Elena...Queen of Hearts

This was a Valentine's box I created for a long-time close friend who LOVES Vampire Diaries. Since she can't decide which is cuter, Damon or Stefen...I put both on for her. :P

                         It holds a giant chocolate bar...something you can really BITE!

I dripped Lindy's Stamp gang spray to look like blood, and painted Elena's gown with nail polish. The edges at the bottom have glasss bead gel with dazzling diamond glitter sprinkled over the top. Sadly, the picture does not show how sparkly it is at the bottom. The sentiment card hides in the side pocket.

My latest tutorial features a Sweet Pea Stamp called Angelic by Rachel Anderson. In the tutorial, I create the look and feel of sand using distress ink and glass bead gel. This is such a fun product to play around with! It can be found at your local art supply. The background of the image has been colored with a Copic airbrush- something I got for Christmas and love so far! :)

  The first time I saw this beautiful stamp by Connie Fong, I knew that I wanted to make the snow globe she was holding look even more realistic. It is called Angel of Christmas Stars and I had so much fun creating this! You would be amazed at what you can do with some Stickles and acetate!

 I colored the image with Copic markers:

Wings: B000, BG70, C3
Skin: E000, R20
Flowers: R20, R14, R27, R29
Hair: Y21, E35, E99
Dress: YG61,G24, G99
Background: BG10

In this video, Lori demonstrates how to create a multi-colored dimensional frame using ultra thick embossing enamel (UTEE), Vintage Photo Distress Inks, and nail polish. Now your nail polish can double as a crafting tool! :) The polish used was by OPI, called "Sit Under the Apple Tree." The card features a beautiful Sweet Pea stamp called "Glam Goth Fairy" by artist Caron Vinson. There is also a tutorial on how the texture and dimension was created on the fairy as well. So go grab your stamps and lets make something cute and crafty! :)

   This card was created using an amazing image called "Black Hellebore" by Rebecca Sinz. It's available both as a rubber stamp and also as a digi. Her face was shaded with colored pencils. The following items were used to created the card:
Cardstock
Design paper by Bobunny
Pearls by Prima
Flowers- Wild Orchid Crafts
Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays
Doily
Frame cut from Cricut
Vintage lace
Tickets by Recollections
Vintage Photo- Tim Holtz
  The background paper was dry embossed and inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The frame was sprayed with a coral shimmer spray, as were some of the flowers. The doily was sprayed in a Moonshadow mist called Ethereal Emerald.

 In this tutorial, Lori demonstrates how to shade the flowers using ink from a stamp pad and a blender pen and then adding mica over the top for that special POP of sparkle.
