QKD Card Is the Bee's Knees

I am loving the vintage images from Queen Kat Designs this month.  This image is digital and called Douglas and Emma, designed by artist Beverly Cowan.
I decided to make a triptych, which is a "set of three."  Instead of coloring the images with all colors of Copics, I colored the entire boxed image in one solid color, adding a little more depth to her dress and his suit.  For a little more highlight, I added diamond Stickles to her dress.  I framed them with black card stock.

I used a sheet of American Crafts paper from the Take A Note stack for the background, distressing the edges with ink.  After placing my images, I added a string of pearls (from a broken necklace), and a bit of lace for the top.  In the bottom corner, I shaded part of a paper doily with coordinating colors and stamped the sentiment using another QKD image from the Birthday collection.  I added some contrast to the patterns in the doily with black gel pen.

For a finishing touch, a threw on some sequins for extra sparkle.  Looking for vintage images?  The QKD Shop is the place to find them!  If you need some inspiration, visit the QKD Facebook page as well. You never know what crazy contests and prizes you'll find there!

Putting on the Ritz QKD Style

Everything is copacetic when you're using a fabulous image from Queen Kat Designs.  Here, I made a mixed media wall art that is now hanging up in my craft room.  I colored the QKD digi with Copics.  The image is called Emma and Douglas, designed by the talented Bev Douglas.

I started with an oval piece of wood and Mod Podged some patterned papers onto it.  Next layer included the colored image and sentiment.  I printed it on my computer.  Before I embellished with the flower and pearl flourish, I used Distress inks to age the edges of my scene.

It's a very simple project with a great presentation, and it took me less than half an hour from start to finish!  I have been dabbling in mixed media canvases and wall art for the last several months and really love it.  It's the "bee's knees."

Have you tried it yet?  It's a lot of fun, and plenty of YouTube Tutorials out there.
