Deer Forest Cards - Indigo Blu Guest Designer

Hello Crafty Souls!

I´m thrilled to be back on the IndigoBlu blog as Guest Designer today and I want to share the cards I made with you too!

Kay kindly sent me the Deer Forest A6 stamp to play and I crated these two holiday themed cards using it.

For this first card I stamped and embossed with black fine embossing powder. I fussy cut out the image and added it with 3D stickers on my card. Using black make the Deer´s really pop - it kind of reminds of a forest at night and the animals lid up by a car light.

The Merry Christmas sentiment come from the stamp set Here comes Santa.

This second card was made with the same technique, but instead of black I chose golden embossing powder to achive a more festive look.

I hope you like my projects!

Thank you for stepping by the Indigo Blu blog today.

Best Wishes

Be Fearless - MTW Challenge

I´m here today with my new layout featuring 7gypsies Architextures Collection. I made this layout for the current challenge at More than Worlds "Fearless & Grunge" (scroll down for the challenge board) that really appealed to me. I that things is not perfect so grungy - yes! And fearless is a word with many dimensions. Both good and bad.

I picked the "Song Birds Sing" paper to work on. The back of the paper has a perfect grungy feel already and only needed a bit of enhancing to get the perfect look.

I added more interest with paint and random stamping with black ink. Small details like the punchy flair and the stars from the Architextures Junk Pack "Cabin" add the right style touch.

I love the piece from the Junk Pack that looks like an old distressed wallpaper - dirty and all - and I added it under the photo of my daughter. You must say I picked the right picture for this challenge. She looks both really grungy and she is fearless in a good way - and I do hope that she will continue growing up like that.

Do you see the piece that looks like lace above and below? Well that is also a piece from Architextures Junk Pack "Grunge". It´s self adhesive and dimensional and best of all really flexible. Love it!

The challenge;

Thank you for stepping by today!

Love Life Canvas - IndigoBlu Design Team

You can call this piece a spontaneous mix of IndigoBlu love because that is pretty much what it is. I have mixed some of my favourite IndigoBlu products in a totally unplanned way and this small canvas is what came out of it.

The base is a 10x10 cm cheap canvas that I primed with GeeSso Good Gesso. Then I started applying Acrylics randomly over the surface. Both with a really wet and a dry brush.



After the first layer was dry I used the Weird Science stencil as template for my drawings. When finished I felt that the black pattern was to bold so I applied more paint and dabbed with a baby wipe over the drawings to get them a bit viewable under the paint.

After some more drying I applied more of the GeeSso good gesso, but wiped off most of it with another baby wipe. This way I got a milky feeling all over the bright paint.



I finished with painting small white dots by using the Wierd Science stencil again. The bigger white circles was drawn by hand with a white marker and the script stamped with the text stamp from the Tasty Textures stamp set. The wood alphas was painted with yellow acrylics to really pop.

As you can see the canvas shimmer a bit from the Metallic Acrylics I used.

Thank you for your visit today.

In time - Berry71Bleu Design Team

Today is my day to post in the Berry71Bleu blog. I love the moodboard Tusia brought us this month. The colors are wonderful and awake thoughts of spring and warm, sunny days. I have crated a layout with that feeling in mind. The feeling when the snow starts to melt and the ice on the lakes start to transform towards water. 

I have used papers, stickers from 7dots Studio together with stamps from IndigoBlu and spray mists from Tattered Angels. 

Different types of butterflies ties the layout together with the titel.

Colorful jewelry - IndigoBlu Design Team

I must admit - jewelry making has never been something I intended to stat with. I knit, I scrap, I read, I go to the gym - well time is limited. THEN I got the Diamond Resin in my Design Team parcel from IndigoBlu and I had to change my mind about the whole jewelry making business. This is SO fun! And the possibilites are so many - you can use patterned papers, stamped images, metal pieces, glitter, well maybe even dead insects?

I have used stamped images that I painted with IndigoBlu Acrylics for all of the prezels I show you today. The ones above was and the one below was cut out from one of stamped images from the Boadieca A5 Stamp set (the bottom stamp). I used pink, lime green and yellow acrylics. As you can see I have applied some sparkle on one of the items - Finnabair Glass Glitter "Crimson Red" - also available in the IndigoBlu shop.

I have added a small word stickers on top of my stamped image on two of my pretzels before I covered them with Diamond Resin.

On this one I have combined yellows & greens on the butterfly from the Floral Fantasy A5 stamp set.

I hope I could inspire you to make some jewelry. The Diamond Resin is really easy to use so I really recommend you try it our!

Granny´s Card

My Granny turned 85-years-old the other day and I made her this card to go with her new handy vacuum cleaner. 

I love the spring colors. I made it a sunny day so I guess I had spring feeling coming on. Tattered Angels  Glimmer Mist can make wonders to any card - I have used two tones of green; Kiwi & Key Lime Pie. 

The small raised white flowers was crated by adding heavy gesso through a stencil from IndigoBlu. Black splatters from Tattered Angels Baseboard Mist in the color Coal.

Suitable sentiment from 7dots Studio! The patterend papers, die cuts and stickers comes from the same manufacturer.

I hope you like this as much as my granny and I does!

Dog Box - IndigoBlu Design Team

I´m sharing my second post for the IndigoBlu Design Team today - a box I made using the brand new stamp set called "Kibble Pups". This perticular stamp is perfect for backgrounds and it has a co-ordinating stamp called "Dukes gang" with several dog images. And if you are more into cats - there is a cat version of both; "Kibble Cats" & "Kevins gang".

I painted a wood box with a layer of IndigoBlu Acrylics (Gold Metallic) and then mixed the brand new Mulberry Bush acrylic with Kroma Crakle and applied with a spatula. After several hours of drying the crackle effect became really good. 

I painted my stamped image with acrylics and glued it on the lid. To seal the box I painted on a layer of  Slap it on. The end result was really pleasing I think!

I must say I fell madly in love.... This is what I created for the new challenge with Words & Paintery that goes live as you read this!

I stamped pictures on IndigoBlu stamping card, then painted the image with acrylics. When dry I cut the image, mounted it to the bezles and covered it with the rasin. After more than 25 hours of drying they where finished.
