Overthinking in Colour - Projects made by Smurf Murphy

 Hello everyone. 

Today I’m sharing projects created by Smurf Murphy using my “Overthinking in Colour” collection. 

And we’re starting with these fabulous ATCs! I absolutely love how Smurf used the bold black-and-white backgrounds together with pops of bright colour and strong, expressive characters. 

The little phrases “overthinking in colour” and “cute but exhausted” fit the mood of the collection perfectly.

Another project made by Smurf is a folder with tags. I really like how she turned the papers and elements into something that is not only creative, but practical too. The tags add even more colour, texture and personality to the whole project.

Smurf also created this gorgeous card using the “Overthinking in Colour” collection.

I love the contrast between the black-and-white background and the bright pops of colour, especially around the camera and little flowers. 

The sentiment “It’s better to take a risk than miss a moment of magic” finishes it off perfectly.

If you’d like to create with “Overthinking in Colour” too, the collection is available in my Etsy shop.

Hugs,

Karolina

Book tag

 Hello everyone.

I am sharing a couple of photos of the book tag I created during my live.

The book tag and the first page were made during my streaming. To create this book tag, I used my Gelli Art Prints collection and a lot of products from Pretty Gets Gritty.

Christmas Tag

Hello everyone.

Pretty Gets Gritty had a beautiful launch last Saturday on Create & Craft TV, and I am sharing a sample I made.

I covered my tag and die-cut elements with white gesso.

When all parts were dried, I added an Emerald Haze spray.

Also, I add a bit of the Rose Gospray to my tag.

Then using a stencil, I made some snowflakes.

I used Rose Gold, Bronze and Vintage Patina spray to decorate die-cut elements.

Also, I added some Pretty Explosions.

After drying everything well, I stuck a lace and built a composition.

I added some ribbon, twine and natural cones to finish.

Hugs.

Tag with butterflies

 

Hello everyone.

Karolina here. My new inspiration is a simple tag. I created this project by using a tag from a Chipboard Decorative Tags X Large set.

I start the project by covering my tag with paper. I decided to use my Gelli Art Prints collection.

I cut out two pieces to cover the tag on both sides and stuck them to the tag using glue.

Then I stamped butterflies using VersaMark ink for embossing. The next step was to add some white embossing powder and use a heat tool.

I have used a black vax to contour my tag.

To add a texture to my tag, I used paste and stencil.

Then I tried to match words and stuck them. After using different stamps, I decorated this tag, and when I was happy with it, I splashed it using Sparkle by Spectrum Noir. In the end, I attached ribbons.

I hope you enjoyed my project and have inspired you to make one for yourself.

Thank you for stopping by!
