Gorjuss Fox Fall Tags!

Hi there! Karla here today, and I hope all my Canadian friends had a Happy Thanksgiving! We had a lovely meal Sunday with family and of course too much yummy dessert, which was sooo good! I think the best is leftovers though - and turkey soup!! Ok, now that we`re all hungry, I`ll show you some cute Fall tags I created for a Happy Mail swap using some small manilla tags, Distress Inks and the cute foxes from one of the Gorjuss Girls stamp sets. I realized that for some reason I must have changed the colour of the first two photos in the editing :0, but the last photo shows the true colours of the tags! Sorry about that! I started by stamping the foxes onto kraft cardstock and colouring them in with coloured pencils before fussy cutting them out.

I sponged on some Antique Linen and Ripe Persimmon Distress Paints through some stencils and then inked over top with Distress Inks. Because the paints create a resist it looks as if they`re popping through the inks - love this effect!

I layered on some stamps from the same set, used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added a few extra stencils and then stamped the stars from the set with Versamark Ink and added Gold Embossing Powder. Lastly I pasted on my cute foxes and added some hemp twine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope you have an awesome week!

Mini Gorjuss Girl Cards!

Karla here today! I just love the Gorjuss Girl stamps, so of course I was so excited to see the mini Gorjuss Girl stamps come out too! While we were away a week ago I brought along some stamps and Distress and Tombow Markers and had some fun watercolouring and paper piecing these images so that when I got home I could make up some cards.

This is one of my favourite stamps of these mini stamps! The little teddy bear is just so sweet :) I was fortunate enough to receive these pretty papers and embellishments in a recent Happy Mail swap, and they worked perfectly to put these cards together.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderful, crafty week!

Drink Me, Tea Cup Card!

Karla here today to share a card made with a sweet stamp I picked up from the Scrapendipity Truck at the make 'n take last week. I just love the Gorjuss Girl stamps and had to have this little one in a tea cup!

I stamped on watercolour paper with Archival Ink and then used Distress Markers to watercolour my image in and used some Teresa Collins papers for my background, matching my markers to the papers. I used the white Distress Marker to add some polka dots.

Inside, I added this single sweet little bunny, which I also watercoloured. A little Abandoned Coral Distress Marker adds a little touch of pink to his ears and cheeks.

This card and the colours remind me of Spring - and I seem to be thinking more and more that I am ready for winter to be over!

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you have a lovely, crafty week!

Happy New Year Art Journal Page!

Hi there friends! Karla here, and I was recently making an art journal page, inspired by the amazing and talented Vicky Papaioannou's New Year Art Journal video, and thought I'd make a little tutorial. Sometimes when you look at a mixed media piece it's hard to pull apart the layers and see where to start. It's really not that hard and following these steps you can create your own piece - either in an art journal, on a canvas, or even on a tag.

Here's a look at my art journal page in my Dylusions Art Journal:

And here are some step by step directions to get you started:

I used a white gel pen to write down my goals and add a few details around the page. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to get out some paints and inks and have fun playing!

Oh So Lovely Gorjuss Girl!

I`m back today with a card featuring the Oh So Lovely collection from Kaisercraft and using the supplies from the Scrapendipity kit as well as a Gorjuss Girl image I had in my stash.

I used some of the woodgrain 12x12 paper and cut it to fit a 5x7 card and then layered on my watercoloured image of this sweet Gorjuss Girl. I used a Kaisercraft diecut tag, a sweet butterfly and some paper strips cut from the collection.

To watercolour this cutie I used the Julie Nutting hair and skin tone Prima Watercolor Pencils (Oh My Gosh they are amazing to use!!) for her face and hair and then Distress and Tombow Markers to watercolour in the rest.

Love the diecuts that are in the Oh So Lovely collection!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you have a very crafty and awesome week!
