Elegant Steampunk Chipboard Card - Guest Designer

Hi Crafty Ladies,
First, I began by selecting the background papers and then chose coordinating ink. If you color your chipboard first and then search your stash for some paper that matches, you will often end up frustrated. I applied metallic ink to this gear filled heart but they can be easily colored many different ways. All the card needed was a few pretty flowers and jewel embellishments. Frequently, I choose to leave the card design without a sentiment so that I can use it for any last minute need that arises. You can browse all the beautiful chipboard designs from White Rose Crafts...HERE.

Sneak Peek- Shabby Chic Treasure - Guest Designer

I must confess I am not always very good at following sketches or keeping a CAS design. I still follow the basic structure but my creativity tends to wonder from the path. Even though I added more details and embellishments, the oval focal point is on the lower left with a sentiment and a vertical stripe. The proportions of the design look different as I used a square card base.  Here is a sneak peek of my card Shabby Chic Treasure.

So don't feel too confined to follow a sketch challenge exactly. Just allow as much or as little as you need to guide your design while still allowing your originality to soar. You can find more great inspiration on the White Rose Craft Blog HERE.

Mixed Media Vintage Butterfly Cards - White Rose Crafts Guest Designer

Today on the White Rose Craft Blog I am sharing a step by step mixed media project. Don't let that phrase "mixed media" scare you away. I'm simply using multiple craft mediums beyond just paper on my project. Let me show you how I easily added a pop of color to some patterned paper to create a great focal point for the stamped image. I enjoyed the result so much I just couldn't stop and I created a second variation on the first design with the same elements in different colors. You can find the tutorial and see the second card HERE.
