Crafter's Companion Flights of Fantasy

Hello my crafty friends,

GREAT NEWS! The NEW Morgan Fitzsimons Flights of Fantasy CD is now available at Crafter's Companion USA.
 

Because the images are digi, I was able position the images on my computer exactly how I wanted them for printing. The woman is a separate image from the frame. The digi background paper and sentiment tag are also printed from the CD.

I thought the berries on the woman image match perfectly with the Sheena Perfect Partners Brambles Stamp and Die Set. I think everything came together beautifully! Actually, I kind of amazed myself with this one. On several of the "gold" areas, I painted over with Tsukineko Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. What a difference it makes! Gives a rich gold shimmer on top of the marker coloring like NO OTHER!

I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers:

• Skin - TN3, TN2, FS4, CR3
• Hair - IG10, IG8, IG4, HB1
• Golden Colored areas - GB10, GB7 GB6, CT3, GB1
• Berries and Floral - HB3, LV3, LV2, HB1
• Greens - DG3, CG2, DG2, LG1, JG1
• Shadows - GG1, Blender

I added 3D Crystal Lacquer on top of the berries and then sprinkled some Ultra Fine Lavender Glitter on top. I also added a few gold crystal gems on the headpiece and armband on the woman. Even though the sentiment label is a printed digi element, I was able to emboss the letters by using a VersaMark Marker to trace over each letter, add clear embossing powder and heat set.

Destinations Spirit of Adventure

Have you had a chance to see the NEW Destinations Collection that was released over at Crafter's Companion USA? Magnaficient images, sentiments and a Papercrafting Twin CD-ROM! THUD!

Here's a card I made using the new Spirit of Adventure stamp set along with some of the printed digital papers and elements.

This looks like several layers of designer papers, but it's only 3 panels. Just wait till you see all the goodies on the Destinations Papercrafting CD-ROM. Thousands! All I did was print, trim, ink the edges and add glitter to the base layer. No hoarding these beautiful designer papers. Go ahead and cut 'em up. Yeah...YOU know what I'm talkin' about...
  Just print more. ;)

The image and sentiment are stamped on white cardstock, then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and Blendable Colored Pencils

Skin
   Markers: FS2, FS4, TN2
   Pencils: 003, 117
Wings
   Markers: TB1, BT8, BT1, JG1, BT5
   Pencils: 071, 001
Banner and Dress
   Markers: EB1, EB2, BG1, Blender
   Pencils: 112, 117, 001
Hair
   Markers: TN6, TN3

To add sparkle and shimmer on the wings, I added crystal glitter and painted on some Sheer Shimmer Spritz. I also stamped and colored the banner again, cut it out and adhered the ends flat - popping up the center area with foam adhesive. It's a bit time consuming...but the dimension it gives is so worth it!

Yes...it's a popcorn box!

Hello crafty peeps! Here's a project I made using one of the Ultimate Embossing Boards from Crafter's Companion

This is called a lidded popcorn box. I used the Sweet Things Embossing Board along with the Sweet Treats PDF Papercrafting CD-ROM to print the designer paper and red bow.

I used 8" x 8" Black Pearl Shimmering cardstock to create the box. This cardstock is beautiful! It's also the perfect weight for scoring and making it nice & sturdy!

To print the designer paper - I set my printer to use black ink only. Then I added red centers to the flowers with a DR4 Spectrum Noir Marker.

I added a crystal rhinestone in the center of the bow and along the bottom of the tag. This beautiful box design can  be used for any occasion. So simple! Change up the colors and papers for endless design possibilities!

The Ultimate Tool and Sweet Treats Ultimate Embossing Board - Special Treat and Sweet Treats PDF Papercrafting CD-ROM were featured on HSN last week....and completely SOLD OUT! But NO worries! You can purchase them on-line at the Crafter's Companion USA website. :)

Have fun!
