Be My Valentine!

This is one of my favorite creations and let me tell you that it took hours to make. I poured my heart and soul into it for my hubby! The hearts, wings, gears, body form were cut from CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I cut each image eight to twelve times and glues them together on top of each other with CTMH Memory Bonding Glue Pen. To get the glazed look I finished the tops of each image with CTMH Liquid Glass.

 

I made the card into an easel card and used CTMH Metal Mini Medley Accents. The cardstock background was scored, inked distress in Desert Sand and Ruby Ink. I used a small scalloped strip of CTMH Glitter paper, For Always pattered paper, Black And Bamboo cardstock. I used a little bit of Slate Polka Dot ribbon.

This is the card open all the way. I carried the CTMH Glitter paper an For Always pattern paper to the inside of the card. I wings image is sponged on White Daisy cardstock by using the negative from the front image with Black ink.   

Here is a side view of the front of the card. For the heart, it is stamped using CTMH Universal Background stamp set and Ruby ink on Ruby cardstock, layered with Black Tull, and the reverse side of the For always paper. I then hand stitched all the layers together and used CTMH Bitty Sparkles over the stitching. Six layers total.

I hope this inspired you to create!

Adorable 3 x 3 Cards w/ Matching Box........

 This cute 3 x 3 cards and matching box was created using our "Clementine" paper pack and coordinating cardstock. I showcased this project at our National convention where I taught an extravaganza class. I 

featured our dimensional elements and them inked them out to match my paper. There is a resist on the "DE" so when the ink is applied, the resist will show white and the ink is on the negative space..   

I also incorporated the matching "Clementine" fabric assortments, metal pins, rosette ribbon and our durable studs to complete the look of the box. All the edges were sponged with saddle ink. I hope this inspires you to get creating!  ~ Creatively yours ~ Victoria

Cute decorated Wine Bottle

Here is a piece of artwork that I made for extravaganza using our southwest style paper called "Clementine" I made paper flowers using the Circut Art Philosophy cartridge. I created the leather effect on the Saddle cardstock by crumpling the paper & then inking the ridges. After that, I spread a thin layer of liquid glass to give it a glossy finish. Pearl flourishes, ribbon and metal charms finished the look. For special effect, I added a small string of lights to the inside of the bottle and held wire in place with the cork.  Hope you enjoy this home decor piece of artwork. ~ Creatively yours ~ Victoria
