Frosted Designs Friday Challenge with Prima Seashore Collection!!!

Hello all and happy Friday!!!  It's time for another wonderful Friday challenge over at Frosted Designs!!!

This challenge is to create any type of project using the following moodboard:

Isn't it lovely?!?  The NEW Prima Seashore Collection in store was perfect for this challenge!!!!

I also used the month's card sketch from Cardabilities:

Here's a look at a card I made:

I'm truly in love with the colors and soft patterns in the collection!!!  

I started with a Kraft Base for my card and began cutting up the papers I wanted to use, inking the edges of each with Prima's Knotted Wood ink.  After layering up my papers, I started adding some coordinating chipboard pieces, inking them up as well!

I used the word stickers from the collection to create my sentiment, adding various other stickers and a metal clip also!

I finished the card with a dragonfly I created using the new Prima Wire Thread in store!!!  This stuff is really fun to play with... The possibilities are endless!!!!

So there you have it!!!  A quick and easy card using nothing but wonderful products from the Frosted Designs Store!!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Playing with Cardabilities and Tim Holtz!!!!

Hello everyone!!!  I hope you have all had a fabulous week so far!!!!  I've been quite the busy bee lately...  Making everything from cards, to layouts, to altered projects!!!  I have several more cards to make and then I should be done for a while :-)

Today, I am sharing with you a card I made for my father.  I wanted a versatile sketch that could be made into a masculine card as my father is a "manly" man!!!  Hahaha!!!  Any who, I found it through Cardabilities!  I knew the second I saw it that it was perfect for style I was going for!!! 

Here's a look at the sketch:

I took out some Tim Holtz papers that I always fall back on when making something for my husband and father and came up with this:

Pretty masculine, right?!?

I started with cardstock from several different Tim Holtz paper pads and distressed the edges with black soot distress ink.  I used Ranger's glossy cardstock to emboss the gears and cogs, then inked it up heavily with various distress inks.  I fussy cut the clocks from one of the pattern papers and matted them with black cardstock.

I added some metal gears and spinners for an added "masculine feel".  I just LOVE the film tape by Tim Holtz and really love adding photos to it!!!  I picked out some of my favorite photos and added them behind the tape.  

I finished it with a metal sentiment piece that reads "Capture Life's Moments" (PERFECT for the film tape!!!) and hemp cord.  

Well gang...  Thanks soooo much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
