Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 8 !!!

It's time for another challenge at



                                            Challenge #8 Show us Some Metal or Glass
Do you hoard gears, pins, brads, eyelets, frames, and other metal do-dads? Do you have a thing for tiny light bulbs and glass vials? Do junk drawers make you giddy? Do you hang out in office supply stores so you can score funky paperclips? Do bottle caps make you swoon? Dig through your hoard to find something metal or glass (or both) and make a project to share!


This is what I created for the challenge.
I took World Win Cardstock And using Stencil Girl & Crafter's Workshop stencils
with acrylic paint created my own background
Supplies:
Cardstock: World Win Papers
Stencils: Stencil Girl Stencils, Crafter's Workshop
Acrylic Paint: Golden Fluid Acrylic, Liquitex
Stamp: Sin CIty Stamps
Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
Chipboard, Metal Tape, Embossing Folder

The butterflies are created using SinCity stamps on more World Win Cardstock,
fussy cutting them and then sewing them to a piece
For my metal I covered chipboard with metal tape
and ran it through an embossing folder for some texture

Closeup of the background.
I wrote words of wisdom to my daughter on it as a final touch.

Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 7!

It's time for another challenge at

                                          Challenge #7 Ribbon, Lace, and Twine, Oh My!
Show us your fiber side! Use ribbon, lace or twine on your project. Dig into your hoard and share how creative you can be with fibers! You may use ribbon, lace, twine, embroidery floss, string, yarn, fabric, etc. As long as you have something in the "ribbon" family on your project, you are good to go!



This is what I created using my 
packet of yellow & grey coordinating ribbons
from the April club assortment from

I used the ribbon instead of paper creating a matte for my
photo and sewing the strips onto my paper.
                              
The background is created
by stamping with Pan Pastels,
dripping Golden Fluid Acrylic paint and finally
scraping Modeling Paste through a Crafter's Workshop stencil
then coloring it with Pan Pastels once dry.

                               
                                                 Here you can see some of my ribbon strips,
                          as well as chipboard from Blue Fern Studios painted with fluid acrylic paint.

                             
                                                               More of my ribbon strips.
                                 I stamped the sentiment (Sin City Stamps) onto a leftover piece
                                                     of the ribbon then adhered it to my photo.
                             
Supplies:
Acrylic Paint: Golden
Modeling Paste: Liquitex
Flowers: Recollection
Chipboard: Blue Fern Studios
Stencil: Crafter's Workshop
Ink: Ranger
Stamps: Kaisercraft, Sin City, & Fontwerks
