Happy Feet * Happy Baby Shower * Elegant and Simple * Reclaimed and Green

Designed for my Best Friend this was a complimentary project, but a beautiful result! What was meant to be a subtle tribute to Happy Feet turned out to be a very elegant Baby Shower Invitation with matching Thank You Cards!  Although the penguin image itself has copy write I am able to make similar invitations with just as much pizzazz and a image of your choice!  





I used reclaimed invitations purchased from my local Goodwill store in McHenry,IL.  The white background, and blue paper with flourishes were from packs of invitations that were partially used and donated.  I was none to happy to reclaim them and upcycle them into these beautiful invitations.  The egg shape holds a Stampin' up stamp, "You're Invited".  The penguin image was purchased from http://deliciousdoodles.blogspot.com/2011/11/penguin-family.html and was printed on a laser printer onto white card stock.  The images were then hand chalked with blue for ice and orange and yellow accents to bring life to the penguins. Very little paper waste was created during this project as the scraps were used to accent the Thank You cards and make floral accents on coordinating envelopes!
Green and Beautiful, the best of both worlds!

Steampunk and Just A Little Wizard of OZ

A little Steampunk and a little Wizard of Oz!  The Great and Powerful Oz inspired these creations.  The movie theatre was giving away posters to advertise the new OZ movie!  I created some magical cards by cutting out the best parts of the posters and adding some gold embossing and complimentary colors to matte the image.  Crinkle paper makes these dimensional and bling adds just enough to make it fancy!






Now Entering the World of Steam Punk

I have been working hard on new Steampunk designs! If you haven't heard of this phenomenon it is a design based upon Science Fiction from the early 1900's when people imagined the world would run on steam power. Gears, clocks and some other rather interesting design concepts are at its heart. It imagines a world where predomination by electricity and petroleum never happens. Check out http://www.steampunk.com/what-is-steampunk/  The following designs are just the beginning, more to come soon!  All for sale in my Etsy store! https://www.etsy.com/shop/LanaBugDesigns


The gold is embossed using Versa mark and gold embossing powder!  Tim Holtz paper adds some extra nice details to some of the cards and 7 Gypsies cling stamps from Michael's Arts and Crafts allowed me to add the clock embellishments.
