All in Suede & Creams Birthday Card

Hello!

My this week's project for PCW is a Birthday Card. I have used a Happy Birthday sentiment from PCW. It went really well with the layout I chose to make. This sentiment comes in about 6 colors and I have used a file with the 'black' color font on it. 

List of all supplies used is below!

Gardenia 'Good Luck' Card

Here comes another DT Project for Scribbles Designs. It's a 'good luck' card. I have used a 'Fresh Floral Stack' by DCWV. I adore this paper pad! It comes in 12x12" and has 180 sheets. Another important thing that it's a pretty thin paper.

Word Art is of course by SD. You can get the file HERE.

Circle scallop in dull gold and cream is die-cut from Sizzix. 

For bringing out the cute factor, I have added a lime green twine.  

Hope you like it!

Indigo Ecstasy Mini Album

Howdy Folks!

It's almost the end of September! I hope it went well for all. 

Today I am posting a fun mini album cover I did few days ago. It was fun making this and due to shortage of time I wasn't able to click inside pictures. It was an urgent order! It was a vintage looking album. I used DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper pad for this. Btw it's my second buy! I am totally in love with the paper. It's so beautiful!

Dies used are by Sizzix, of course! Perks of being a distributor! I end up buying a lot of dies. Sigh!

On 30th I would be posting again for PCW. Just giving you heads up! Don't miss out the post!

Pastel & Grey Blooms Altered Box

Hello!

Hope you all are doing fab! I come with another altered box. This time I have used pastel blue with grey and I liked how it turned out. 

Firstly I covered the whole box with 'Pewter' Distress Paint and covered the cover with DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper. Then I embellished it using Sizzix dies and few flowers. Silver rose is from Recollections and other two I got from a local store in Riyadh. 

They're perfect for gifting and storing little items! Let me know what you think of it.

Victorian Era Canvas

Hey there!

GUESS WHAT?!?! I have recently started using Distress Paints by Tim Holtz and I am so in love with them. I have been using them on canvas and wood boxes lately and I am so liking the end-result. It's gives a super neat matte finish. I would be reviewing the product soon! 

Anyway! Let's go back to what I really want to talk about. I did this canvas last week for a client who wanted to have a anniversary wish on it for her brother and sister-in-law. So, for the background I used a Distress Paint. REPEATING AGAIN, it gave such a even and clean look (COMPLETELY OBSESSED!). Yet again, I have embellished with few flowers, leaves, butterfly and so on. 

List of all the supplies used is below!

Euphoric Dreams Tag

Hello folks!

First of all, Eid Mubarak to all Muslims all over the world! 

Another TAG! For this particular one layout is quite different from the regular ones I make. Of course flowers are used as usual along with few other things and most importantly I liked the mini jar concept which I did in here. I was trying to do something out of line and this is what I ended up making. 

Firstly, I distressed the whole tag and embossed with Perfect Pearls. Then put up the embellishments that is label, flowers and everything else. I had a white lace which I painted it with Distress Paints. 

List of all the supplies used is below!

Floral Days Canvas

&&& here comes another floral canvas. I have used pretty much same products like in the previous one. Papers flowers are from a local store except the flat grey one is from Prima Marketing. 

Destiny tag is from Tim Holtz idea-ology collection which I have tied using a twine and bottom-left stamped image is by Stamper Anonymous. I have stamped it using Distress Embossing Ink and Perfect Pearls in Pewter. I am totally in love with the product! It gives a perfect pearly effect to the image.   

Butterfly die-cut and label framelit is by Sizzix! 

I hope you like it!

Brightest Hue Altered Box

Here's another altered box which I did recently! I have covered lid with a 'Old World Stack' DCWV cardstock and distressed and stenciled the rest of the box.

I have put an oval frame in creamy color. I have recently purchased this framelit set and I have been using on every other project I have been making nowadays. OBSESSED! Next I have arranged few silver leave stems and dull gold butterfly die-cuts and paper flowers on to the lid. I felt something was missing so added a rusty looking vintage key. I loved how it completed the whole thing!

Embellishments are by Tim Holtz and Recollection and die-cuts of leave stems and butterfly are of course by Sizzix.  

Till next time! 

Tangerine Blown Altered Box

Hello!

I am super excited to share my first post for PCW Blog today with all of you. I chose Roses Two Double cutting file but as I don't own a electronic cutting machine. I have used my Sizzix BigShot which is a manual cutting machine to die-cut the image in oval. Just to let you know the files listed on PCW website can not only be used as a cutting file but you can even cut them by scissors or use a manual cutting machine and you can still create amazing products.

