Pink and Main, eBrush, and a whole lot of BLING!!

 Hello Crafty Friends... For today's project I mixed 3 of my favorite crafting things... stamping, ebrushing, and a whole lot of bling!!! 

Our wonderful sponsor, Pink and Main, have the most darling stamps... EVER!!

And when I saw this little cute I just knew I had to bring on the bling!! And, I also knew I could make my own awesome "blinged" embellishments to do it too!! 

Supplies used

Pink and Main's Party Girl Set

Craftwell's eBrush

Spectrum Noir Markers (CG1, CG2, DG2, DG3, CT2, GB5, OR1,LV2,PL2,PL4, FS1, FS3, GB8,TN7,GB10,GBR1)

Momento Ink Pad -Tuxedo Black 

DCWV Adhesive Jeweled Sheet

Ranger White Opaque Pen

Sakura Gelly Roll Pen- Stardust- Clear

Faber-Castell PITT artist pen- XS

Sizzix Steel Rule Dies (photo corners)

Sizzix Sizzlits (ribbons)

Sharpies ( yellow, orange)

Personal Die Cut Machine

Scotch Adhesive Tape

Cardstock

Patterned Paper/ Cardstock

Watercolor Paper

I first stamped my image on watercolor paper using  my Momento ink pad in Tuxedo Black.

Then colored my image in with my Spectrum Noir markers. I added eyelashes to my little girl with my Faber-castell PITT pen and added highlight to my colored image with my gelly roll pen and my white opaque pen.

Then I die cute 4 photo corners out of my bling (adhesive jeweled sheet) and ebrushed them with my Spectrum Noir Markers in LV2 and PL4 & DG2 and DG3. Then mounted them onto black cardstock.

I also hand cut a fluer de lis shape out of more bling.  I wanted it to be two-toned so I ebrushed in yellow and orange and also backed it with black cardstock.

Then I cut die cut strip from my Ribbons Sizzlit die out of purple, yellow, and green carstock. I ebrushed half the strips in the coordinating Spectrum Noir markers.

Then I assembled all my pieces to create my Mardi Gras themed card!! 

and tah-dah...

Very bright and festive!! 

I loved being able to make my own "blinged" embellishments so much I  did another card with more ebrushed bling!

Check out this other cutie from Pink and Main... this one is from the Pretty Princess set. 

I paired this little princess with a cute little buttoned shabbie, and a pretty pink blinged frame and purple feather ( which both were also ebrushed)!

CUTENESS!!

 I love it! I hope you did too!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy BLING crafting!!

Elephant Card

Happy Friday! 
I am pooped! The last two weeks have been soooooooo long and tiring! We visited my mom & dad for the fourth of July and me and the kids  spent part of the afternoon swimming and later that evcening we popped fireworks till after ten. We didn't get home till after midnight.  There is no Red Bull (my equivalent to a cup of coffee) in the house... sigh...
today is gonna be a long day, I just know it!

Now onto the fun stuff...

Here's a cute card I made for this week's Designs on Cloud 9 newsletter.

cute elephant card

I used the Designs on Cloud 9's Lil' Wild Thing file for the elephant, bird, & wagon and for the ornate shape I used Laurie's Labels shape #3. Mod background was a previous freebie from miss kate cuttables. The card measures 5" x 5", the inner mat was cut at 4.75" and so was the label. The assembled elephant measures 3.6" x 2.7" and the wagon measures 4.2" x 1.5".

And let's not forget it's also Freebie Friday at DC9. Todays freebie is...

Travel Icons

You can download it off the Designs on Cloud 9 website here. These would be great with all those family vay-cay & road trip pics you take this summer! Makes me almost want to pack up all four of my rugrats, hop in the car, and  head out onto the horizon seeking adventure...almost.

Ummm... maybe we'll save all those adventures for when they get older and can feed themselves and wipe their own backsides... yes, that sounds like a plan!

Well, while I'm home-bound, I guess I'll just keep on scrapping!

Craft on, my friends... craft on!

Free SVG

HELLO EVERYONE!!! I've been feeling really good the past week and decided to make a svg file to give away on my blog. Just felt like doing something random to day... so ENJOY!

You can download this svg file here... fancy_frame

This makes a great background for layouts or can be used to frame picture within your layouts. Either way it will give your scrapbook pages an elegant touch! Or why not put it on a card? This svg has many possibilities... let's see what you can make with it!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!
