Stand Up Love Sentiments by Dianna's Crafts

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts - Stand Up Sentiments - Love.  I used the colors for the February Facebook Challenge - Pink, White and Silver.   


I painted the love sentiment white.  I then had Gina cut out the Love lettering from Yours Truly paper line. I glued pink paper first then off set the grey paper. I embossed the grey paper with silver and white embossing powder.  I then used a pink distressed ink on both the pink and grey paper.  


I painted the large heart from Build a layout Lovebirds white then colored it pink with a Copic Marker.  I applied glossy accents to the heart and sprinkled white and silver beads.  I cut out the man and women from Authentique - Crush -Cache.  The dress was blue and I colored it pink.  I painted the gears from the Gears Borders and Corners Miniatures white and used Stickles on the gears.  I placed grey pearls and rhinestones in the center of the gears.  


I painted the lovebirds white and colored the birds grey with Copic Markers.  I cut one side of the heart vine and colored it white and pink.  


I wanted the back of the Love to be pretty also.  So, I painted the Heart of Gears white and then colored it pink.  I used Stickles on the heart and placed grey pearls in the middle of the gears. 

Thank you for looking!

Valentine Tag by Dianna

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with a Valentine with a Steampunk Twist.  I really could not help myself as soon as I seen the Bo-Bunny Paper "Star-Crossed" line, I just knew that it would look wonderful with Gina's Designs Eiffel Tower and Clockwork Penny Farthing.  I also wanted to include a heart for the Gina's Designs February Craft Group Challenge, so of course I went with a Steampunk heart. 
I covered a Gina's Designs X-Large Chipboard Tag with the Bo-Bunny Paper, used Vintage Photo and Black Soot to distress the edges (a lot).  I used Black Soot on the Eiffel Tower as a base coat and then used Stickles in three different colors to give it dimension.  The card stock dolies were spritzed with Ranger Sparkling H20's in a spritzer with a lot of water.  I have having a heck of a time with clogging of the normal Ranger Sprays so I made my own.  I will let you know on my next blog update if it worked or if that clogged too.   The Steampunk Heart and Clockwork Penny Farthing were "painted" with chalk ink in a bronze color, then distressed and Stickled. 
The Julie Nutting Media Doll was colored with Copic Markers and Bo-Bunny paper was used for her dress.  The underdress was spritzed with water and folded a couple of times (fan like) to get the ruffled effect.  I created a sleeve out of left over paper from the underskirt.  The opposite side of the striped paper is hearts (which is really cute).  I used red Stickles and dotted the hearts for extra sparkle. The suitecases are from a really cute Stamping Bella Stamp that I stamped, colored with Copic and cut out.  The Gina's Designs Art Deco Border was painted with gold chalk ink and spritzed and Stickled to create a tarinshed look. 
Sparkling H20 was used on the Balloon and then brushed corduroy Stickles was used to create a rope look.  I Stickled the teal paper to give more depth to the balloon.  I included a couple of pictures of the balloon because you really cannot see it well in the overall photo.
 Finally, I stamped the RubberNecker Stamps on plain cardstock and distressed the edges with bronze chalk ink.
