Never More Designs Gothic Challenge

I had some fun with this month's Challenge Image over at Never More Designs Gothic Image Challenge .

To be honest, I wasn't too sure what I was going to do with this great image this month.

Then I thought why not a wand ...... 

Once it was made, I needed something to hold it......look what happened!

 

Winter is Coming!!!!!!!!!

LOL, you know nothing Jon Snow. It's Summer in Australia!

Ok, so it is super simple to create, a straw, some feathers and some card stock that you score and fold and glue....that's it, not too hard.

Of course you may or may not have yourself a Game Of Thrones collection or two, three, so that is optional.

OMG I seriously had too much fun at the end of this project I have to tell you. You can bet now I will be looking to see what else I can use my collection for when I am creating.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Gecko Galz Steampunk Monthly Challenge

This month's Challenge Image over at Gecko Galz Steampunk Monthly Challenge is sooooo beautiful! A Steampunk Crow!

I love this image!

I wasn't sure what to create so left it for a few days and then decided a fun tag / bookmark was the road to travel.

 

I decided that I wanted to layer the wing to enhance the cogs ..... yes 6 layers in total!

I printed the image with the saying on it as one layer. 

The saying is from Gecko Galz Words in Dark Collage Set.

I sponged the edges with Distress Ink and then set about fussy cutting my wing bits.

I used foam squares to mount them and then my Gold Wink of Stella Brush pen to add some highlights and shimmer when tilted. 

Lastly I grabbed some black card stock and made my tag.

Adhered image and then some ribbon and lace from my stash to complete.

I am also entering the following Challenges:

Crafts Galore Encore # 94

Creative Moments # 228

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Never More Designs Gothic Challenge

Another month and new Challenge over at Never More Designs Gothic Image Challenge a little bit different this month,

Another page in my coffee stained journal.

A quote I found on Google that I though fit the image we have to work with.

 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Never More Designs Gothic Challenge

I love this month's Never More Designs Gothic Image Challenge, she reminders me of Wednesday!

I decided to continue in the coffee stained signature booklet I started last month with the cover.

I thought if I put the image on the right hand page, I have the left side to journal on. LOL, works for me! I know it's pretty plain looking, but it's practical and it's right for me and my style.

My words are from Ephemoire, Word Strip #3 file in my stash.

So next month, I turn the page and create another layout.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Never More Designs Gothic Challenge

Never More Designs Gothic Image Challenge is quite interesting this month.

I wasn't too sure what I would create, but ended up using the image on another of my Coffee Stained signatures I made.

I love the papers in this signature.

I used an old baking tray to stain the papers and left in the tray to dry for a few days. 

I was surprised with the goldish marks that come out - very steampunk, gothic look to it with the black marks a long with the rusty ones.

My sentiments are from Dina Wakley Media Collage Words.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Never More Designs Gothic Challenge

I meant to join in last month's Gothic Challenge over at Never More Designs Blog but ran out of time.

So with time running out again, I got myself organised a bit more and just finished this tag for the February Monthly Gothic Challenge.

I started out with the intention making a Bookmark, but got a bit adventurous and added some lace, ribbon and bling, and now she's a beautiful bookmark/tag to pop in my journal.

The tag is a piece of patterned paper from the Birthday Surprise Mystery box I got from La-La Land Crafts.

I love the black and gold through out it - the gold glitter in it doesn't show up too well in the photo.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creepy Hair clip and planner accessories

Here is something a bit different - planner accessories and hair clip using a file by Ephemoire.

The file I used is The Creepy Closet.

I printed off a few pages from The Creepy Closet files, decided which ones I wanted to use and fussy cut them.

I then popped them through my laminator and fuss cut again. Added a small hole in top and attached clip to each one.

The it was just a matter of adding to jumbo paper clip, band and onto a hair clip.....easy to switch them out as wanted.

I must say, I really like that hair clip!

I hope you like it and I have inspired you to create some tags.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Mixed Media Mini Pocket Envelope

Here is a  Mixed Media Mini Pocket Envelope I made using files by Ephemoire.

