Musical Flight

It is a fact - anything Spellbinders inspires me - but I have to say I am partial to the Die D-Lites, especially the first ones designed by Spellbinders Founder Stacey Farneth Caron - I have to say - she 'gets' me!



When I run off a Die for a project, I usually run off a few so I have them at an arms reach when I am creating.  For my card I have used the divine Window One Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites™ and the Floral Ovals Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.  My image is from Penny Black®, Inc. and the paper from KaiserCraft.  The gorgeous pearls are from Want2Scrap©


 


The sentiment is is a sticker from my stash and has been adhered to a tag from the A-2 Fancy Postage Stamps Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator.  All of the Dies have been cut with one run through os the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine - you have to love that!  I have used my favourite inks -
IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko®



a quick and easy card with lots of dimension!



This card is for the following challenges: 
Eureka Stamps - Summertime Fun 
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes 
Pause, Dream, Enjoy - Anything Goes
 613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes 
 Great Impressions - Leave a Little Sparles

Pile It On - Vintage/Shabby Chic  

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

AIR Tutorial - Red White and Blue

 Hello I am back with my third and final Imagine Crafts/ Tsukineko Artist in Residence Tutorial for June and it is the Theme Challenge.  Red White and Blue is the order of the day - do I sense Independence Day coming up for those in the Northern Hemisphere!?



Imagine Crafts/ Tsukineko Supplies:

  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink - Onyx Black
    IMAGINE Crafts® Fireworks!™ Craft Spray in Danube Blue,
    IMAGINE Crafts® Fireworks!™ Craft Spray in Lady Bug Red

    IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaMark™ Watermark Ink
  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Desert Sand
  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Daubers™
  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® StazOn® Solvent Inks in Midnight Blue
  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® StazOn® Solvent Inks in Blazing Red
  • IMAGINE Crafts® Embossing Powder™ in Iridescent
  • IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink in Danube Blue
Preferred Promotional Partners:


Other: Want2Scrap© - Swirls Finesse - Creme, Labels Eighteen Nestabling; Heat Tool; blue card stock



I started by spraying some IMAGINECrafts® Fireworks!™ Craft Spray in Danube Blue and Fireworks!™ Craft Spray in Lady Bug Red on white card, using the Want2Scrap© Bricks Stencil.  You can see some of the shimmer in the photo below - in real life there is so much more!





Next stamp the Butterfly from the Penny Black®, Inc. - butterfly symphony stamp set using

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaMark™ Watermark Ink.  Now emboss it using the
IMAGINECrafts® Embossing Powder™ - Iridescent and a Heat Tool.




Cut out the butterfly (fussy cut) and sponge using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® StazOn® Solvent Inks - Midnight Blue and StazOn® Solvent Inks - Blazing Red with a IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Dauber™.  You will notice the effect the IMAGINE Crafts® Embossing Powder™ in Iridescent has on the Ink - it has turned it such a pretty shimmery pink.




Cut and emboss white card using the Labels Eighteen Spellbinders® Nestabilities®, using the Die as a Stencil, sponge using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Desert Sand and a Sponge Dauber™ 

Stamp the  JustRite® Papercraft image using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink - Danube Blue, cut and emboss using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® and the  Labels Twenty Nestabilities®  





Cut and emboss the handmade patterned paper using the A-2 Fancy Postage Stamps  Nestabilities® Card Creator, stenciling lightly on the inside edges of the Die using Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Desert Sand.  Adhere the Die Cut patterned paper onto Blue card, followed by the stenciled  Labels Eighteen.

Adhere the Want2Scrap© Labels Eighteen Nestabling onto the coordinating Die This is followed by the Die Cut JustRite® Papercraft image, also popped by on foam tape.  Layer the butterfly onto the lower right corner of the layers, using glue and adding foam tape under each wing to pop it up.


  

Finish off by adding some Want2Scrap© -creme pearls onto the center of the butterfly and a Swirls Finesse - Creme down the left hand side - as you can see in the finished photo.



I hope you have enjoyed my Tutorial and are inspired to being out all of the shimmery Red White and Blue and create something special.
