Hi y’all!  I had a little break in blogging and now I am back to share a fun bucket of flowers with you.
I know that Sunday is Mother’s Day, and this would make a great everlasting Mother’s Day bouquet for sure, but I decided to create a birthday card as this is a class project I am teaching for the end of the month.
I started with a cut file from SVG Cuts and used that for the bucket and the roses. The blue flowers are a Silhouette cut file.  I used Tombow Mono Multi to put the bucket together.  A tip when using Mono Multi on a project like this is to use the Mono Multi sparingly.  If you glop on too much, the paper will become saturated and it will take way to long to dry.  To attach the print panels to the bucket I used Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive. 
For each of the flowers, I sponged the petals and then glued them together with Tombow Mono Multi, stacking the petals catty wompus of each other so that the pieces form a flower. I did this for both types of flowers.  To add a finishing touch to each of the blue flowers, I adhered a button to the center using a 1/4 of a Tombow Power Tab.  The Power Tabs are clear and very easy to cut with your regular scissors.
To create the card I used some Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive to adhere the print papers to the card.  The flower was created as I stated above.  The leaves were embossed and then folded in the center to add some dimension.  I attached the leaves with Tombow Foam Tabs.
Here is a picture of the completed project.  I really think this would make a great gift for someone special.

Every crafter has an Achilles Heel and mine is everything masculine!! As much as I try I always end up adding a touch of super girly like shimmer, sequins, beads or bling. This one has a little of all that. I tried my best but I couldn’t help myself.

 I embossed the glassine bag and then added a little shimmer of mist. Then I put the sequins inside and I sewed it on the the base of the card. I colored the cute robot with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and I used the Foam Tabs to pop him up a bit.

 To put the card together I used the Stamp Runner Dot Adhesive and for the sequins outside of the box and gluing the bow twine I used the Mono Aqua Liquid Glue that has a small dispenser at the top for smaller jobs like these and it dries completely clear.

When it comes to crafting what is your Achilles’s Heel?

I hope you enjoyed my post!!

I have another Inky Antics box/project to share with you today. So far this week, we have had spring like weather, so maybe the snow is behind us now. Just a week ago today we had snow!

I used Inky Antics X1-0021 Gift Bag Template and Trudy’s 11156MC Swirly Butterfly set. I love using Mono Multi Liquid Glue to adhere boxes together. The images are colored with Irojiten Dictionary Colored Pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used the Mono Aqua Liquid Glue to add glitter to the butterflies.

Using the dot patterned Stamp Runner, I added lots of scallop borders, designer paper, and lacy tag and you have a fun springy gift box to fill with goodies for someone special.

Thank you for stopping by,

I thought I would share with you the drawing, even though it needs finishing,  that I started at NAMTA (International Art Material Trade Show) that was held this past week in Minneapolis. I used the Irojiten Colored Pencils, Vol. 3, Deep Tone 1. I would also like to thank Canson for the paper I used (my favorite is the Mixed Media paper) and Studio Design for the awesome drawing table used during the show at our booth.

For the texture in the leaves I used the scrumbling technique. It gave them an old, decomposing appearance. I used crosshatching for the spaces between the leaves.

The impressed technique was used to make the veins in the leaves, the detail in the acorns and the lettering on the pencils.

The squirrel’s fur was rendered using the strike stroke – which is still needing lots of work!

IMG_1233

Basic blending and layering was used on the wooden sign and the dragonfly holding the Tombow banner.I used the Dual Brush Pen Colorless Blender on the wooden sign to soften and blend the colors together. Now back to the drawing board to finish the drawing!
