Modern art and crazy daisy cards!

I have been amazed by this video on partial die cutting posted by Jennifer McGuire Ink!

The first time I gave it a try with something very simple, but this time I decided to put a bit more efforts (and patience) and try something more complex (still very far away from Jennifer’s works though)

The card with brown/golden nuances has been created by using one of the dies from the Scribbles and Splat Sizzix set.

The squares on the front of the card have been cut out from Oxygen Marble Prune paper with a die of the 657565 Framelits Pack.

For the card in green-ish tones I’ve partial die cut the front by using the Enchanting blossom die cut from Sizzix and used some Polka dots scrapbooking tape to decorate the top and bottom of the window.

I’ve then used the left over flowers from die cutting to embellish the upper stripe and some rhinestones for the centre of the flowers.

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects and soy wax has an incredible scent throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented. G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
