DAISIES FOR MY FRAME

Hi friends, here Martha Lucia with my most recently creation using Daisies from Unique Laser Designs Store. We are officially in Spring and as you can note I love frames, so now it is time to create one for this season.

In this opportunity I am using a silver frame from IKEA, they are very cheap and you can change your layout very frequently. This silver color is sophisticated and looks perfect with these laser cut: The Daisies!!!

I gave color to the Daisies using watercolor paint. I mixed white, yellow and dark orange.

I started with the a solid color and then changed my mind to mix all the colors. I used an acrylic block to mix the paints and water.

Here you can see the color transformation or combination. You choose.

I let my daisies dry completely and in a while i cut a basic gray cardstock to put inside of my frame. I cut and layer my photo to paste over this layer. For me it is easier to decorate my frames when the layers are placed within the framework.

I aligned all the elements and pasted the daisies flowers using a liquid glue. After this I pasted a black stone on the center of each flower and on top of the central banner. As a final touch I gave it a little bling using my brush of Wing of Stella Clear over some petals and stamped a sentiment to put vertical over the right side.

Materials:

Daisies - Unique Laser Designs
Card Stock
Watercolor Paints
IKEA Frame
Black Rinhestones
Stamp Set Flower Patch
Liquid Glue

I hope you like this frame, visit us in Unique Laser Design Store and choose your embellishments to create your own frame using different techniques and products. Here in our blog you always will find great inspiration.

See you soon with other idea to make together!

EASTER CARDS

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with two Easter cards to share with you. I am using the Easter Eggs to create my cards and of course pastel colors and a few sweet elements that I will show you. Here is my first card:

To make this card I am using the Easter Eggs that come in a package with different designs. This product is available in two sizes and two materials, wood and chipboard. I used the smail size, 1"x1-1/2".

In this opportunity I decided to coloring my pieces with Yasutomo Pearlescent Watercolor Set. I gave a different color to each easter egg.

I painted each egg with a paint brush using the watercolor technique and several coats of pearlescent to accent the color.

After I finalized with my easter eggs, I cut the card base using a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock of 6"x12", a piece of Blushing Bride of 5-3/4"x5-3/4" and a whisper white piece of 5-5/8"x5-5/8" to create the layers.

To decorate the third layer I used a stencil with big dots and blushing bride classic Ink with a sponge.

After this, I cut two pieces of grass using my cricut explore and a photo frame using the On Film framelits.

Now I had all the pieces to put together my first card so I started to assemble the second and third layer, tied two loops of baker twine and pasted the frame and grass over them

After this, I pasted my easter eggs with a liquid glue and decorated with some paper flowers and stamped my sentiment.

As you will see, I didn't use all the eggs that I colored. So here is the last one in my second card. A clear and simple model that I created using the scraps of my fist card.

To create this card, I just stamped a border image several times on the bottom part using a Cherry Blossom PowderPuff Chalk Ink. Then I pasted my Easter Egg on top using a liquid glue.

To finalize the decoration I cut a whisper white piece of card stock, I created a border over it using a Edgelits and stamped my message with Melon Mambo Classic Ink. And I pasted a button on the left side with a bow of bakers twine and a little piece of grass over my Easter Egg.

Materials:

Cardstock
