Spread Your Beautiful Wings

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday! I hope your week has been smooth sailing and you're looking forward to a nice weekend.  I have a quick share for you today featuring a gorgeous Moth from the Beautiful Wings Stamp and Coordinating Die Set by Gina K. Designs.

I'm ashamed to admit I've had this set since January of 2021 and have only inked an image from it once.  I was having a look through the stash and not only found this set but also found some alcohol ink panels I made a few years ago.  Putting those 2 things together, I came up with this design.

The Moth has been colored using Alcohol Markers in colors that matched the panel, which I've cut into various sized strips.  The sentiment has been heat embossed and both the Moth and sentiment strip are popped on foam pads.  I didn't like the "unfinished" look of the strips so I created a frame using 2 stitched rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness.  Lastly, I've added teal blue gems to finish it off.  

I hope I've inspired you to look through your stash and create using something you either haven't used yet or haven't used in a long time.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Krafty Chicks Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello Friends and Welcome!  Today, I'm sharing my last Guest Designer project for the challenge at The Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog.  The theme this week is Anything Goes and I've had a wonderful time this month creating for the challenges.  This month has flown by and I am so thankful the Chicks invited me to join them this month.  

My project today features the lovely Gina K. Design Stamp and Coordinating Die Set Beautiful Wings, which has been illustrated by the super talented Melanie Muenchinger. This card meaures 4.5" square so you can see the dragonfly is quite large.

Using the Diagonal Stitched Square Dies from Pink Fresh Studio, I've cut panels using patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Garden Party 6x6 paper pad.  This card is quite dimensional as I've added craft foam to the top and middle panel.  

I've stamped and colored the Dragonfly using Prismacolor Pencils and cut with the coordinating die.  I also die cut the dragonfly from vellum, placed behind the colored image and adhered all to the top panel with foam pads. The sentiment is from the same set and to finish, I added clear gems and Wink of Stella to the Dragonfly Wings.

I've had a great time as Guest Designer and I invite you to stop by the Krafty Chicks Challenge.  Enter your Anything Goes project, we would love to see what you create!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
