Melly Art Creates All the Things

  I had such a blast creating this layout. I used cougar white from cutcardstock, as the background and used Shimmerez Paints for the black and yellow splatters behind the bee wreath - from Jenny Wren Cut Files.  Combining it with another cutfile - Collecting Flowers, all cut on Cougar White cardstock as well.  They seemed to go with these photos perfecting and i couldn't decided which one to use, so i used both!  I also added some stitching in black around the layout, before adding anything else to page.    For the collecting flowers file, i did cut on white cardstock, however i used Mustard Seed and inked the entire cut file, it matched the flowers so well, and it made that file really pop out against the white.  I used some black pearl embellishments as the flower centers around the wreath, and added some black nuvo to bring it all together.  Adding some paper flowers and pearl elements, with a lovely spattering of sequins for some sparkle. ...

             For this weeks project I went with a simple layout.  I used Cougar White for the background, adding some red inking using Tim Holtz Festive Berries, Candied Apple, and Lumberjack Plaid.  Creating some splatters as well using Shimmerz Coloringz in Black and Cotton Candy.  I used a cutfile I cut out in Black , and the Metallic Crystal to cut the title in.  Adding stitching in red around the border.        I kept the embellishments simple, I wanted the cutfile and the inking to pop out.  So i used white embellishments, paper flowers, acrylic hearts, some sequins, and of course some Nuvo drops.                                                      Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Crafting.  

    Happy Friday!  Im sharing another card from Dreaming Tree.  Using Cougar White, Fruit Punch, Jupiter, Onyx, and Flame from CutCardstock.  This one is a bit silly, but very cute, a little more limited in its use, but good for a just because, who doesn't like a silly card now and again.       I kept this pretty simple, adding some stickles on the sentiment, i like letting the metallic and shimmer card stocks to sparkle.                                                                                                                                Happy Crafting!

Happy Friday!  I am sharing another card from Dreaming Tree , using metallic reds and pinks from Cutcardstock.com .  This is also a valentines day card, but could be used as an anniversary card, a just because card, so many uses!  I kept this one simple, popping up the inside hearts, using some silver glitter, and adding some Nuvo drops to the outside band.  The space to write is a little more condensed to the hearts, however I always like to write on a separate sheet of paper, allowing the card to be displayed or even reused by the recipient.                                                                      Happy Crafting!

    Good Morning!   I am sharing my first February project for Twilight Crafts and Crop .  I am using the "Butterfly" Cut file from Jenny Wren, along with the Bloom Street collection.  I love these files, they cut beautifully, and the borders are a little bigger than most cut files, making it easier, for me, to back or make shaker elements from.  This one I backed and added foam tape all over the back to pop it up.  Also adding thicker foam tape to the photo so it lays on top of the cut file. I kept this page very simple, I always want my cut file and or photos to be the focus and pop out from the rest of the page.  I used some epoxy flair from ScrappinHappyStudio, black thickers and nuvo drops, along with some green splatters and sequins for all the sparkle.  Adding just a few paper flowers.  I love the final look of this layout..                          ...

  Good Morning!  Back with another project for A Cut Above.  This month I created this beautiful card from Dreaming Tree using glitter cardstock and Cougar White from CutCardstock .  This was very simple and turned out beautiful. I decided to keep this simple to highlight the glitter aspects, however lots of different things would work for this card: sequins, nuvo, flair, flowers, additional hearts, lots of layer can be added to it as well.  Doesn't have to be for valentines day, this can be used as an anniversary card, or just an everyday I love you card to make anyone feel special.                                                                             ...
