Yellow Week, Imagine the possibilities...

Hello Everyone

Jennifer with you here today!    In honour of "Yellow Week", I created a quick card!  I love this combination of black and white, teamed with the lovely bright yellows.

I had fun playing with the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Mask Sheets again - using a die to create the cutout, and using my ink blending tool - first with squeezed lemonade and then mustard seed distress inks.  Once I had removed the mask, I stamped the Kaiser Stamp slightly off-set with black Archival Ink.

I used the sponge applicator again to change the colour of the roses slightly from the cream colour to the matching hue of the yellow already on the card.  

I curled the stems of the flowers and put them together in a bunch, adhering them to the card with hot glue. Next I used black distress stain to colour the white pre-tied ribbon bow, the silver thread adds that little touch of bling; adhering it once again with hot glue.

I also coloured one on the words from Tim Holtz ChitChat sheets - "imagine" to match the card, again with my ink blending tool.  I also sponged the edges of the envelope and then inked them in black Archival Ink as well.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you'll be using some yellow this week!  If you go to grab some yellow and realise you don't have any - pop on over to the my2angels shop because everything yellow is on special!!

Cheers,

Jen

Clipboard Photo Frames

So my DD brought me a mini clipboard a few months back, I had a thought that it would look cool as a photo frame, and even better when a friend brought me another one so I have the start of a clipboard photo gallery on my wall (and also gave me a reason to get out the Claudine Hellmuth Multi-Medium, not that I need an excuse LOVE the stuff!)

So here is Photo Frame Clipboard No 1 

with Prima Engraver Roulette glued to the base

and added our black scroll felt frame (cut up for 2 corners)

yellow flowers

Silver Love Key Charm
yellow 1cm roses

scrap chipboard letters to spell love

I love you postcard charm

made with love heart charm 
antique bronze love charm

then a good coat of Claudine Hellmuth Multi-Medium

and when dried sprayed with Tarnished Silver Glimmer Mist and Yellow Glimmer Mist (found the yellow in a mini mister and clever me didn't label it!)

and our new I Love you to Infinity Yellow Chain (wiped with some Black Soot Distress Paint)

Yellow Stickles on the Large Filigree Butterfly which was first painted with Mustard Seed Distress Paint and once dry centred with a Silver Love Key Charm 

As this is a gold and yellow themed frame I lastly, wiped randomly with Inka Gold, over areas, and paying more attention to the silver charms
(Inka Gold is a great product to colour charms and dries within minutes!)

and Photo Frame Clipboard No 2

started off like this with

Music paper glued to the base,
gold flower rhinestone trim, 

cream tulle

black felt scroll frame, 

black and white stemmed flowers, 

selection of brown flowers and a white magnolia sprayed with Tarnished Silver Glimmer Mist that I found on my desk, 

Twiddleybitz flower flourish which has been chopped up

snuck in behind the top left hand corner of the frame is one of our silver rhinestone heart

 then a coat of Claudine Hellmuth Multi-Medium

and a spray of Gold Glimmer Mist, Tarnished Silver Glimmer Mist and Inka Gold
a few splats of Tarnished Brass Distress Stain for good measure
then added a Twiddleybitz fancy flourish and
one of our shabby love embellishments to the top


and I ended up with this

Wish you could see on the photo the awesome effect that the Inka Gold gives!

Tucked in underneath is a flat circle filigree, Antique Bronze Birdcage and a Twiddleybitz Chipboard Vintage Inscribed Key

I love them!

and wouldn't they be a great unique gift idea?

Yellow, Black and Gold OTP Tin

Remember the blue coffee tin I decorated a few weeks back, well here is another one that I intend to display our yellow rose buds in for instore.

First I started off by painting it fully with Mustard Seed Distress Paint and stamping it using Archival Jet Black Ink with my Kaisercraft Script stamp.
 (Love how smooth & creamy these distress paints feel!)

Around the base is our black lace and black flower rhinestone chain. 

It is adhered with my hot glue gun.

Next came the fun part of embellishing it.  Starting off with our black feathers in the background

then black and white stemmed flower, gold pearl spray, antique bronze leaf charms, yellow rose buds and yellow roses

 
And tucked in behind are our Black mulberry flowers

Now our large flower filigree got a coat of Mustard Seed Distress paint too, which adhered very nicely!



Topped with a black gardenia then a small yellow rose

Lastly, I gave it a quick spray with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist

I am pretty happy with this bright cheerful tin, can't wait to start on my next one.

And don't forget all yellow and gold products are on sale now, so pop over to the website and get yourself some bright and cheerful yellow goodies
