Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner.  The challenge is to use stripes or dots.   

I received this cute but sassy image from Mirtillamente Craft Shop to color and design with.

 

Here is the card I created.

 I colored the image with my Copic Markers:

I finished the base of the card using the Coffee line from Echo Park. The dots and stripes can be seen on the pattern paper as well as the stripes on her outfit. I finished the card with an organza ribbon bow. 

Now it is your turn.  Create a card using stripes or dots or both and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog- Anything Christmas

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Christmas is getting closer.  How are you doing on those Christmas cards and projects?  Today we want to see your Christmas makes over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog.

I had fun creating this Beachy Christmas tag.

I stamped the images from the Beachy Christmas set from Lawn Fawn and colored them with my Copics.

I created the base of the tag, using a steel rule die from Spellbinders and white cardstock.  I then used my distress oxide in Tumbled Glass to put some color on the tag.  I then die cut from Kraft paper, using the Lawn Fawn edge dies to create the sand.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Black ink.  I also distressed the sand with some brown ink. 

To finish the tag, I added some organza ribbon and bakers twine to the top.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment and then join the challenge at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog.

Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge #248- Halloween Colors

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner.  The theme is Halloween colors.  I loved coloring this cute "Witch's Brew" image from Leann's World 101

 

 I have to admit that I had a little bit of trouble coloring this image.  Here is the image and card I created.

 

 

I actually colored this image up twice, because I could not figure out the ears. I surveyed my design teamies and we decided that the two things on her head under the hat were in fact ears.

I used the following Copics to color this cute cat in a witch's brew.

Skin: E11, E21, E51, E50

Hair: R59, YR27, TR23

Hat and Dress: BV08, V17, V15

Brew and Hearts: G24, YG03, YG11

Mug and Spoon: 100, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1

Paw print: YR16, YR14, YR09

Ears: R32, R22, YR09, YR16, YR14

Eyes: G28, G24, G20

This image challenged me with the ears and the eyes, but challenge accepted.  The card base was created with pattern paper from Simple Stories and purple glitter cardstock from Michaels.

Now leave me a comment and then share your Halloween projects over at Crafty Gals Corner with us.

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #247 Signs of Fall

 

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Fall is coming.  Here in Southern California the weather is not fell, but the sights are there.  I look forward to cooler days and cooler nights.

Some of the sights I have been seeing are just those things on the card I designed using a Beccy's Place digital stamp. 

 

I colored the image "Autumn Blessings" using my Copic Markers.

 

Pumpkins YR27, YR68, YR15, E44, E43

Sunflowers: E47, E44, E43, YR04, Y19, YG67, YG17

Milk Can: C7, C5, C3, C1

Stool: E37, E33, E31

 

I used strips of Echo Park, Fall Breeze paper to create the background.  I then stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Scripty Autumn Sentiment set.  

Now it is your turn.  Leave me a message or comment on my card. Then go and create a "fall" card and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.  

Mix it Up Challenge Blog with a Twist- Create your own background

Hello Crafty Friends,

New month means new challenge st Mix it Up Challenge blog.  This month the challenge is anything goes, with a twist- create your own background.

I knew exactly what I was going to do.  My favorite fruit in summer is Strawberries!  This super cute stencil was a freebie from Taylored Expressions and I couldn't wait to ink it up!

 

 

I used 2 red colors and 1 green color of stamp pad I have on hand.  I placed each stencil down and blended the color with my blender brushes.  After I was done blending, I used the A2 Lacy Layers Die set from Waffle Flower to cut the scalloped edging on the panel.

I used black ink to stamp the "seeds" on the strawberries and the sentiment.  I used the same scallop die set to cut the sentiment piece.  

I adhered everything together on the card base and to finish the card, I added the black twine bow,

Now it is your turn.  Create a card background and share it with us at Mix It Up Challenge Blog.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

 

Have fun
