Tic Tac Toe #298 (I used sparkle, ribbon/twine, and butterfly)

I used some DP from Stampin' Up! and I applied Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide Ink through one of the butterflies in the Geometric Butterflies stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can always use code JennFan10 for 10% off) and embossed it with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I used a tag die from Mama Elephant and attached a little "peace" sentiment to it, tying it off with a ribbon. Finished it off with some rhinestone stickers for extra bling. Peace.

Mermaid & Fishes - All Dressed Up

 We have a new release for you at All Dressed Up Stamps and this adorable Mermaid & Fishes is definitely one of my favorites!

I distressed a piece of watercolor paper with pink & purple inks/sprays and then used a mermaid scale cover plate die to cut it out. I cut it into 2 pieces and removed a few pieces before attaching what was left on another piece of cardstock that I had printed the image on (Mermaid & Fishes from All Dressed Up). I colored her with Copics, die cut some seashells and attached them with foam tape, then added the sentiment & some rhinestone stickers.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Any Holiday

Die Cut Divas - White with a Splash of Color

Passion for Markers - Favorite Embellishment (die cuts)

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

you are amazing

 Hi friends!  Sadly, today is the last day of my birthday celebration. hee hee  BUT - I get to spend it with my parents, kids, and grandkids! My favorite people. :) My amazing daughter told me not to worry about cooking because that's normally my thing - so I'm letting her take care of it and I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful daughter who is also my best friend in the world.

This is called Mid Century Breeze Blocks Mask - don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off your order:

I used Lindy's Magicals to create my background on watercolor paper, I love the way some of the powders don't completely "burst" and leave little bright pieces of pigment on the paper. I used my Tag Trio Die from Gina K Designs to die cut the tag, then applied black texture paste through the Mid Century Breeze Blocks Mask stencil. I added some puffy text stickers from my stash and tied a pretty wispy multi-colored ribbon from my stash through it. I printed out my unicorn from the Dreamy Clipart Studio on Etsy, fussy cut and attached with foam tape.

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

Tag-alongs & ATC's - AG/Fashion (I think my colorful unicorn is pretty fashionable! LOL)

Try it on Tuesday - Make it Colorful

Stencil Fun - Anything Goes/Optional Clean and Simple

A Place to Start - AG/No Rectangles

Let's Craft & Create #234 - AG/Distressed Paper

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

I grabbed a background from my stash that matched the shade of blue in the inspiration picture. I added some opaque texture paste through a stencil and let it dry. I stamped a bit, added some rhinestone stickers, and a text sticker. I printed out the crow/sunflower tag from the Crow & Sunflowers Tags set at Conjurer of Dreams and sponged the edges in black, attached with a flower brad. I love the mixed media look of this card! Peace.
