Post 2 of 2 for me today...click HERE for my Top Dog Dies project using Authentique's Anchored collection.
Hello, our Chickaniddy Crafts assignment is: Pinspiration
I picked this image as my April Pinspiration:
Working with the Twirly Girly Collection, I had so much fun putting this card together.
I focused on the pink color in the inspiration and translated it to the raspberry color in Twirly Girly. I couldn't wait to use the silhouette image as my focal point.
Supplies: Paper (TG14CP01; TG14OS017) Silver Foil Paper (CM14SP002)
I used the Chickaniddy Silver Foil paper and an Exclusive Top Dog Dies, Bella Doily die. I layered it with vellum leaves (Top Dog Dies Wildflower die) and the cameo silhouette journal card. I dipped the wooden clothespin into a Fuschia stamp pad. I have the coordinating reinker so I squeezed a bit out onto an acrylic block, added a smidge of water and used it to watercolor onto my card base.
TIP: Using coordinating ink colors ties the design together.
I knew I wanted to keep my design fairly clean and crisp but still bring in neutral colors.
I featured several of the gray patterns in the Twirly Girly collection. I circle punched and lined them up on my card base then added the watercolor panel on top.
I love that this collection has the best of both worlds...plenty of girly patterns along with plenty of patterns that would be suitable for masculine layouts, cards and other projects.
If you have the Twirly Girly collection, play along with us and leave us a comment with a link to your project. We'd love to see how you're inspired!
I wanted to also share my original project that I designed based on this Pinspiration:
I've been inspired by my bloggie friend Katie's use of tissue on her projects. I used plain white tissue and inked it up with Tea Dye distress stain.
Supplies: Paper (TG14PD01) Alpha stickers (TG14EB01) Enamel Hearts (TG14EB07) Brads (TG14EB06) Stamps (DN14ST01) Gold Foil paper (CN14SP001)
I layered the 2 different patterned panels onto my card base. I adhered the tissue with Mod Podge. I colorized the alpha with black soot distress stain. I layered everything onto a PTI doily die. See the gold confetti? I used my Crop-a-dile and made them myself using Chickaniddy Gold Foil paper {that stuff totally rocks).
I heat embossed the diamond in white on vellum. Love that stamp set that coordinates with the Chickaniddy Date Night set but easily works with Twirly Girly!
I lasso'd some black hemp and adhered it under the doily to bring out the black alpha.
2 totally different cards using Pinspirations!
I'd love for you to pop over to the Chickaniddy Crafts blog, I'm up there with 2 of my DT Girls!
