Snowman Chipboard Love

Hello Friends!!

Heather here and today I would like to share with you another
Guest Design Piece I have done using 

Gina's Chipboard 
and some fabby Ribbons and trims from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon.

First up I have a couple snowmen that I have done in a shabby chic style using Gina's Snowman Banner and My Floral Digital Papers.

I covered all the pieces with my papers then inked the edges with Ranger's Frayed Burlap.

I used Fauna, Storm, Just Peachy and Arbor Glitters on all of my snowmen.  I also added 1/4 natural crochet lace on each of the hats and then topped them with snowflake chippies that I covered in Fauna glitter.  Then I placed a Deep Ivory Mulberry Rose or

Baby Pink Mulberry Roses on top of that.  I added vintage buttons tied with  Cotton Candy Baker's Twine or Aqua Baker's Twine.  The buttons and snowflakes were elevated using

Candi Fix it Foam Tabs.

, 

I also played with one of Gina's Birds on Key Set
I painted the piece first with Gesso, then water colors in blue, pink, and dark yellow.

After I painted it I put a layer of matte gel medium over it.  This way I could add another layer of water colors.  Below you will see I used some Golden Brown on the Key.

Next I added some darker blue to the blue birds and red to their chests and golden brown to the beaks.  I also stamped on the key with Tree Branch Archival Ink.  

For my Final step I added another layer of matte gel medium and then doodled with a black pigma pen.  I just love how it turned out!

I used Gina's 

Birds on Key Set
Winter Snowmen Banner
Snowflakes from the Winter Shape Set

Hello Friends!!

It is time for a new challenge at 

Really Reasonable Ribbon!

This time our theme is 

Purple, Green and Ribbon!

Here is a card I designed below.

So make sure you hop on over to the RRR blog so you can see the rest of the

wonderful inspiration pieces from the  Design Team.

I used Old Willow Organzaand my Bow it all tool to create the double bow in the top right corner.  I layered  Old Willow Organza, Juliet Lace, Pink Crochet Lace and Sweet Grape seam binding across the top part of my card under my focal image.

I used the Bow it all tool and more of the Sweet Grape seam binding to create the cute little bow on my St. Patty's Day ticket, in the lower left.  Moss Green Leaves were used on my focal image.

You can find all of the sweet St. Patrick's day images in my Etsy Shop here.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for our Purple, Green and Ribbon Challenge!!

Perpetual Chipboard Calendar

Hello Friends!!

Today I would like to share with you a Perpetual Calendar that I created using 

Gina's Chipboard and some fabby Ribbons and trims from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used some digital papers that I designed to cover all of the pieces.

I covered all the insides of the base with paper.  Then glued it together, and then applied paper to the outside. Trim excess paper with an exacto knife.  I glued Chloe Lace to just the top edges (please refer to photo below).  

I used embossing medium and tinsel gold to emboss all the corners and the and edges of the base.

I also embossed the words and base part of the label.  I covered one side of each of the tags with one of my digital papers as you can see below.  Then I trimmed the edges with an exacto knife.  Then I applied paper to the other side, trimmed them and then inked the edges with Frayed Burlap.  I applied paper to my label top in the same manner, and then the base was embossed.  On the back of the label base I added some Candi Fix it Foam Tabs.

Here is a look at the tags finished below.

I used Juliet Lace, Moss green Leaves,, Cotton Candy Baker's Twine,  Deep Ivory Mulberry Roses, and

Baby Pink Mulberry Roses,

  I added Juliet and Cotton Candy Baker's twine as well as a button with a cotton candy bow to my number pieces.  Martha's yard, Fauna, and Cheeky Pink Glitters were used on the edges of all of my pieces.

Here is a look at it from the side.  I used the Corners which I embossed on both sides of my Calendar base.  The Bow it All tool was used with Pink Salmon Seam Binding to create the double bow on the front.

I have not decided yet on the words that I will be using on the front, so I left it blank for now.

I used Gina's 

Perpetual Calendar Bracket Style

Stackable Labels Shape Set,

and 

Art Deco Corner Set
