You light up the room

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a journal spread. It's a little steampunky! 

Here's how I made these pages:

FIrst, I coloured the pages with Distress Oxide inks in Broken China, Speckled Egg and Antique Linen. I then used a blending tool with Ground Espresso and stencilled the coffee rings from #147 here and there. I also went around the pages with the same colour to frame the pages. 

Next I smooshed some of the Ground Espresso on my craft mat and added water for splatters.

Nest I did some stamping with sets #443 and #457 with the same Broken China Distress Oxide and some Versafine Clair Nocturne. 

Adding some pieces of washi tape. This is #106 Bolted Borders.

The image I used got stamped, coloured and cut out. I didn't bother with the text around it. 

Adding some ephemera from set #65.

The sentiment from set #47,

Lastly I used a graphite pencil and a blending stump to add some shading around the images and the areas where the washi tape and the ephemera are. It all looks a little 'dirty' now. 

I have used the following AALL & Create materials :

Washi tape #106 - Bolted Borders by Bipasha Bk

Ephemera #65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk

Ephemera #47 - Laugh Lines by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stencil #147 - Coffee Stains by Bipasha Bk

 Hi everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing another card for AALL & Create. 

Here is how I made it:

First I cut out a card with Die #34. I used 250 gsm card stock.

I then put washi tape all over. I used the #121 Blush Parcels tape. I love it ! The colours are amazing. 

Next I spent some time stamping these butterflies. I stamped them first with Versafine Clair in Morning Mist (grey) I then reinked with different colours Distress Oxide ink and spritzed with water. I then stamped over the top of the grey. I did use a stamping tool for positioning perfectly. 

Distress Oxide colours used: Dusty Concord, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Salvaged Patina, Broken China.

I toned down the background slightly with white acrylic paint, particularly where the butterflies were going to go. I do this so the focal images stand out more. I also added a tiny bit of stamping (sets #366 and #1110), not too much as I really liked this background.

Also added some rub-ons from set #12. 

Chose my sentiment from Ephemera set #47.

I then coloured a piece of card stock with Distress Oxide ink Dusty Concord with a blending tool and cut out the mat from the same die set #34. 

And here it is. I think it turned out nice and soft and feminine.

Whatever...

 Hi everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a card. 

Here's how:

I cut the biggest of the two cards with die set #26 from Designer Paper Pack #11. 

Today I was concentrating on Bipasha's products so used background stamps by her. I used #555 and #457 with Versafine Clair in Twilight and VersaMark with WOW embossing powder 'Metallic Copper'. 

The embossing powder looks really cool and metallic. 

Next I added some of the ephemera pack #65. I really like this steampunk/vintage collection. I had to cut some of the pieces to make them fit but that was just part of the fun. 

For the focal image I wanted to use this little kitten. I got rid of the hat by masking it off and drawing in the very top of his head. I also stamped him on the card directly so I could cut off all the little hairs of his fur. 

Finally I chose one the the ephemera stickers from set #52 as a sentiment. I think it turned out cool!.

I have used:

Design Paper #11 - Rusty Rhythms by Bipasha Bk

Die #26 - Frayed Frames

Ephemera:

#65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk

#52 - Comic Tags by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stamps:

#457 - Background Voices by Bipasha Bk

#555 - Lined Plus by Bipasha Bk

#1138 - Macaron Mountain by Bipasha Bk

Washi tape #106 - Bolted Borders by Bipasha Bk

A new era of imagination

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a card I made for AALL & Create. I used some of Bipasha's new Steampunk Collection for this. I really like the vintage vibe. 

Here's how I made it:

I started off with a piece of the Bipasha's Design Paper (#11). I didn't cut it down because I didn't want to lose the dark areas along the sides. 

I added some stamping with parts of stamps #1225 - #443 and #568. 

Next I added some Rub-ons from sets #5 and #12. 

I love this Ephemera #65 and glued some of that on too. It is getting busy !!!! 

I stamped the phone with the flower from set #1225 to colour and cut out. This is my focal point. 

I then put down some washi tape here and there. and some brown splatters. I also put some staples through the Ephemera. 

And here is the finished project. I like all the browns and greys because besides bright colours I also love Vintage. I should do it more often! 

I have used the following materials:

Design Paper #11 - Rusty Rhythms by Bipasha Bk

Ephemera #65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk

Washi tape #39 - Scriptual by Bipasha Bk

Rub-ons:

#5 - Acid Blends by Autour De Mwa & Co

#12 - Coffee Numberistic by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stamps:

#443 - Scripted Circles by Bipasha Bk

#568 - ABCs by Bipasha Bk

#1162 - Cirque by Autour De Mwa & Co

#1225 - Lens & Lines by Bipasha Bk
