This month we celebrated two birthdays at our Rubber Ducky Club. First up is Michele Templeman. Her birthday theme was Halloween. Michele loves bling like I do so I wanted to really Bling it up.
I found a big pink jewel at a big box store so used that for the main focus. The back of the pink jewel is attached to a Tim Holtz Ornate Plate. I found a couple of pink round jewels to attach to the sides of the piece. Luckily they were the same color of pink. I Love Pink! Anyway, I took some Stampin' Up! Rhinestone Jewels and colored them with alcohol ink to make them a lime green. I found some lime green embroidery thread and tied a bow on top. I used a couple of Halloween Scrapbooking stickers to attach a witches hat on the top and a coldren on the bottom. I finished up the back of the piece with a piece of the Champagne Shimmer Paper that is new in the Holiday Mini catalog. I glittered the ghost and then added Crystal Effects to it. Love how it turned out. It definitely makes a statement. :)
Next up is Jane Price. Her birthday theme was Moose. I bought a couple of Moose charms to help get me started. I spent a couple of days awhile back looking for a specific die I own but couldn't find. In my search for the die, I came across a Moose punch I forgot I had....so put that aside to use on Jane's piece.
First I brayered a piece of Glossy White card stock with a multi color background that worked well for a sky backdrop and punched it out with a scallop oval punch. The Moose was punched out of Gold Mirricard. The trees in the background were made using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. I took a sponge dauber and only inked the two lower clumps of leaves and trunk. It was the perfect size to make this scene. I then put black embossing powder on and heated it...so now the background is done. I found a little old grass punch that I had to stand on to get it to punch each time. No wonder I hadn't used it in years!!! I cut out the white clouds from more glossy white card stock. SU Dimensionals made the moose stand out and I buried his hoofs in the grass. Nestabilities dies were used to cut the two outside ovals in black and Pumpkin Pie. Whaa laa a Moose Jewelry Piece.
I got my last Pearls & Lace Jewelry piece for my August birthday...last night from Michele Templeman. Now...to find time to finish my Shadowbox. I can't wait until it is finished. I"ll share the results when it's done.
Michele likes little stamps and tags so there is a lot on this small piece. I saved a place in my shadowbox for it...and it turns out that it has the subtle pink that goes with the others already received. What more could I ask???!!!???!!! :) It's been a fun year but I think we are all ready to go onto something else. Each new year brings another challenge.
Happy Stamping! Judy :)