I have distressed the whole box in a single tone and then stenciled with the a bit darker shade. I have added an oval die-cut in the middle and embellished the two round corners with some paper flowers.

Butterflies and label die-cuts are by Sizzix. I have used 'Wild Honey' for distressing the butterflies.  

To add some bling, I have added silver rhinestones on the edge of the box cover.

For coloring the image I have used the following Distress Markers.. 

• Aged Mahogany
• Victorian Velvet
• Peeled Paint
• Shabby Shutters
• Wild Honey
• Scattered Straw

Did you like the end-result? Let me know in your comments!

Tribal Mosaic Card

Here is my first project for Scribbles Designs DT Blog and I am super excited to share with you all. This month's challenge is 'Good Luck' and I have chosen a 'Flower Doodle' file to go with it. I wanted to create something bright so I went on using rich colors of Distress Markers.

If you're into doodle images like me don't forget to visit Scribbles Designs Store. They have pretty cool doodle images!

Here is a close up!

Distress Markers which I have used in here are Wild Honey, Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans, Antique Linen, Barn Door and Peeled Paint.

Hope you like it!

Summer Sunshine Canvas

Hi there!

I'm here with my new post and this time it's small sized canvas. This was the very first time I tried doing the background of a canvas by distress inks. I think it turned out pretty great! What do you think?

Firstly, I covered it with the lighter shade of distress ink and on the top of it I did a bit of a stenciling by blue and red shades of distress inks to give a bright summer look. 

Leaves, butterfly and the frame are thinlits from Sizzix.

I recently bought these flowers in various colors from a local store in Riyadh and I simply can't get over them. Just giving you a heads up you would be seeing a lot of them in my future posts. 

'Sunshine' is again a thinlit from Sizzix. 

This project hardly took 20 minutes and the end-result was pretty cool. Hope you like it!

Tim Holtz Distress Markers

Hey there! 

I hope everyone is well. Today I am reviewing Distress Markers which I have been using for almost a week. I ordered the set of 49 markers. 

When I first opened and started using them, I almost ruined 6 images. YES! 6!!! Thankfully once I started doing the 7th one, I was pretty clear on how to use them. The thing I liked about them the most is that they coordinate with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads. 

What is basically a Distress Marker?

Distress Marker is a water based marker. It has a dual-tip, one side it has a brush tip and other end is a very fine tip. Brush tip is used for coloring and shading and fine tip can be used for jorunaling and drawing. 

Aren't the colors yummy?

You can color them directly on rubber stamps, so now there is no used to get different colors of stamping pads. Get the markers and use it for multi-purposes!

Another thing I would like to mention is that as I have mentioned these are water based markers but I have also tried using them without using any water and the projects turned out pretty great. In few more days I will be sharing those projects on the blog.

Can't get over them! The colors are so darn gorgeous!

An important note that you have to store Distress Markers horizontally to keep ink following at both tips.

Happy Coloring!

Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Pads

Hello there!

Since couple of days I was thinking to post few 'Product Reviews' of my ever F-A-V products. So here I am with the first one and it's Tim Holtz Mini Distress Pads. They are total of 52 distress colors. They come in a pack of 4 and if you need only few of them then you can buy them separately. Anyway, I have bought them as kits and I have all 13 of them. Call me crazy!!! But I am huge fan of these. Why? Keep reading and you will get to know! 

First the basics, they are about 1x1" and have a raised felt surface which makes it super easy to use directly on a crafting surface without even using a blending tool. Another great thing about them is they are stackable so they are very easy to store. In case you don't want to stack them up, you can get storage tin by Tim Holtz (that's what I did), they are specifically made for the minis. As you can see in the picture below, each tin can hold up to 12 mini distress pads and you can easily store a mini blending foam under each pad easily. They are absolutely perfect if you less storage space or if you aren't able to get the regular ones because of the price. You can get these with the re-inkers and you're good to go.    

One main thing if anyone of you is confused between the regular distress pads and the minis. Let me tell you that there is no difference at all. They're just smaller in size and quite cuter! If you're a newbie here is what you need to know distress inks comes in all colors and shades. For dark to light and from bright to pastel. They are perfect to use on a paper, canvas and any wood item. I totally love these! I have been using since a year and I haven't re-inked them yet. 

If you're into making your own custom backgrounds, give them a try! You won't be disappointed!
