Cheerful Monday #32 - Let's Stencil

Stencils are so wonderful to use in any art project, they are so versatile and can also be used with any colouring medium ... just brilliant. For Vicki's challenge: Let's Stencil I created a card with an inky stencilled background

 a scalloped white cardbase

the card panel stencilled (StencilGirl) with various blue coloured distress inks

and misted with Perfect Pearls while the stencil was still in place after the inking

a lacey heart, a Mulberry flower with some Stickles and a stamped sentiment (Elzybells)

Hope you can join us for the challenge, Petra!

Tag Tuesday - Tattered and Torn

This week's Tag Tuesday theme is: Tattered and Torn which came in very handy as I have a big clean-up of my craft supplies at the moment and I seem to find all these bits and pieces of lost and now found left-overs behind the desk, in some corners ... some are a bit tattered some are torn. I created my tag from pieces I have been gathering over the last weeks... and later I found a few more  (lol)

 

  

 ripped corrugated paper layered with part of a vintage ledger and some torn cotton lace

  

an adorable little girl's image (Graphics Fairy) with distressed edges embellished with a 'squashed' vintage fabric button, a little mulberry flower and a stamped sentiment (Lili of the Valley) on torn cotton;

 

the paper beads are handmade from old tattered musical sheets, attached with a rusty safety pin

Hope you enjoy looking at my tag as much as I loved making it! 

have a lovely Sunday, Petra.

Lunagirl - Lady Blue

Lady Blue - the current challenge at Lunagirl Moonbeams. I love a striking blue colour ... and it goes so strikingly with white!

Unfortunately it does not go very wel with my camera ... my apologies for the not so good photo.

To create the card I started with a longish plain white card. I added a dry-embossed white card panel and three images from the Lunagirl Vintage Blue collage sheet which I diecut with Sizzix dies. As embellishments I used some tiny blings and a ribbon.

Hope you can join us for the challenge, it would be lovely to see you and your art! Petra.

Cheerful Monday #31 - Framed Lady

This is the second week of Vicki's tag challenge. For my project I combined two wonderful images from Lunagirl, the lady from the Beautiful Women Vintage Labels collage sheet and the frame from the Victorian Elegance Tags. It looks as if they were made for each other!

 

I layered them on patterned paper from BoBunny which I decorated with some stamping (stamps: Hamptopn Art and Stampendous) and German Scrap. To finish the tag I added a couple of half-pearls

and a handmade tassel from embroidery thread. It was the first time I made a tassel but it was so easy and great fun.

For more fabulous inspiration and the chance to win some wonderful images from Lunagirl, just pop over to the Cheerful Stamp Pad, hope to see you there! Petra.

Tag Tuesday - Beads Buttons and Bows

The three B's for Tag Tuesday ... three of my favourite items when it comes to crafting.  And I managed to keep it simple, no over the top bit I restraint myself (lol): one dotty button, one lacey bow and one little stary bead

 

arranged on a recycled cardboard heart painted with London Bus Fresco paint and covered with Glossy Accents.

 Thank you for popping in today. And a very warm welcome to new followers, thank you for following my blog! Wishing you all a lovely Sunday, Petra.

Cheerful Monday #30 - Birthday Tag

Vicki's new challenge at the Cheerful Stamp Pad could not be more clear and just right up my street: Tags. At the moment I always seem to end up making those (lol)

For this tag I combined an adorable vintage girl's image (Lunagirl Moonbeam)

with patterend paper from Echo Park.

I added the writing to the image before printing it and did some machine stitching to attach the image to the 

patterend paper. The only little embellishment is a little resin birdready to say: Happy Birthday.

For more wonderful inspiration, please pop over to Vicki's blog. 

Hope to can join us for the challenge! Petra.
