with them and played with them.  I started by stamping the image of Prima Princess Claire twice using my Hampton stamp tool.  Oh yes! I did stamp the image twice, as I notice if I stamped it once since the design is very intricate, the lines are not that visible, so I have to stamp it twice using my Memento Expresso Inkpad.  And then I color it using my distress inkpads like so...

I also used some perfect pearls to glimmer some spots in my image then I cut them out.  I did some layerings on my other cut outs as you can see in the picture above.  Then glued them into my distressed tag (I used distress oxide and distress ink in making the tag).

Unfortunately things did not end well for me, because my son sneaked into my craft room and unfortunate thing happened on the neckline of my Princess Claire.  So I ended up doing a bit of a remedy, because retouching it won't work, since I already sealed the stamped image with a matte gel.  I just went on and played with it. LUCKILY!  It ended up like so...

MATERIALS USED:

• Mixed Media Cardstock
• Ranger - Distress Inkpads (Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Mustard Seed, Squeeze Lemonade, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Picket Fence, Tea Dye, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Twisted Citron, Dusty Concord, Spiced Marmalade, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Vintage Photo, Antique Linen)
• Ranger - Distress Oxides (Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber)
• Ranger - Perfect Pearls (Blue Raspberry, Pink Gumball, Forever Green, Grape Fizz, Perfect Pearl)
• Studio G - Glitter Glue
• Water brush
• Twine
• Cheese Cloth
• Eyelet

Hope You all Enjoy It!!!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

PCCS Sketch Card Challenge #200

Good day Crafters!

Its been a long time.  I was on leave in my Crafting Studio, because I have been busy taking care of my growing boy.  He's become more active now that he's turning two, I have to play with him all the time or take him out all the time, or else he'll get very cranky.  Aside from managing my online business and doing my house chores.  Oh Yes!  It's indeed difficult to be a Mom, but I love it.  I love cuddling my little one so much that I just can't get enough of him, so I have to take a leave on Crafting. 

Today is the day that I finally got the time to do some crafting, as I wasn't drained that much playing with my son.  I was browsing thru the net and I came about a new challenge in Paper Craft Crew, and oh! I so love the new layout on their challenge and I am planning to do more of the said card layout if given the time. 

And so, after a month of being on leave.  Here goes my newest creation (i am still finishing my graphic 45 creation, its a lot of fussy cutting thats why its taking me a lot of time to finish it, since i don't get the time to craft a lot):

The Challenge Layout

My 1st Entry

I just did everything based on the basic shapes in the sketch, I'm planning to do more if ill be given a chance to do so by tomorrow, using intricate shapes.  I am not a fan of washi tapes, thou I have some tim holtz tissue tape (which i barely use), so I just cut off a strip of my designer paper series and some brown cardstock for the background.  And then I just followed everything as per the layout.

MATERIALS USED

• Stampin Up Inkpad - Crushed Curry
• Stampin Up Inkpad - Island Indigo
• Stampin Up Stamp Set - Baby Prints
• Memento Inkpad - Tuxedo Black
• Echo Park - Its A Boy (designer series paper)
• Brown Cardstock
• White Cardstock
