 Good morning!  I have a couple more cards to share today using one of my favorite stencils from the August release at:

Don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off!

This one is called Mid Century Star Mask - I used it in both traditional and reverse styles:

I would like to enter this 1st card below into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Going Around in Circles

AllSorts #856 - Embossing Heat or Dry

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

Just Add Ink - Choose 2 or More (circles & sequins)

I used Lindy's Magicals in Impressionist Ink for the background - it's one of my favorites, it's such a cool color and you never know which colors will pop out when you leave it alone instead of blending it into black! I love the bits of yellows & pinks & blues... I stamped the words & microphone from the Cheeky Divas kit (The Greeting Farm) into the circles left from the stencil with Versafine Black and embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I added some little sequin stickers to a few of the other empty spots. I stamped the girl from the same set out the same way, colored her with Copics and fussy cut. I drew some sparkles in her hair with a white gel pen and attached her with foam tape. Sentiment is from a Tim Holtz sticker book.

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

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesday - Inspired by a Song

Let's Craft & Create - AG/Optional Distressed Paper

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Use Die Cuts

For this one, I simply used the same stencil without drying it off so it had the nice leftover powder with water from the Impressionist Ink Lindy's Magicals and I just let it dry on a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped another girl from the same TGF Cheeky Divas set, colored her with Copics & drew the stars in her hair with a white gel pen. I fussy cut her & the microphone, adhered the mic to her and then attached her with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment out separately and die cut with one of the dies from the Decorative Sentiment Dies set at Emily Moore Designs, then added some rhinestone stickers to that for sparkle. Peace.

I created my background with alcohol inks on Yupo. I printed out my image from Krista Smith Stamps, colored with Copics and used a stitched edge oval nesting die to cut her out. I added some orange rhinestone stickers and a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. Peace.

This is a one-layer card on a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped the bee & bouquet from the Buzzy Blooms set at Unity Stamp Co. as well as the sentiment from Papertrey Ink with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I applied opaque texture paste through a honeycomb stencil (Tim Holtz/Ranger) in the corner and let that dry. I spritzed some Fossilized Amber Spray Stain in the corner and let it drip and flow into the empty spaces on the panel. I then colored the flowers with Lindy's Magicals (Pink Petal Panic from the Field Notes set) and Copics. I decorated both the front & back of the envelope with stamps from the same set (Buzzy Blooms, Unity Stamp Co.). I sponged the edges with black ink to finish it off. Peace.

Let's go on an adventure!

 Today I have another card to share using the adorable new mermaid digi from the August release at:

She's called Mermaids & Fishes and here's my card:

I grabbed a background from my stash and used a piece of a mermaid scale die cut that I had left over from another project for the background of this card. I printed out the mermaid and I separated the fish from her and printed that out larger, then colored them with Copics. I fussy cut and attached with foam tape. Added a sticker sentiment from my stash to finish it off.

Color Dare #717

 Hi friends!  We have a new color challenge for you today at:

I used all 4 colors on my card today:

I created my background with the Field Notes set of Lindy's Magicals, using Grazing Grasshopper and Pink Petal Panic. I printed out Flower Girl and Festival Boy (not in shop at the moment) from All Dressed Up, colored with Copics and sponged the edges with the darker pink ink. I attached the panel with foam tape, layering a die cut XO on top and a heart with a sticker text "love" in between the characters. I added one more heart/arrow die cut next to the sentiment on the bottom.

Life is More Magical... IG Tag Hop!

 I am so glad I stumbled upon the tag hop group on IG - I love making tags and this has given me an excuse to save them on a metal ring and actually display them!

You can find me on IG at @craftywitchyjenn

Our theme this time around was to use the paper towel technique. Now what I learned is that you really need paper towels with a good, clear pattern! Mine were more of just a wavy design, so I made the best of it!

I glued my paper towel on to a piece of watercolor paper, then die cut the tag from it (Gina K Designs Tag Trio die set). I then very lightly dragged a blue ink pad over it, then a black ink pad - I went a little more heavily on the edges with the black. I used some black texture paste through a star stencil to create the design on it. I stamped the witch (Simon Says Stamp Hocus Pocus set) & sentiment (Mama Elephant Magical Wizards set) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with Copics and fussy cut. I used a die cut from Emily Moore Designs on the sentiment and attached everything with foam dots. I then tied a black satin ribbon on it to finish it off.

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