 ---------------------------------------------

This week's challenge is:

Inspired By: ANYTHING GOES

Here's some inspiration:

I started out with white tags and white ribbon

I painted all four tags varying colors of the sapphire and the buttercup ,
while they were drying, I painted  half the ribbon buttercup and the other half Sapphire

I embossed the black checker board stamped image in black on all the tags, to give them the consistency of a set.  For the Large image I embossed them with white, For the Alice tag I embossed her first and then painted over her. The effect is different than the others.

The embossing powder is super fine  and gives a very detailed image. The stamps I used were very detailed and the images came out beautifully.

I used Crafty Secrets "Greetings from Wonderland" and Stampendous " Wonderland."

The tag die is from PTI

the ribbon is from my stash.

A little tip:

I found that coffee filters work really well for many things, but especially for putting embossing powder  on small areas, I use two per color and the when you are done, you just either throw them away or make flowers out of them. I had so much fun with this project can you tell?

Art and crafting should be fun .

. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with this week's challenge!!
Remember you do not need to use CI Paints on your projects but if you have them we would LOVE to see how you used them!!
As always thanks for stopping by and
have a great and blessed week!

This week's challenge is:

Inspired By: Anything Goes

Here's some inspiration:

I know you are all excited about this challenge and we get a lot of entries. I created this flower from a 
spellbinders die cut.


I used the Creative Inspirations shimmering paints to match the colors in the background of the
 patterned paper

I used the Creative Inspirations shimmering paints to match the colors in the background of the
 patterned paper

The cut file is from SVGcuts.com
The patterned paper I used is Graphics 45 Bird song

The colors I used that matched beautifully are gold, amethyst  and canary. The very center is a jeweled inspiration. I tend to like these a lot if you have noticed

Inside my lamp is a battery operated tea light that you can get almost anywhere for a couple of dollars

Best Wishes- For a lovely lady

CLICK HERE for the DL.ART Thankful Thursday LINKY PARTY challenge ending February 28, 2013





Hi Everyone,

 I have an extra post day over at Creative Inspiration paints.  I needed to make a card  for my younger sister who just became engaged.  I always wish her the Best of Everything.  That is why I used the shimmering paints and these fine papers and  I went with the vintage look, what do you think?

Here is a close up of the flowers 

  **************************************************

Creative inspiration shimmering paints used: 

 Sky blue, Mellow yellow, Orange , Rose quartz

The paper I used is from Graphics 45  "A Lady's Diary". I used the sky Blue to paint the chip board bird and the label and one of the flowers.  The flowers were white but I wanted them to match the floral background paper and the shimmering colors were perfect. My card base is PTI blueberry sky. The ribbon is from my stash.  The best wishes is an inchie stamp from inkadinkadoo stamped with Versamark onyx black ink.

Also here is a reminder for the
Anything goes challenge, we would love to see your projects and you have a chance to win some CI paints, open until Feb 23
If you use CI paints on your projects you will get two entries. The competition is randomly drawn. So everyone has a chance.

Good Morning Friends,

It is my design day at Creative Inspiration Paints, and with Valentine's Day around the corner it just seemed like a valentine card would be in order.  I painted this image using 4 different shimmering paints
Beige for the face, and winter frost for the cute little woolly body. For the legs I mixed mocha  latte and winter frost together and for the hoofs I used the mocha latte alone.  The arrows and the hearts were painted with garnet.  This is a bugaboo digi stamp.

I had so much fun painting this image 

Creative inspiration shimmering: mocha latte, winter frost,
                                                 beige and garnet


I printed the digi image out on Bazzill card stock
My card stock I s PTI pure poppy.
The designer paper I used is Carta Bella Devoted.
If you have any questions please ask?

Creative Inspiration-Inspired by Your favorite stamps

Happy Sunday Morning Friends,

I hope you will join the challenge this week at  Creative inspiration paints ?
 the THEME: Your favorite stamps
Here is my card I hope you enjoy it and are inspired.  I interpreted the theme to mean, the type of stamps I like. I really like stamps that say thank you on them, I have quite a few but never enough, because I just don't think you can ever say thank you enough.  I also have grown to like flourishes, just recently so it is my new favorite.  I decide to combine the two and I used Deliquesce black to make the back ground of the card
I masked the area where gold glitter would go and then I used versamark onyx black ink for the stamped Inkadinkadoo sentiment.

I absolutely love these embossing powders they are so super fine here is a link  Creative Inspiration products:
I used PTI Vanilla cream for my base, I embossed and glittered  on true black. The stamped sentiment is on vanilla cream also

For a chance to win some CI paints, just enter the challenge.  If you use CI paints on your projects you will get two entries. The competition is randomly drawn. So everyone has a chance, you will have until Saturday Jan 26th to link your project up. The challenges are now everytwo weeks and you have 2 weeks to enter.

Let It Snow

Happy Sunday Morning Friends,

Don't you just love these fun challenges at Creative inspiration paints ?
 the THEME: Anything goes
Here is my card I hope you enjoy it and are inspired and I hope you will enter the challenge.

I absolutely love these embossing powders they are so super fine here is a link  Creative Inspiration products:
I used PTI Blueberry sky for my base, the rest of the papers are from Graphics 45, the dry embossed snowflakes are on Bazzill paper

I used  Creative Inspirations Deliquesce super sparkle red and clear -- it is super fine, did I already say that? It is true, it is amazing

Look closely at the girl I used clear over the whole image to get the effect that is there, it gives it an icicle appearance, very chilling, if I say so myself.

I love how it embossed.

So what is the challenge, again
 Anything goes  for a chance to win some CI paints, If you use CI paints on your projects you will get two entries. The competition is randomly drawn. So everyone has a chance you will have until Saturday Jan 5th to link your project up.
