Standing Flip Book by Dianna's Crafts

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with a collaboration with Gina's Designs and The Robin's Nest.  I chose Gina's Designs Standing Flip Book to use with The Robin's Nest Cardstock.  I simply adored using the Saffron Sunrise and the Venice Collection Cardstock. 

First I spray painted the Standing Flip book bronze (make sure you do not spray paint the notches and do not let paint get into the holes).  On the corners of the stand and underneath frame I used Gina's Art Deco Corner Set.   I traced chipboard pages onto The Robins Nest - Saffron Sunrise Collection Cardstock and cut out and distressed with ink while watching a movie.  I used Twinkling H20's on all the chipboard pieces.  Above, I used a piece from Gina's Parisian Shape Set, used punch to create the fleur-de-lis and added two buttons. The Robin's Nest Cardstock used are Striped Honeycomb and Fleur Honeycomb.

 

I used Gina's Lace Border Stick and The Robin's Nest Cardstock - Saffron Honey.

On this page I created a fold out using a cracker box and clipped it back with a key paperclip.  I used three different fall off from left over paper that I cut the pages from The Robin's Nest.  I had fun with the Twinkling H20's and created a burnished effect by layering the H20's light to dark.  I use a foam makeup applicator to apply each color.  

This is the backside of the fold out.  I used The Robin's Nest, Fleur Honeycomb Cardstock and Time Flies Rubon.

I thought this picture showed how nicely the Standing Flip Book pages looked with The Robin's Nest Cardstock (Fleur Honeycomb)  The butterfly is from Gina's Designs (special order).  I used Twinkling H20's to create the tarnished effect.  

On the last picture (there are actually 12 different pictures, 6 per side of the flip) I used Gina's Deco Lattice Panel 2 and The Robin's Nest, Stripe Tropicana cardstock.  I used Twinkling H20's on the lattic and some extra flowers to pull in some the green from the frame.  This picture is on the backside of the flip out and part of the key paperclip is showing.  

Thank you for looking!

ColourArte Blog Challenge Red, Blue and Yellow

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with my submission for the ColourArte Monthly Challenge for the Red, Blue and Yellow.  

I used ColourArte's Silk's Acrylic Glazes, Cool Water, Iridescent Blue and Stargazer on the Gina's Designs XL-Chipboard Tag.  I used a 2-inch scalloped circle punch to create the clouds with makeup sponges and daubed the Silks on the chipboard.

I used Twinkling H20's Nutmeg for the branch of the Gina's Designs Canning Jar Branch (coming soon!!!) and Silks Pretty Peridot on the leaves.  I used Twinkling Mardarin Citrine for the lights. For the Butterflies and Dragonflies I used Silks Cool Water, Iridescent Blue and Twinklings Pearl Red.

This was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy!

Circus Box Featuring ColourArte by Dianna's Crafts

 Hi everyone, Dianna here, with a exciting new project featuring Twinkling H20's by ColourArte!  I love to repurpose items and when I saw this old bankers box I knew I wanted to put a circus in it!

 Please see the video at the bottom of this post for step by step instructions.  

Here is a photo of some of the beautiful goodies I used on my project.

I started off with this chipboard Ferris Wheel from Gina's Designs, and used Washi tape to tape off the sections so that the Twinkling H20's did not bleed into each other.  The colors I used in the Twinkling H20's are Orange Peel, Lemongrass, African Jade and Ginger Peach. I used a sponge eye shadow makeup applicator to stir the water into the H20's and then applied it to the chipboard pieces. 

The tent was taped off as well, because I can not create a straight line on my own.  I used Twinkling H20's Ginger Peach, Lemongrass and African Jade for the banner. The H20's rainforest was used on the elephant then I went over it with the makeup applicator to create lines and dimension.  

The giraffe's spots were cut out of washi tape and was colored with more of the H20's in the Mandarin Citrine color. I then removed the spots  and colored them with the Nutmeg H20's.

I decided to leave the box in its original condition because I felt it was perfect for this project.  The bottom of the box looked like sand and the back of the lid was a perfect backdrop for the Ferris Wheel.

Next, I glued rice lights to the back of the Ferris wheel and then glued two plastic lids together for a stage (and to hide the battery pack). I covered the stage with some circus looking paper to finish it off.

Here is where I am at so far.

I glued the tent to the stage and hide the battery pack under it. 

Now its time for finishing touches! I glued the giraffe to the train car, and she is peeking over the top to see what's going on. I painted with more of the Twinkling H20's in Ginger peach, Lemongrass and African Jade on the train car, which gave it a fun shimmer and sparkle.

Here is the finished project!  I had so much fun creating this unique item. I love working with these products, they are very versatile and covered so well over the chipboard.
