Something round

 

It is now officially Spring in the Northen Hemisphere with a riot of colour, flowers, birds, and new coats for our furry family! The lengthing of the day and brightening of colour inspired me to decorate the round frame.

Basic frame, back and stand painted with acrylic paints and the sunflower built up with stamps, coloured pens and inkpads the top coat of the petal's is acylic paint. The outer frame stamped in white with the small bunch of flowers, yellow sakura souffle pen. Finally Karen's flowers these come in packs of four with disks in their centre. Only needed three here these were coloured with Promarkers.

LEAVES & FRAMES!

Hello, its Karen here again & I have been getting bright & funky with some chippie!  I have made up a 5x7inch canvas...

I used a coupleof lovely leaves & 2 of the little frames I designed...

I have used a mixture of Eco Acrylic paint & Dylusions Mica Spray on the canvas & the chipboard.  Then gone over in parts with modge podge & crackle accents.

Thank you for taking a look today.  Don't forget to leave a comment to say that you have been, we love to read them, HUGS XXXX

KARENS FRAMES - PART ONE

I have to say that I am soooo chuffed that Di made up these teensy frames.  I was trawling through the internet and just couldn't find any that I liked so I designed some myself.  The idea is that they are teensy so that they can be used on atc's, twinchies, cards....well anything you like.  You could even make pendants with them.  They have all been cut so that the centres and the hearts pop out for you to use separately if you wish.  Today I am showing you what I have done with 4 of them....

I got my distress & adirondack inks & a few stamps out for these and kept to the same colours throughout. The fancy paper I made up myself with the inks & a squirt of gold glimmer mist before scrunching up.

The GOTHIC ARCH on this ATC has been smooched with Adirondack cranberry, then glossy accents & a sprinkling of gold glitter added.  I have plans to make this one into a doorway next time!

Another ATC, this time using the small arch. The centre is 1inch square. I rubbed distress ink on, then when dry I overstamped with the same colour & then embossed. This way it has a 2 toned effect. I coloured the centre square (which is perfect for an inchie by the way) and stamped before puting it back into the frame.

 

A MAIL SLIDER this time and I played with the FLOWER FRAME.  I treated it in the same way as above but I put a piece of stamped card in the centre. I can see this on a layout with childrens faces inside haha

Lastly I made a CARD using the MULTI-LOOP frame.  This one has been coloured and glossy accents & glitter added.  I stamped on the inside square & then embossed it but the pic hasn't come out too well...sorry :(   I placed the square at a different angle to create depth.  I can see a pendant out of this shape haha

Next time I will show you the rest of the little frames.  Thank you for joining me today, I hope you have liked these.  HUGS XXX
