*****Fairy Dust JustRite 053

   A favorite JustRite stamp ensemble of mine is Quiet Moments and I chose bits and pieces of it to create my card.  I began by stamping and masking... stamping and masking the long branch with flowers; stamping, cutting and coloring with Copics the little girl; stamping and cutting from vellum,two sets of wings; stamping, cutting and coloring an extra bow; and making  25 little 3d flowers using Spellbinders Blossom 3 and making the border from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents . Once the branches were stamped using Memento   and the flowers were colored with Copics (just in case the 3d flowers didn't cover everything) I stamped the sentiment  found in the same Quiet Moments set.  Fairy dust...hmmmm.... The dryer sheet technique worked very well.  I covered the stamped card with a used dryer sheet (spray adhesive was used to attach the dryer sheet to the card) and then liberally sprinkled Art Institute's glitter (color: Mimosa).  Excess glitter was bushed away and then I began the process of  constructing the card.  The flowers (directions below) were glued to the branches, the little girl's bow was pop dotted to her dress, the two sets of wings were put together and "ruffled" for a 3d effect and attached to the little girl's back with a tiny seed pearl . Now she is a fairy and she chose to climb up and settle on a branch to keep a watchful eye on things!
      Note: I made the flowers by using the smallest die from Blossoms 3 and cutting the flowers from white tissue paper.  I used Lumin Arts paint in various shades from light pink to dark pink to color each flower shape.  While wet, I placed it on the end of the paint brush and pinched and swirled to obtain the desired shape.  They were then set aside to dry before attaching them to the card.  Liquid Pearls was applied to the border punch to add a sheen to that element of the card.
   It is finished and I hope viewing this card will provide you a Quiet Moment and give you a time of reflection for all that is beautiful in your life.

***************JustRite046 & ScorPal Fan

 The Just Rite Friday Challenge started off the New Year of challenges with a a thought provoking one!  Sponsored by Scor-Pal ...use scoring (not just folding the card) in a project featuring Just Rite stamps.
 Just when it is bitterly cold and the country is covered in snow, I want to think of warmer weather and sipping a minty drink while lazily waving a fan to and fro.....dreaming lol!

   Starting with a sturdy piece of Vellum I used  Just Rite's Small Oval Wood Stamper with Font. to randomly stamp and wet emboss with white embossing powder.  Once heat set, I colored each image using Prisma colored pencils.  After each flower pattern was colored I reversed the sheet and dry embossed the large purple flower to give the paper some dimension.  Next I called the Scor-Pal into action and scored the vellum on each inch marking.  Then I flipped the paper and scored on each 1/2" marking.  Next came the process of folding "mountains and valleys" using the bone folder to set the creases.  A "million" seed pearls were glued randomly among the floral images and white/crystal stickles was used to highlight the top edge and each 'mountain and valley'.  The bottom was gathered and tied with a lavender silk ribbon  and double bow (May Arts).  I added a few ribbon roses and strings of pearls to complete the fan.

   

The tag was created by cutting a tag shape from a piece of backing that came from something I bought (I seem to keep all sorts of things that "I might use someday" lol!)  Look closely and you can see where Scor-Pal was used again to accent the scripted lines on the tag.  Now, the next part...Cherish is from Just Rite's 10 Designer Centers and Borders.  I white embossed and cut it to fit the square dimensional block I adhered to the tag.  Now look very hard. (and think) I took a 2 inch square piece of heavy paper. Using Scor-Pal I scored it both vertically and horizontally then turned and scored each diagonal.  Then each corner was foled into the center.  And then the tip of the corner was pulled back leaving about a quarter of an inch border.  This created a hollow center that I "popped" the Cherish piece of paper on.  The corners of the square I enhanced with Liquid Pearls then added pearls and ribbon roses.  I attached the tag to the fan using a loop of strung pearls.

I hope you enjoy and can think about warmer weather too while imagining yourself using a fan like this one.