The files I used are Goth Boss, and Word Stripz #3.

Using a mini pocket envelope from my stash, I firstly sponged the edges of the envelope using Scattered Straw Distress Ink and added some script stamping (Kaisercraft) with the same ink as I wanted it to be light.

I had previously printed off the Month at a Glance planner page so had already fussy cut the legs image. I printed off the Daily Planner page and fussy cut my skull with wings and added some Glossy Accents to the eye sockets to have them stand out a bit more.

I printed off the Word Strpiz 3 page (1st one) and trimmed all the words and sponged the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Once the glossy accents was dry, I adhered half a gold doily onto my pocket.

I then added some black meshing from my stash and arranged the two images on top. The skull I adhered with foam dots to lift it up a bit. I then adhered my Ancestors wording.

I also adhered a cog and watch rim in the bottom right corner with a brad in the middle.

Lastly I added the trimmed words in the pocket - perfect place to keep them until I use them.

Definitely fun to make and worth giving it a go yourself.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

The Creepy Closet

Here is the second Mixed Media Tag I made using files by Ephemoire.

The files I used are The Creepy Closet and Word Stripz #3.

Using a black tag from my stash, I firstly used an old white stamp pad I had with the Inky Alpha Stencil by Uniquely Creative to give some marks on my tag

I then used a textured woven die (Kaisercraft) to die cut a stencil to use with my light modeling paste (Liquitex) for some added texture.

While that was drying, I printed off page 1 from The Creepy Closet files and fussy cut the middle image. I added some Glossy Accents to the eye sockets to have them stand out a bit more.

I also printed off the Black sheet of words from the Word Stripz 3 files and decided to use Awaken and Ancestors on my tag so I cut them and sponged around the edges with my white ink pad.

I looked through my ribbons and decided on three, but to make the two white ones fit in, I sponged Vintage Photo Distress Ink along them.

Once all dry, I used half of a gold doily and scrunched it up behind my image and adhered onto the bottom corner of my tag.

I adhered the words on some foam tag so they stood up off the tag.

Lastly I added my ribbons.

I hope you like it and I have inspired you to create some tags.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Happy Hallo-wine

Here is a Halloween card I made using a file by Ephemoire.

The file I used is The Creepy Closet.

I started by cutting a piece of patterned paper to fit my black square card base and distressed the edges. I then sponged the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I used a Halloween die from my stash and die cut some bats, and the 2 parts of a haunted house. Once I adhered the top black die to the bottom yellow die cut, I sponged with Black Soot Distress Ink to give a darker effect.

I then printed off page 5 of the file The Creepy Closet and fussy cut the Top Hatted gentlemen and adhered to the bottom right of my page.

I them lined up my sentiment from Jaded Blossom stamp set called Wicked Strong Coffee and stamped it off.

I then adhered my page onto my base and added the bats and the haunted house on foam dots to lift off the page.

Not your traditional Halloween card, but I love how it turned out.

I hope you like it and I have inspired you to create some tags.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Goth Boss Mixed Media Tag

Here is the first Mixed Media Tag I made using files by Ephemoire.

The file I used is called Goth Boss planner sheet.

Using a watercolor paper tag from my stash, I firstly used Distress Oxide inks (Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo & Fossilized Amber) to create my background. 

I sponged the edges of the tag using Scattered Straw Distress Ink and added some script stamping (Kaisercraft) with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I then used a textured woven die (Kaisercraft) to die cut a stencil to use with my  light modeling paste (Liquitex) for added texture.

While that was all drying, I printed off the Month at a Glance planner page and fussy cut both images (one I used on another project) and the glam lady on this tag with the sentiment.

I added some Glossy Accents to the eye sockets to have them stand out a bit more.

Once all dry, I adhered the image and words.

Lastly I added a key and ribbon from my stash.

I am entering her in the following Challenges:

We Love to Create #9

Creative Artiste Challenge #64

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
