Try it on Tuesday - Make it Magical

I stamped the crystals from The Greeting Farm's Hocus Pocus Big Kit directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then filled in with Stickles. I stamped the girl from the same set the same way, colored with Copics and Liquid Diamonds, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. Peace.

I stamped Tiny Townie Wonderland White Rabbit from Stamping Bella with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. Colored with Copics, Stickles, and Diamond Glaze, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. Finished it off with a stitched ribbon and some red pearl stickers. Peace.

Coffee & Owls

 Good morning friends. I had something scary happen to me last week - I had a seizure for the 2nd time in my life.  Coincidentally (or not?), 4 years TO THE DAY from the first one.  October 28. I have to follow up with another MRI and EEG in the next few weeks and see what's going on but I have my big event that I run coming up on Nov 13/14 so I'm just trying really hard to take it easy and not overdo it... so much easier said than done. Sigh. I spent a little time in my craft room yesterday since that's my peaceful place.

I made this first card for the:

Krafty Chicks #844 - Anything Goes with Coffee

Papers are from Doodlebug Designs and Stampin' Up! Digi is from Mo's Digital Images, I colored her with Copics and fussy cut, then attached her with foam tape. 

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

And I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cut it Up #368 - Thankful/Grateful/Blessed

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge - N is for Nocturnal

As You See It #384 - Feathers

I used papers from Unity Stamp Co. and my rounded edge nesting rectangle dies. Stamps are from Mama Elephant's Owl Are You? set, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I added a die cut feather to finish it off. Peace.

A Colorful Life Designs November Release: Field of Stars

 Good morning! Time for a new stencil release at:


This one is called Field of Stars:

I created my background by sprinkling some Lindy's Magicals in Impressionist Ink through my stencil, then spritzing with water. I die cut the Terrific Ticket dies from Unity Stamp Co. out of watercolor paper and then sprinkled Peony Pink Party from the Garden Chronicles set at Lindy's on that, spritzing with water and letting dry. I stamped the sentiment on that with Versafine Black and embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder, then added some little rhinestone stickers. I printed out my sweet little witch from Mo's Digital Images (Moon Child Witch) and colored her with Copics. I used a rounded edge rectangle nesting die to cut her out, fussy cutting around her broom, then attached with foam tape. I added a little die cut cauldron to the corner.

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

Lil Red Wagon #882 - S is for Stencil

Try it on Tuesday - Make it Magical

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Passion for Markers - Fave Stamp or Digi (Mo's Digital Images have some of my all-time favorite digis!)

Crafty Gals Corner #281 - AG/Optional Trick-or-Treat

Thank you for stopping by! Peace.

Trust Yourself - 613 Avenue Create: November

 The Front Porch Gang have a new challenge for you at:

Our optional theme this month is:

The Sentiment is the Star

I made a little canvas for a friend of mine. I started by applying Gesso to the 4x4 canvas, then I used some Lindy's Magicals in Impressionist Ink. I had this negative of a die-cut butterfly in my stash, and I thought it worked perfectly for my little canvas so I used Mod Podge to glue it down. I added a die cut leaf and a little sticker sentiment from a Tim Holtz sticker book. 

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

Creative Artiste Mixed Media - Anything Mixed Media Goes

Creative Moments #287 - Things with Wings

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Thank you for visiting! Peace.
