Art Nouveau Projects: #10

Hey All!

Today I've got a simple card I made using the Cricut Imagine. I love how the Imagine makes matching colors and cutting layered images so quick and easy. I just filled the layers of the Art Nouveau cartidge using CCR, printed and cut it out and then touched it up with copics and added some glitter and dimensional adhesive.

One of my favorite types of ribbon is actually ribbon yarn. I bought a little skein at a boutique ribbon shop but I think Lyon carries basically the same thing in different colors. It wrinkles beautifully and the variegated colors are rich and lustrous.


To get the details in the leaves, just draw in veins using an embossing stylus over a rubber mat. I love how these flowers turn out. I embossed the background using a cuttlebug folder and the lined tag is from Imagine More Cards. The stamp I believe is Fiskars, from a wedding stamp set.

Ingredients:

• Cricut Cartridges used: Art Nouveau, Imagine More Cards
• Cardstock:
  
• ribbon: ribbon yarn
• Sentiment: Fiskars
• Other: cuttlebug embossing folder

Art Nouveau: #3

Hello again!

Here is a card that I made for my sister who loves anything to do with squirrels or acorns. When we were little, she had a tiny stuffed squirrel named Squirrelly (we were super original kids) who would go out and "collect" acorns until we had piles of them sitting around our room.

Anway, the oak leaves and acorns were cut from Art Nouveau and the squirrel was from
Give a Hoot


The details on the leaves and acorns were added using prismacolor pencils. The veins on the leaves were made using a rubber mat and stylus and I added diamond glaze on the acorns to make them shiny and then some stickles stardust glitter to add some bling.


The squirrel was also shaded with prismacolors and everything was popped up with scotch double sided foam tape. I added a little black dot for the eye. The background was printed on my imagine from the imagine more cards cartridge and then I added a strip cut with a Martha Stewart edge punch and a sentiment. The ribbon was more from my stash that I got from a little boutique notions shop.
