Chaos Theory - Color Dare #670

I had to squeeze this in because this is one of my favorite challenge blogs - I try to make sure I make at least one project for each of their color challenges, it's so inspiring, the colors are always so pretty!  So this is for the:

Color Dare #670


Interestingly enough, I started out with something completely different for this color challenge, but I ended up doing this one! I ink smooshed blue & green Oxide Inks on watercolor paper, then stamped the images from Visible Image directly on the background and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the flower on another piece of distressed watercolor paper in yellow, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace. 

Nothing More Perfect...

 I've been a day ahead all week this week, so I totally thought today was Friday! LOL  But I'm glad it's Thursday because it's literally the only day this week that I don't "have to" do something! Craft day it is! I'd like to enter my card below into the:

Festive Friday Challenge #194 - I used black, white, checks (sort of?), crowns, castle, horses, encouraging sentiment


I created this card with the Chess Pieces and Square Cut Out stencils from A Colorful Life Designs - you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off your entire order at the site!  I used Black Soot Distress Ink & Distress Oxide Ink for the chess pieces and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black, then embossed with clear embossing powder. Peace.

 We're off to Oktoberfest at Wachusett Mountain today - they do Fall Festivals every weekend for about 2 months, and Oktoberfest is a ton of fun. I'm looking forward to it after working so hard these past few weeks!

I'd like to enter my tag below into the following challenges:

Just Us Girls #794 Stencil Week 

 I created my background by ink blending Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink all over a piece of watercolor paper, then die cutting with a coffin-shaped die. I applied the Ghostly Web stencil from the September release at A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop) with permanent black ink. I stamped the adorable bat & witch hat from Tracey Hey's Batty About You set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I stamped the spider and sentiment from the same set directly on the background, then splattered some white ink on it. I attached a piece of stitched ribbon with an eyeball brad. Peace.
