Believe in your heart by Magali

I am here today to share a layout made
with some new chipboards and the Fortune Teller Collection from 7 Dots Studio.

As I love layering papers, I love layering chipboards too!
In order to show all the details of the layering,
I've painted the leaves with gold paint
and added the gold leaves on raw chipboards.

Don't you find the 7 Dots Studio phrase stickers are just perfect with this bird chipboards?

 

For this layout, I used the following products:

Believe chipboard

 

Home Grown Mash

Leafy Mash

Bird and Branch

 

Set Sail Flair

 

Doodle Border Stamp

Prima Life Journal!

I'm so super thrilled and honored to be a part of one of the Prima Life Journals!

Prima has sent out a few Mixed Media journals to various artists, they've been decorated and are now being passed around among crafters who are each being asked to fill a page!

The journal I have the pleasure of adding a page to originated with Frank Garcia who passed it to Chrissy Colon, who has now given it to me :) 

I finished my page a couple evenings ago and now have it to share with you!

The image of my planner is blurry on purpose, so you can't read my business ;)

The stamp is from Viva Las VegaStamps!.

The punchinella stencil and washi tape are from Gauche Alchemy.
Canvas tape, flowers, vine, butterfly, leaves, paper and bling are all from Prima.

Distress ink in walnut stain and archival ink in black from Ranger.

Glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.

Punch by Marhta Stewart.

Brad by My Mind's Eye.

I chose to my page about list making, because I am FOREVER making lists, crossing things off... adding things I've already done JUST to cross them off :)

Thanks for looking - wait till you see who it's going to next :D

Dear Child - Let your creativity SOAR tag

I recently got the chance to work with some fabulous Gauche Alchemy pieces.. they put together vintage and ephemera kits. Super fun!! I teamed up the VLVS! DT with the GA DT and fun was had by all :)

here is my finished piece for the team up:

p.s... yes.. that is my Goobaloo bent down coloring with chalk :) he loves it so!!

I used the Bird In Flight stamp from VLVS! and I used a star punchinella from GA as a mask. I also used some beads from a trim they sent me to form my clouds. Which by the way are held together using Gel Medium! What a super neat effect it is has so thick and "gloopy".

I also used Distress Ink in walnut stain, broken china, and pine needles, the TH ray embossing folder, TH soar alphas and bubbles, TH tags die, memento ink, white cardstock, an american crafts pen, turquoise wire, water, crystal lacquer, pop dots, hot glue and recycled packaging.

I'll be entering this in the Layered challenge @ SimonSaysStampandShow as well as the pastels with a pop of color challenge @CropChocolate.com

Basically Bare Tag! -Time Flies-

I'm loving working with the Basically Bare products so much -- they're fun to completely alter.. fun to leave blank.. and fun to add just the right touch to. 

Here is a tag I did for the blog that aired this week - Lots of distressing, spritzing, splattering, and metal alteration via markers and inks on this baby. For the bird I just did a lovely foam application around his edges.. so super cool! 

Supplies used: Basically Bare bird embellishment, Paper Loft cardstock and clock, espresso alcohol ink, brads of various metal finishes, a gear style bit from the hardware store, black Memento ink, a stamp, TH Tags die, distress ink in Spiced marmalade, mustard seed, vintage photo, and walnut stain.

My Creation:

(is this photo blurry??)

Don't be afraid to cut out parts of stamps you like.. or to stamp them and then cut into the image --- I do love the lights that are originally strung on top of this "Have a Merry Christmas" but for this application I decided the image would be better with out them! Easy peasy.. just cut them away!

I have also managed to base my tags off of Linda (The Funky Junkie)'s 12 tags! So I will be linking up there each day :) Today's is linking to tag 4 -- I loved yesterday's background (as did all of you I noticed!) so much that I recreated it.. a little lighter and a bit more green..  I loved the animal Linda had, the cheesecloth AND the icesicles. 

Thanks for stopping by!! You're on your way to Susan's Blog next!!!
