An MFT Birthday card "Heck Yes"

Hello!!

I have such a fun card to share with you today! I decided to play along with this week's sketch challenge over at My Favorite Things and I really thought the sketch was a challenge! All of a sudden I got this idea of a barn birthday party and totally loved the idea of a barn door for the lower element in the sketch! I used a piece of washitape and Distress Oxide Fired brick and just blended in the colour in strings on the paper to make the barn door. 

Unfortunately I was too late to enter the card into the sketch challenge, but I am showing it anyway :) 

I used a lot of Copics for this card and a stencil by MFT that just made the whole design even better than I imagined from the start.

A couple of altered Easter eggs

Hello!

Today I have two more altered eggs to share with you! I had so much fun making these, I used my Finnabair acrylic sparkle and metallic paints to cover them with sparkling and shimmering colours!

I started out painting them with white gesso, letting them dry and then I used my Finnabair Acrylic Paints! I have metallic ones and sparkle ones. I also used gesso to get some sparkle dots over the eggs, I really think that made the whole egg! They look like the sparkle and shimmer at the same time! I glued on some leaves and paper flowers on along with spiral stamens, a couple of charms and some butterflies made of clay. I also used my Magnolia Heart swirl die for the minty egg.

Here they are!

Altered Easter Eggs!

Hello!!

It's finally Easter and I LOVE this holiday, it's my favourite holiday of all year! Mostly because I associate it with lots of colours, bright light (spring is finally here) and we have lots of time to spend with family. 

Today I have some new altered Easter Eggs to share with you! These are so easy and fun to do and so appreciated by the receivers!

I started out painting them with white gesso, letting them dry and then I used my Finnabair Acrylic Paints! I have metallic ones and sparkle ones. I love them both. I also used gesso to get some sparkle dots over the eggs, I really think that made the whole egg! They look like the sparkle and shimmer at the same time!

Then I glued on some satin ribbon or lace ribbon and also pearl ribbon over that. I decorated the tops of the eggs with flowers, artificial berries, different charms, butterflies made of clay, spiral stamens and some brads. I also used some of my Magnolia dies and Prima Marketing Love Story design papers as well as white paper to cut out some swirls. 

So, here they are!
