Melly Art Creates All the Things

  Next in the "better together" series is a classic!  How could I not make Coffee and Donuts!  For these guys I used - Desert Storm, sandcastle, white, metallic lagoon, DCS fruit punch, and black.  I didnt ass to much embeeliishing to them, i used some ink on the edges and some Nuvo Drops for the sprinkles on the donut and some glossy accents on their eyes and nose, with some chalk on their cheeks.                                                                                                      Thanks for stopping by... Happy Crafting!

                         For this layout i used another of the patchwork cut files from Jenny Wren Cutfiles., turned it to look like honeycomb, and combined it with "Bee Happy" from Doodlebug Designs. I used photos of one of my dogs, and kept the embellishments simple to show as much of the cut file as possible. Using some ephemera from the collection and some white flowers with button centers, making some extra bees with the stand alone die set, and finally to finish it off, adding some nuvo drops and mini epoxy flair.                                         Below are some close ups.

I used cardstock from cutcardstock.com - Desert Storm, Mars, Yellow jacket, cougar white, and black.  adding some chalk for some rosey cheeks and inking on the bun and the bears themselves.  Join me next week for another "Better Together" set.                                                                                                    ...

    This set was originally made with sunflowers, but for me sunflowers are more august/September..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!
