Once Upon A Time - Maker Forte

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess slays her own dragons... Lol! Today's project is all about the beautiful Princess that slays her own dragons. I can't believe that! Imagine a Princess, that's BBBRRRAAAVVVEEE and AAAHHHMMMAAAZZZIIINNNGGG!!!

Look at this young beautiful Princess. Isn't she adorable?

Let's get started on how I made this card...

To start with, I prepared the A2 Top Fold Card Base and then set it aside. Next, I cut another piece of white smooth cardstock that measures 4 x 5.25 inches as my card panel. Then, I start to make the scene for our beautiful Princess. I used the Sunburst stencil that I made myself. I first applied Alcohol Markers to make the Sunburst itself. Use the combination of Blue Family alcohol markers from Arteza from darkest to lightest color and let it sit for a bit to dry.

Next, I stamped the Princess from the Once Upon A Time Stamp Set onto smooth white cardstock with Color Hive Remarkable Eclipse Black Ink Pad.Then colored her with Arteza alcohol makers and highlighted and shaded her with some colored pencils. I also applied Glitter Gel Pen to her hair accessory and then fussy cut the image. After that, I went back to the background. I started blending Color Hive Coral Keys. Blending it smoothly then added Color Hive Hyde Park next. I went back and forth to achieve a good combination and smooth finish.

To make it like she's standing on the grass, I added some Arteza Green alcohol markers and blended them with some Color Hive Cotswold Green Ink Pad. I also added some long lines for some added look as if those are Trees that were damaged by the Dragons. Use your imagination, lol! You know sometimes we do that to make a scene, right? To finish it off, I added the sentiment from the Once Upon A Time Stamp Set and adhered with some double-sided tape.

And that's all folks! Be sure to check all the materials I used over Maker Forte Shop.

Happy Crafting!

You Fill My Day - Joy Clair Designs

Hello, Joy Clair fans! This is Marjof MarjBanzalesDesigns. I'm back again for another project and to give you some inspiration. For today's project, it is all about telling someone how you fill my day. Isn't nice to tell someone special or even just a random person that you encounter? Making them feel special makes one person's day bright and beautiful.

Let's get started with my new project...

First, I started with an A2 standard card that I layered on a beautiful patterned paper that measures 4 x 5.25 inches as my card panel. I adhered it using a strong glue and I normally use glue as it is easy to manipulate than tape. Then, I added a white doily on top of the panel and adhered it with glue as well. I made sure to have it the same size as the panel.

Next, I printed one of the images from the Sending a Little Message Digital Stamp Set. It is a beautiful flower in a vase. I decided to print a little bigger as my focal point. As you all know, I love to color flowers and my favorite medium is my Arteza Ever Blend Ultra Art Markers. Use the Blue Family Alcohol Markers from darkest to lightest. Once done, I highlighted and shaded some parts of the flowers to make them pop using the same brand Arteza but some colored pencils.

Then, I proceed to the vase and colored it with some gray tones the same way from the darkest to the lightest color. I also shaded and highlighted the vase to have some dimension. Once set, I added some strong glue and then adhered it to the center of the year card.

To finish it off, I printed the sentiment "You Fill My Day with Happiness" from the You Fill My Day Digital Stamp Set then added it to the card with some double-sided adhesive tape.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you were inspired by my project to create your own. For more inspiration, be sure to follow me on my Website, Instagram, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, and Youtube Channel.

Best Wishes on Your Day - Maker Forte

Hi, lovelies! Hope you are starting your weekend right. Today I'm over Maker Forte's blog for a beautiful inky blended project.

From time to time, I like to have some inky fingers and it's also fun to see the colors you'll achieve once done blending them. Getting inked fingers is fun and exciting to do.

To get all the deets, please head over here.

I had a wonderful time playing with this Flower Market White Stamp with the Color Hives Ink Pad. For this project, color combination is the key but sometimes you just have to play with them and you'll be amazed at the result.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like it.

Stay Creative and have an Inky Finger Day!
