BLOOMTANGLED Blog Hop & Linky Party at STAMPlorations!


Hello crafty friends!
I'm excited to be hopping along with the STAMPloration Girls for the


On August 2nd, I showed you a little sneak peek of the 
pages I colored. Both pages are colored with PrismaColor pencils.
Here are the projects I've made with them:

First up is a birthday card using this page:




 and the inside:


Once the Bloomtangled coloring page was colored, I added a Stick It adhesive sheet to
the back of it, and die cut a section out using one of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies.  The card base was lightly stenciled using the ARTplorations Delicate Links stencil
before I adhered the coloring book panel. I die cut the Dragonfly laying dies, added Stickles and rhinestones and adhered once dry. The Enchanting word die was cut three times, stacked and glued, and 
more Stickles added before adhering to the card base. On the inside, I used a sentiment from

For my second project, I created a mixed media wall hanging using the
second page I colored:




Here are some close ups:











I started with a thick piece of cardboard that I already had gessoed and punched holes for
hanging a while back. I used matte medium to adhere the colored page to the board. (I brushed too
much in some areas and the coloring started to bleed. Grrrr! Oh well, I covered most
of the spots up with the die cuts. LOL!)
I painted yellow acrylic paint around the edges. Once dry I used a white paint pen and made
stripes around the yellow area. When that dried I drew in black lines using a Faber Castell Artist PITT pen. At this point I sprayed an acrylic sealer onto the board. I found some beaded fringe and some bright pink rose ribbon in my stash and glued them on the bottom. I die cut two of the Dragonfly layering dies and one of the Flutter Zen layering dies, and added Stickles to them. I also cut three Enchanting word dies, stacked and glued and also added Stickles. It occurred to me when I was placing the sentiment die that it got lost in the background. So I die cut two more in black card stock and glued them on the back, offsetting one top left and the other bottom right so there was a shadow around the word. After all the die cuts were adhered, I added more Stickles to the flower centers, because you can never have too much sparkle! All that was left to do was string some beads onto wire and attach. I also added a few tassels on one side for some more whimsical fun.

Congratulations! You made to the end of my photo heavy and long winded post! LOL!
