Romantic card and tag by Ayeeda

Hello, It's Aida here with my new projects for September.

Our theme at Zeus and Zoe this month is Frills and Romance and we have amazing "Inspiration Board" too. 

\

I do not create many romantic projects, but sometimes  every girl likes to make something with pink, frills, laces and roses:) This time I created a card, matching tag and a little pendant. I used a lot of beautiful laces, flowers and jewelry embellishments to create this projects. You can find them in Marivic's beautiful kits on Etsy. I added a little bit of 13 arts paints, mists, gel medium and gesso.

To create this card I started with sticking some laces to the background, then I added some flowers and other embellishments using gel medium as a glue. 

Then I added some colors (paints and mists) and gesso on the top of it.

At the end, I added more gel medium and strewed some silver microbeads over it.

I used the same techniques to create this tag:

 

And at the end I created this really easy, but very beautiful pendant (I love the quote too;) 

I took ready-to-use embellishment from Zeus and Zoe, then I added a silver chain, more silver jewelry parts and a ribbon:

 

I hope you like my projects :)

Hugs,

Little Gift with a decorated box

Hello everyone! It's Riikka here with my second project for June. We got some lovely papers from Donna Salazar and dies from Couture Creations and I created my project with those together my Zeus and Zoe kit. The creation has two parts - a little gift box made of two sheets of 6x6" papers and a necklace inside.

The gift box is made using an origami box instruction. I made the top part using the 6x6 sheet as such. To make the bottom part, I trimmed a centimetre of the other sheet. The origami instructions are really simple and you can make a box like this in no time!

To decorate the cover, I used items from my kit together with sponsored goodies. The butterfly is fuzzy cut from a piece of Donna Salazar paper as well as the "Beauty" tag. The little banner is a diecut. The heart underneath is cut with a Couture Creations' die. The lace, the flower and the rhinestones are from my Zeus and Zoe kit.

Inside the box you can find this necklace. The blue heart is cut from transparent shrink plastic with  Couture Creations' die. I don't recommend to use the die for shrink plastic as it can damage the die, but I just had to give it a go! After shrinking the piece with a heat tool, I colored the heart pale blue with alcohol inks.

The little rings as well as the chain are from my own stash, but other pieces in the necklace are from my Zeus and Zoe kit. The necklace includes some key charms, a few pearls from an old piece of jewellery and also a sparkling "diamond" chain.

Thank you for your visit! I also want to thank Marivic for this awesome opportunity to be a part of a great, super talented design team. Thank you all team mates, too, you rock! Wishing you all a great day and lovely summer!
