A is for...April

a quick project for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge "A is for..."

recipe: first of all I used light modeling paste with Tim's Latticework stencil, after that I applied  Iced Spruce, Tattered Rose, Tea Die and Worn Lipstick distress inks, finally I had the chance to use my newly acquired Tim's stamp set Bird Feather (adore it but I was not sure if I could use it well, I hope turned out not so bad), to tone down bright colours I applied Faber-Castell white gelato and for the finishing touch lots of Perfect Pearls mist ^.^

as you can see below I used a looooooot of Perfect Pearls mist, probably I'm inspired by sunshiny days we have here lately

P.S. thank you for stopping by ^.^

holidays inspiration

These days I'm on a huge Christmas project (in comparison with what I have created so far ^.^) and needed a little break. Just had a bit of inspiration for a few Christmas tags, one of these I think is somewhat like Tim's May tag, well never thought much about it ^.^just wanted to try out my new dies and stamps so simply went for it without any second thought

P.S. thank you for stopping by ^.^ wish you happy crafting and tons of Christmassy inspiration

 

supplies all Tim Holtz ^.^

I'm curious once again. CC3Challenge!

Hello everyone,
recently I stopped by Linda Ledbetter blog, there's a great challenge going on there based on Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities 3 book. And of course when we talking Tim Holtz and Compendium of Curiosities I just can't be not inspired ...
as the challenge rules state, I can't share with you the technique, but I guess I can say that I was in the mood for some recycling, so as a base I used craft paper bag the rest are some Tim's supplies (stencil, paint, stamps, die, ) and embossing powder. I actually was a bit amazed with the result, it turned out much better than I anticipated. Also I noticed that the embossing powder reacted with the craft paper creating contour around the paint, it looks like very fine shadow effect,so awesome... I wonder if I can achieve it on other craft surfaces

after that few more ideas and I came up with card made from Ranger manila tag

 P.S. thank you for stopping by ^.^ wish you crafty inspiration

oh! almost forgot the sponsor of the challenge ^.^

inspiration from Tim June tag ^.^

Today I'm creating with Tim Holtz. My source of inspiration is his this months June tag 

and here's what I came up with ^.^ hope you like it

 while I was playing with masks and inks I ended up with a looot of amazing backgrounds, which inspired me to make some layouts for my mini album I'm working on now ^.^

and one more with fresh summer feel

P.S. Thamk you for stopping by ^.^ wish you fresh and crafty inspiration 

oh! I'm also sharing this tag at A Vintage Journey for the "wings and things challenge" .Wish me luck ^.^

Creating with Tim.January tag

Today is the day of crafting with Tim Holtz ^.^ for his 12 tags of 2014. This is Tim's amazing tag

and here's my inspired tag 

 

I went for more warm color palette (can't help it, my thing). The clock body is the collaboration of 2 Tim's dies Mini baroque (for this one I just cut the edges for more regular shape) and Pocket watch (I used the upper- handle part of the watch). For the mini quotes I used Urban Tapestry text stamp(just hide the words you don't need with masking tape and stamp away!!! :))))

              Thank you for stopping by^.^ wish you creative weekend

ohh I almost forgot!! Just wanted to share with you a little sneak peek of the project I'm working on now

                               loooove the texture^.^
P.S. and now..The End. ^.^ see you in 2 weeks (at laaast going on vacations )
