Don't waste a moment... by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps ❤

Welcome back :)

Here's my latest card and some pics, how I made it.

I used the Iris Shutter #1911 from Elizabeth Craft Designs. You can find a tutorial video here:

Iris Shutter Tutorial

And that's how I made the final card:

01.) These are all the die cut pieces that I need for my card. Plus black cardstock, onto which everything will be glued at the end.

02.) First I assemble the lens. You can see how this works in the video I posted above.

03.) These 3 parts are now left. The two white parts and the arrow on the lens can now be designed.

04.) To color the background first, I take one of my handmade watercolor paints and color everything that is white.

05.) For the edges I choose a darker tone so that the shading can be clearly seen.

06.) Finally, I design all my pieces with my selected stamps. A saying is still missing here. I first fixed the outer ring with magnets - it will be glued on at the end. I cut the lower part of the card out of black cardstock so that it is a little larger on all edges. I then put the upper part on and mark the section of the circle to place my motif there, which can be seen when you open the lens later.

All stamps, I used:

- Unhappy Mosquito

- Don't waste a moment

- Silhouette clumps of plants

- Long stern with leaves

- Wildflowers silhouette

- Typeset scallop

other supplies:

- Iris Shutter cutting die

- Watercolor paper

- Cardstock

- 3D foam

- Versafine Clair

- Distress Oxides

- handmade watercolors

- Glue dots

See ya soon *mwah*

Gift box by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps :)

Welcome back on this Blog.

Today I'm here with a tiny box, which I needed for a little present.

And that's how I made it:

1.) I need two pieces of cardstock in the following sizes.

2.) I cut and fold the larger piece using the sizes entered.

3.) I do the same thing with the small piece.

4.) Folded and glued, I now have a small box with a lid.

5.) Now I want to decorate my box even more, so I cut appropriately sized pieces of watercolor paper.

6.) First I prime all parts with a rich yellow.

7.) I shade the edges of each piece with a dark pink.

8.) To stamp the pieces, I choose a chalk ink pad.

9.) I stamp a saying on the largest piece of paper using VersaFine Clair. It also serves as the lid of the box.

10.) Before I stick everything on, I add a few spritzes of Dylusions Shimmer Spray.

All stamps, I used:

- You are beautiful

- Swirl

Other supplies:

- Cardstock

- Watercolorpaper

- Scor Pal

- handmade watercolors

- ColorBox Chalk

- VersaFine Clair

- Ribbon
