Deco Fans - A Colorful Life Designs

 I feel like I missed the entire month of March.  It was so chaotic that I never had a chance to share most of my creations for the March release at A Colorful Life Designs.  It was one of my favorite releases, so I wanted to make sure to share ASAP!  I would like to enter this first card into the following challenges:

Stencil Fun - AG/Optional Patterns

Make My Monday - Make it Green

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Shades of Green

I used the Deco Fans stencil, ink blending a darker shade of green on top of the watercolor paper that I had blended a lighter shade of green all over. I spritzed with water and flicked some green Mica Spray on it, added the die cut "thanks" and some pearl stickers.

I used the same stencil on the cards below, it's so versatile and fun to play with, I love how you can create such different designs with the same stencil:

Happy 5th Birthday

 Found myself making quite a few birthday cards this week - here's one I'd like to enter into the following challenges:

LIFT Challenge #195 - Elevator

Pink & Main - Birthday Cards

Crafter's Cafe - Anything Goes

SSS Wednesday - Happy Birthday

Seize the Birthday - Milestone Topping

This card was inspired by the LIFT challenge (link above) - I die cut the 5 out of the main card and then layered a piece of distressed watercolor paper behind it.  I used the same paper to die cut the balloons from. I stamped Happy Birthday from LOTV Stamps, sponged a bit of black ink over the whole card, and finished it off with some gemstone stickers. Peace.

You BAKE the world a better place!

 Hello all! I was excited to be asked to do a guest designer spot for the

FarmQuest Homestyle Kitchen Challenge #4

My papers are from Doodlebug Designs - I used an inlay die cut from the Circular Elements set at Altenew and stamped the sentiment on the paper that shows through. I stamped the mixing bowl on DP and used a Copic marker to make some highlights. Stamps are from Colorado Craft Company (Bake Me Happy is sold out, Secret Ingredient is still available) - I stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with Copic alcohol markers and a white pen. I then die cut the sugar sack and baker's hat, fussy cut the piggy and the bowl and attached with foam dimensional tape. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

Paper Funday - Anything Goes/Optional Starts with Letter "B" (Baking)

My Time to Craft - Celebrate Someone Special

Thank you! Peace.
