Melly Art Creates All the Things

    This set was originally made with sunflowers, but for me sunflowers are more august/September.. so I may end up making them again.. but for now i made them as Daisys.. and i love how they turned out.   I creating these i used cardstock from cutcardstock.com - dessert storm, hot fudge, cougar white, gold, black, sand castle, light yellow, and fairway. Using some chalk to rosey her cheeks.  Below are some closeups.                                                    Thank you for stopping by!  Happy Crafting.  

Good Morning... Today I am sharing a Layout for TwilightCraftsuk using the Daisy Lace file from JennyWrenCutfles.  I used the Butterfly Kisses collection from Doodlebug Designs.  One of my favorite companies!  I used some pale yellow cardstock to cut the file on, i love the contrast of it with the yellows in the collection.  I used designs from the 6x8 pad to back each daisy, alternating the color of the flower centers between 2 shades of pink, i love pinks and yellows together.  I didnt do much else to the cutfile itself, i wanted the yellow to pop against the white.  I used a sheet from the pad as well and fussy cut my title out, along with some of the subtitle phrases.  I used the ephemera packs to embellish, then finished the layout with some sequins and nuvo drops.  Below are some closeups...                                   ...

              Happy June!!  For June I decided to create an entire set of Die Cuts from Marjorie Ann Designs.   I thought these turtles were the cutest!  And theres nothing i love more than sitting down and paper piecing die cuts together.  Its relaxing to me.. sometimes a little frustrating if the pieces are too little, but relaxing for the most part.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.  They have been embellished with nuvo drops and glossy accents, with some chalk for those rosy cheeks.  Below are closeups of each die cut.                                                                                         ...

                  Good morning!  Happy Friday!   What better die cut set could be more fitting for a Friday!  I found these guys at MarjorieAnndesigns.com as past of a series Benny and Belinda - Better together  Now you know i had to buy the whole seiers and make them!  So the next few weeks are going to be Better Together Die Sets!  This week its 5 o'clock somewhere! with lots of Limes and tequila!   I used lots of inking to get colors right as well as Nuvo drops to give them the look and feel of actual margaritas and tequila, and the limes look nice and juicy!                                Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting! 

This week for Kadood;e Bug Designs, i used one of the Strawberry cows, and a die set from Berry Swet from DoodleBug, and created this super cute and fun thank you cards.  Using cautcardstock to create this, I just love how perfect it cuts on my machine!  Added in some fun nuvo drops and glossy accents, with some edge inking as well.                                                                            Thanks for stopping by ...

        Today I paired KadoodleBug Designs, watermelon highland cow with some papers from Butterfly Kisses, a white card base from CutCardStock  with some cute sentiments and created this bright, summery card. 

             Today I am sharing these adorable summer, highland cows from KadoodleBug Designs.    I used cardstock from CutCardstock, Rose Quartz, fairway, black., Lime, Hot Fudge, Dessert, and Sand Castles. Some chalk and glossy accents, with some inking with Catherine Pooler inks.  Come back in a few days and see the project i used one of these adorable guys on.  

  Good Morning!  Today Im sharing a layout for TwilightCraftsUK, and iim using Jenny Wren Cutfile in a little bit of a different way. I cut used 'cuddles' from Jenny Wren cutfiles on some nice heavy cardstock. Instead of using the cut piece, i used it as a stencil. I used some Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and blended them down the page, stenciling the word "cuddles" down the page 5 times, in 5 different colors. I chose the colors off an old Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection, the name escapes me. I kept the embellishments on the simple side, not wanting to cover up too much of the background. I cut some circles from some patterned paper, adding some wood veneer butterflies and acrylic white hearts, paper flowers, a few sequins and nuvo drops. Below are some closeups...                                                 ...

  How Cute did these cards turn out??  I cant get over the stamp sets from Brutus Monroe!  They are too cute, i had no choice than make cards with all of them.   I posted some back in May, here are the other 3 that went with them.  The focus here is Cougar White Heavy Cardstock from CutCardstock.  I used a few different mixed media items on each card.  Two have Faux Honey, and it looks and feels just like honey!   Crazy, right?  Each card also has Whipped Honey in different colors, two through a stencil, and one just smeared onto the cardstock.   2 cards feature the stamp sets, using alcohol markers to color them, the last is a honey pot stencil, and a fussy cut Pooh from a paper pack.  Below are some close up photos .. Enjoy!                                              ...

             I paired these bears from earlier this week, with Doodlebug Butterfly Kisses and the cutest photo of my niece.   She is very photogenic, always smiling so much.. these seemed perfect for this photo.  Keeping the embellishments to some hearts, which i used Nuvo drops on, and some fun sparkly sequins.  Below is a full shot of the layout.                                                                                        Thanks for stopping by...
