Love 2 Create DT

Welcome our Guest Designer Norma

Again, we are very pleased to welcome another Gust Designer here at Love 2 Create challenges and this week it's the very talented Norma Pechir Holland. You can check out all of Norma's wonderful creations on her beautiful blog - Creating and Sharing It

Here is a little bit about Norma ...

Hi, I’m Norma. I born in Mexico City, but I live in New York. Crafts have been part of my life since I can remember. Most of the things that I know I learned them from my mom, my life was around art because of her.
She taught me about mix media when I was 15 and even when I’m not as good as her, I love to make some projects for my house or for my good friends.

Below is the wonderful project Norma has created for her GDT spot ...

To make my project, I recycle a box of cheese, each time that I got that cheese, I have in my mind that something is possible with that box, and today was the day.

I used a piece of paper of the Belle Papillon Collection, that I love, some flowers from my stash and the beautiful butterflies from the same collection.

I'm sure you will agree that it is a beautiful upcycling project - thank you Norma for joining in with us at Love 2 Create challenges.

Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT. As you can see our talented team have been busy working their mixed media magic for you .....

 Terry:this time for your inspiration I made a Birthday Card. Clean and simple. I worked on the background with Distress Oxides and splashed water all over it this way the colors mix all together. Usually I work with brighter colors so this was a bit out of my comfortzone. After I dried the background with my heattool I Stamped with red ink. I used the butterflies from Nikky's stampset Bella Fleur A5 large Clear Stampset.  I just love butterflies. I colored them with Panpastels and the toplayer I used is crackle accents. Last but not least I placed a happy birthday sentiment and colored them with distress inks. 

I worked with these products:

Bella Fleur Large stamp set

Crackle Accents

Red Iron Oxide PanPastel

White PanPastel

Gemma: I made this beautiful box and notebook for a friend, the box is an MDF blank and the notebook was made form scratch. All the stunning papers used to decorate both are from the Polkadoodles Beau Paperie 6x6 craft paper pack.

Lou: I've decided to play with Odella Twig digi image from Polkadoodles to create a tag. Odella has been coloured with pencils but then I have triple embossed here adding additional coloured embossing powder to each layer. I was trying to go for a more aged look ...

We're all waiting here eagerly at Love 2 Create to see what you have created, so please link up below ...
