Perfect Day to be Happy!

 One more for today - this one is for the following challenges:

I Love ProMarkers - Purple & Yellow

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

A Cut Above December - Anything with a Die Cut Goes

Passion for Markers - Add a Sentiment

I created my background by blending Distress Oxide inks on watercolor paper.  I used stamps from Polkadoodles, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and fussy cut before attaching with foam dimensional tape. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background and attached the die cut Polaroid frame behind the image. Peace.

Fla la la Mingo!

 Goooood morning! I had SO MUCH FUN making this card - I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

The Four Seasons - Anything Goes Winter

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - 'Tis the Season

Krafty Chicks #798 - Christmas

Just Add Ink #775


I created my background by blending distress oxide ink on a piece of watercolor paper. I then printed out the background scene from Make it Crafty and colored that with Copics. I stamped out the elements from the Fla la la Mingo set from Paperie Ink Stamps with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached them to the scene with foam dimensional tape. I added a premade sentiment on kraft cardstock and a few little gemstone stickers. Peace.

Sparkle and You're Not a Basic Witch

 I've got 2 projects to share today - first up is this cute lil tag I made for the following challenges:

Lil Red Wagon - J is for Just One Word

Dragonfly Dreams - Tags

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Wrap it Up

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Sparkle & Shine

Tag-along & ATC's - Anything Goes/Optional Red & Green

Stamping Sensations - Fantasy

I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Inks on a pre-made bookmark. I stamped the dragon from Lili of the Valley (Dragons & Unicorns set) directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then spot-colored him with Copics and Stickles. I stamped the stars and bubbles all around him, then stamped the "Sparkle" on a separate piece, cut it out and attached it to the bookmark, then outlined it with more Stickles. I added some gemstone stickers to finish it off. 

...........................

And next is a card I made for the following challenges:

4-Season Challenge - Sketch

AllSorts #838 - New or Anything Goes

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

I Love ProMarkers - Anything Goes or Purple & Yellow

This adorable witch was a freebie from Ohuhu, I colored her with Copics and matted her on a piece of DP, mimicking the sketch for the 4-Season Challenge. Sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I added a large gemstone sticker to finish it off. Peace.

TGIF #554 - Color Board

A Cut Above - Anything Goes with a Die Cut

I created my background by blending Broken China and Sage Bundle Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper, then spritzed with water. I then used a text stencil and applied more of the Broken China through that.  I used a previously distressed piece of watercolor paper in red to die cut the Christmas trees from the Three Trees Fancy Dies set from Hero Arts. Peace.

I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape and stamped the sentiments directly on the background. Peace.
