You're a Star Virgo!

 

As sad as it makes me, Leo season is finally over.  SIGH. LOL  But - it's VIRGO season, baby! I used the BauHaus Ultrasounds stencil from the August release at A Colorful Life Designs on this project:

I made this card for one of my best friends and I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

All About Papercrafts - All About Frames!

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

A Cut Above - AG/Optional Fall (must use die cuts)

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Use Die Cuts

Creative Knockouts #577 - Use Your Favorite Embellie (die cuts!)

I used a piece of watercolor paper for my background - I started by spraying with Lindy's Magicals Glory of the Seas Gold Spray Shimmer, then I applied Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink on the stencil, misted with water and let it dry while laying on the paper, giving it that watercolor look. I distressed another piece of watercolor paper with more Black Soot DI and water, then die cut the frame from Mama Elephant's Line Detail Frames Creative Cuts set. I stamped the Virgo girl (Cosmic Stars from Mama Elephant) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. I stamped the stars & sentiment (Mama Elephant Starry Night) directly on the background, embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder, and added some Stickles. Peace.

Pisces ATC

 Good morning!  Today I have an ATC I'd like to share, I will enter this into the following challenges:

The Little Things #07 - Mermaids or Pisces/Fish

Tag-alongs & ATC's - AG/Optional Fashion

AllSorts #856 - Embossing Dry or Heat

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Lots of Layers

I used a scrap piece of watercolor paper with some pretty blue Lindy's Magicals on it to die cut my ATC (Mama Elephant's Artist Trading Card Creative Cuts) using all of the layers of pieces it includes, as well as the "fishbowl" (the fishbowl was a cauldron die that I cut the bottom & handles off of!). I stamped the Pisces fish from Mama Elephant's Cosmic Stars set directly on the fishbowl die and colored with Copics. I hand drew the bubbles and added some glitter to them, then layered that on top of the middle piece with foam tape. I stamped everything with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder - sentiments are from the Starry Nights set (no longer available) and the Spell Abilities set. Peace.

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.

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.
