sparkle paste – loopyloocards

Hi there. Another creation to share using the ‘found’ Tim Holtz ephemera:

This is another 5×7 inch card base, with a Kraft piece on top, the edges distressed with some brown Distress Ink.

I also used some Tim Holtz papers, distressing that edge too, and adhered to the card base.

I took another of the Tim Holtz base board pieces, distressed the edge with brown, the used a Tim Holtz stencil to put some glitter paste through parts of the leaves I wanted. Then added the sparkle paste around the edges of the base board.

I used a couple of the sentiment strips from Tim Holtz ephemera pack distressed the edges again with brown, then glued them both down.

Using a snowflake stencil, I mixed some sparkle paste and brown Distress Ink and created some ‘dirty’ snowflakes which would show through the aperture. The poinsettia image was glued down, and then the baseboard added.

The sentiment board – also distressed with brown ink – was glued with collage medium, and the final touch was the bell image – glued to the top of the aperture.

Another creation which was a lot of fun, out of my comfort zone – but I went with it.

Hello. I spent some time in my craft room yesterday and created this card:

I wanted to use this cute little duck from Spellbinders, so I die cut all the elements from some new colours from Concord & 9th.

The background was created using a stencil from Clearly Besotted, ink blending the umbrellas with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink, then stencilling some Ranger glitter paste on top of the umbrellas. Putting that aside to dry, I searched through the Color My Life app for a suitable sentiment, and this came up from Simon Says Stamp on one of their butterfly sets.

I stamped that in Versafine black onyx, and arranged everything onto the card base.

I felt the card needed something else, so I also die cut the umbrella from another Spellbinders set, and added that – thank goodness I didn’t glue the wing down completely on the duck – I was able to slot it in behind.
