Love Makes the World Go Round

Happy Tuesday all! Pam here today to share another project with you featuring the World Stamp set from PWP.

I love coloring and fussy cutting so for this card I stamp the "world" several times with Memento Black ink and colored with Copics- then cut out. 

The background is a night sky created with Ranger Distress inks, layered with the stars using a The Crafter's Workshop stencil and Hero Arts Unicorn White Spray ink. 

The sentiment "love makes the world go round" was stamped in Archival Black alternating with the World image.  The fussy cut  and colored images were then adhered atop the stamped images by running through my Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker.

Thanks for joining me today and be sure to come back and visit The Aviary and  my blog for more great PWP inspiration! And don't forget to check out the store for more great stamps!

And as always- Embrace Imperfection!

Tutorial Tuesday-Alcohol Inks

Hello Paper Wings Productions fans!  Erica here with you today to bring you a fun tutorial using alcohol inks.  Now I hit the jack pot about 2 years ago and found someone selling a huge lot of alcohol inks and accessories!  To be honest they have been sitting untouched for a very long time until last night!  I had so much fun getting my hands dirty and creating some fun backgrounds for my cards!  I can not wait to try some more techniques with these inks so stay tuned for more alcohol ink post from me!

Now lets get started shall we!  Here is a list of materials you will need.

• various colored alcohol inks
• glossy cardstock
• alcohol blending solution
• Ranger blending tool with a felt pad
• paper trimmer
• Paper Wings Productions stamps
• craft mat

I started by trimming down my 8.5 x 11 glossy card stock to 5.5 and then again at 4.25.  This game me 4 pieces of glossy card stock to work with.  

I pulled out a variety of alcohol inks to create two different color palettes.  

I applied one to two drops of alcohol ink onto my felt pad and just an FYI a little bit goes a long way!

Next I took the blending tool and began to stamp it down onto my glossy cardstock making sure to cover up most of the cardstock but also leaving a little bit of white showing through.

Once my cardstock was covered I added a little bit of the Adirondack Alcohol Blending Solution to my felt blending tool and then again stamped it down onto my glossy cardstock to help the colors blend together.

The finished background looks amazing and I just love how the colors blend together!  This technique can be used on any non-porous surface and I hope you will give it a try!  Once my backgrounds were complete I trimmed them each down to 5.25 x 4.  I pulled out a few of my favorite sentiment stamps from Paper Wings Productions and stamped them onto some vellum cardstock with VersaMark ink.  Next I  heat embossed them in white embossing powder and adhered them to my background panels.  The stamp sets I used were Thankful, Celebrate, and Happy and I just love the beautiful font of these stamp sets.  Here is a look at my completed cards using this alcohol ink technique.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and I would love for you to give it a try and share with us on Facebook, Instagram or in our Flickr Gallery!  We love to see what our fans our creating so make sure to tag Paper Wings Productions!  The September mixed media kit was released yesterday and you are going to love this months kit!  I am extremly excited about this months kit and I can not wait to start creating with it!  To purchase a kit or to see the kit contents click here!  We also released two new stamp sets that you are going to love!

Mixed Media Mondays:Spread your wings Bottle frame

Hello my dear friends and welcome to our Mixed Media Monday! 

 Irit is here today and this time with another Mixed Media project.

My project this time is an altered chipboard Bottle frame from Tando creative, but then it is full of our gorgeous PWP stamps, cut image and all possible mediums too.

It's an easy project to make even for not experienced MM crafter: all the work is done over the solid cream cardstock and  then embellished over the frame.

The cardstock is cut to the basic chipboard shape and then I added a few parts of one single stencil (TCW)  with gesso only. I made it pretty much around the frame as I wanted to leave space for the cut out  image  and for some stamping too.

I used  Build a Shrine set of  stamps- the upper one with an angel  and a part of the Celtic knot here and there. Then I added a few splashed of Textures  stamps and then, as it happens with  frames, the Angel was suddenly all covered. So we need to be creative and I just added it over the frame and over the heat embossed with red powder heart. All inside of the frame was misted with a mix of Nantucket mists set ; 

so was the cut out Angel head.

The girl from Summer clip art sheet was hand cut and glued  over the background. 

Then I stamped a pair of wings from Wings set over vellum and heat embossed with gold embossing glitter. The cut out wings were glued over the  image back and now she became an angel too.

Anything else was just embellishing: golden leave, vintage flowers, some pearls, a bit of lace and the cap, heat embossed with the same glitter as my wings.

This is a lovely vintage piece that can be a great gift to a teen girl who adores fairies and angels, pearls, flowers and golds.
