Cowgirl portrait - The east wind

Image
Hey everyone!  It's time for a new release over at  The east wind  and this time it's a great Cowgirl image!!!  LOVE her and just HAD to play with her to make a postcard (yup I'm obsessed with them but you have to admit it's awesome to make little reminders to the ones that you love that you are thinking of them. I made a little video of my process yet again: I have put this little postcard in my Etsy store and you can see it here . And here is the make with this fab image I used an image from a magazine cut out.  The sentiment was found on google and I wrote it on word document to be printed and added to this.  The washi tape that I have put on this is from a swap.  And you have to see the video to see the paint as well as the stencils that I used. I'm entering this in the following challenges: Crafting from the heart challenge blog  - Anything goes Crafty our passion challenges  - anything goes Not just cards challenges  - Anything goes Scrapboo

Happy Mother's Day - Birdbrain style :)

Image
I want to start out this post by wishing all the wonderful mother's out there a fabulous Mother's day!  I really hope you get spoiled in all kinds of little ways. I made a little mother's day card using a great image from the heart stamps called Bouquet chick.  I thought it would be totally perfect for making a little mother's day card. I colored the fab image withe my copics.  The image was cut out with a grand label 11 from Spellbinder and I used my scallop and circle dies from Spellbinder for the sentiments.  I added a little double ribbon bow and some bling.  The paper is from Oh la la for her by my mind's eye.  I really love how bright and cheerful this came out :) I'm entering this in the following challenges: From the heart stamps  - Sketch or twist - I did the twist with the ribbon Open-minded crafting fun  - Easter/spring or pastel - this is pastel and would also be perfect for spring :) Come and get it challenge  - Card for a woman C

The image that I used is from Faery Ink and you can purchase that image here . I made a little video of my process that you can see in this video: If you want this little postcard you can purchase it in my Etsy store here . And here is my make. I used many texture on this, a backing from a napkin, a pattern for making clothes.  I added some ribbon.  For the sentiment I used some letter stamps that I had to make the words.  I played with my stars stencil from Artploration , (I joined the monthly club... and it's just FAB so if you don't know that do check it out).  The image was colored with my copics. I hope this inspires you :) I'm entering this little postcard in the following challenges: Open-minded crafting fun  - I did the pastel because Easter is long past Simon says stamp blog

Fung La - The east wind - Mail art

Image
Hello everyone!  I wasn't supposed to play with the wonderful freebie from The East wind because I'm just back from vacation... but I just COULDN'T resist!!!  So here is my make with the image Fung La that you would have gotten if you are a newsletter subscriber here . I made a little postcard with this image.  You can see my process in the video here. I'm putting this postcard in my Etsy store .  I thought that I would share some postcards thinking that if people don't have time to make some they might still appreciate sending them to their pals and might be interested. Here is the postcard that I made using some mixed media way.  I have put lots of different papers that were on my desk.  The sentiment was found online and then I created it on a word document and printed it out at the same time as the image. I'm entering this little postcard in the following challenges: 613 Avenue create  - Anything goes Lil patch of crafty friends  - Anything g
