Webby Leaf - A Colorful Life Designs

 Happy Saturday!  We have a busy weekend planned - my husband and I run a rather large cannabis competition and tradeshow event every year on Veteran's Day weekend.  This year will be our 10th event! We are accepting submissions into our competition up until Sunday, when we have a little party and let everyone who waited until the last day hang out a bit. It's a lot of fun but a lot of work! If you're interested, feel free to check us out at The Harvest Cup!

Today I have another card to share with one of the stencils from the new release at A Colorful Life Designs. This one is called Webby Leaf - and don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off!

I used some Distress Oxide Inks and blended them on a piece of watercolor paper, then sponged the edges with extra black ink. I applied more Black Soot Distress Oxide ink through my Webby Leaf stencil. I stamped the images (31 from Unity Stamp Co.) directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored the spider with Copics. 

I would like to enter my card below into the following challenges today:

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

 Squeezing in one more for the:

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #300 (I used 2 different rows - letters/numbers, sentiment, and die cut/punch and also die cut/punch, patterned paper, and bright colors)

My papers are from Unity Stamp Co.'s Bohemian Dream paper pad. I used the same paper pad to die cut the numbers from, and stamped the sentiment on the background with Scorched Timber Distress Ink. I stamped my martini girl (Stamping Bella) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. Peace.

Wishing You Bountiful Blessings

 Time for another new stencil from the September release at:

This one is called Fall Foliage - don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off:

I used the reverse stencil technique on this one, I love the watercolor look of the background. I used the same colors to die cut some Autumn leaves (This Calls for Confetti), then I die cut the frame and the tag (Mama Elephant's Line Detail Frames Creative Cuts set) from Kraft cardstock. I sponged the tag's edges with black ink and stamped the sentiment on it (Unity Stamp Co.) with Versafine Black, then embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I added some little orange rhinestone stickers to finish it off.

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

I used the Nested Coffin dies from Scrapbook.com for my shaped card - I just left one edge off of the die when I ran it through my machine, leaving the long side on the left folded. I stamped the gnome (stamps from the Witch Way set from Unity Stamp Co.) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dots. I used the Ranger Tart Cranberry Mica Spray to drip down the white coffin to mimic blood, then stamped the sentiment on that. I added some die cut spider webs and some red pearl stickers. Peace.

Pumpkin Tag & Flying Witch

 Hello all - I'm back with two more projects to share highlighting the September stencil release at:

Don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off! This one is called Two Fall Panels:

I used Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil, then used a tag die to cut it out. I sponged the edges, added a little xoxo sticker from a Tim Holtz sticker book, and tied a piece of ribbon from my stash (Stampin' Up!) on it.

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

And next is the Flying Witch stencil:

I first stenciled the moon (Tim Holtz) with Distress Oxide Ink on watercolor paper. I then stenciled the Flying Witch with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment (Ink Road Stamps Flying Monkeys set) with Versafine Black and embossed with the same clear sparkly embossing powder. I sponged the edges with black ink and matted on a black card base. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I love the SSS products and have several of their stamp sets - this one is called Hocus Pocus. I grabbed a background from my stash that I had made previously with a stencil and some purple & yellow inks. I stamped the books and sentiment directly on the background (everything is stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder), then stamped the witch out separately and fussy cut her. I colored with Copics and attached her with foam tape.

Peace.

do more than exist - ATC & Card

 Good morning!  I spent the entire day in my craft room yesterday and it was so soothing. Hubby went and played disc golf all day and grabbed us a pizza for dinner, such a nice relaxing day!

I would like to enter my ATC here into the following challenges:

ATC Around the World #141- Mushrooms

Tag-alongs and ATC's - AG/Optional Circles

Kreativ-Tanten Challenge #117 - Forest

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Use Die Cuts

I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper that I had already colored with some Lindy's Magicals and die cut an ATC with the Artist Trading Card Creative Cut from Mama Elephant. I did some script stamping (Hero Arts Mixed Textures stamp set) on it and sponged the edges with black. I then die cut some fern leaves (mushroom & leaf dies from Hero Arts Mushrooms & Ferns Fancy Dies set) from the same paper. I die cut the mushrooms from some more scraps and colored them with my ink blending brush and some Distress Inks. I attached everything with adhesive and used foam tape on the last mushroom.

Then I turned the ATC into a card that I'd like to enter into the:

Just Add Ink #793 - Color & Inspiration

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

A Cut Above September - Anything Goes (with die cuts)

Die Cut Divas - Recycle, Reuse, & Repurpose (recylced scraps of watercolor paper for ATC & leaves)

Creative Inspiration #42 - Anything Goes

I applied the same color Lindy's Magicals (Vintage Vines from the Garden Chronicles set) to a new piece of watercolor paper and then stamped more of the stamps from the Mixed Textures set all over it. I layered a piece of black cardstock that I had left over from another project under the ATC, then added a little text sticker from a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker book. Peace.
