Just Us Girls Stencil Week #820

fjdlajflda. Peace.

hello & Paris

Hi friends - I have 2 cards to share today. The first is for the following challenges:

Colorful Options April - Yellow or Rainbow

Triple B - Birds/Butterflies/Blooms with optional mood board

Passion for Markers #834 - Dots and/or Stripes

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

I stamped the flower from Unity Stamp Co.'s Boho Blooms set directly on the watercolor cardstock base in Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, then used some Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Ink through a stencil around the image, then misted with water and let dry. I sponged the edges with the same color ink. Finished it off with a tiny sticker sentiment.

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

I have a good friend, more like a sister, who LOVES all things Paris. I always think of An when I see anything to do with Paris/France/travel... so I made a card for her for the:

Cupcake Inspirations #636

I created my background by ink blending some Distress Oxide Inks on a piece of watercolor paper and spritzing with water. I stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder (I bought this stamp set at a flea market so I don't know the manufacturer). Peace.

It's Your Special Day!

 Hello all! I definitely tend to have a preference for cute stamps and images, they are so much fun to color and the clean lines are easier to fussy cut! LOL I love the stamps from CC Designs - definitely one of my favorite companies! I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Art Nudge #426A

Simon Says Stamp Monday - More Than One Stencil

Try it on Tuesday - Make Your Own Background

Seize the Birthday #325 - Primarily Pink

Addicted to Stamps #515

I created my background with 2 stencils - the Love Waterfall stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop) and the larger heart stencil is from Erin Lee Creative. I stamped the sentiments directly on the card with Versafine Black and embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder and attached the filmstrip die diagonally across the card. I used the Birthday Swissies set from CC Designs (OMG it's on clearance right now for $5.60 - RUN!), stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

Polkadoodles - Graduation Day!

 Goooood morning! The Polkadoodles DT have some more projects to inspire you to play along with our challenge!  Don't forget that you have a chance to win a $20 store credit or one of 2 chances to win a $10 store credit!

The digi stamp I used for my Graduation card is called Cute Girl in Gown Graduation School Student - I colored her with Copics and fussy cut both her and her graduation cap, then attached them with foam dimensional tape.  The papers are from the Graduation School Student paper pack. - I used my paper punch on the lined paper to mimic paper being ripped from a notebook. I printed out the entire sheet of sentiments from the Graduation School Student Sentiments Quotes, then trimmed and attached the "congratulations" and "so proud". I printed out the Graduation Day graphic from the same set and used a reverse scallop circle die to cut out.

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

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

A Place to Start - AG/Ombre

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

Addicted to Stamps #515 - Die Cuts and/or Stencils

I ink blended the entire piece of watercolor paper and then applied a darker shade of purple through the stencils. I die cut the waffle strip and stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of previously distressed watercolor paper and embossed with white embossing powder. Stamp is from Stamping Bella - stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dots. I added some purple rhinestone stickers.

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

I have one more for today that I'd like to enter into the following challenges:

Beautiful Blossoms #40 - Anything Floral Goes/Optional Mood Board

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #778 - Anything Goes

Creative Inspiration #37 - Anything Goes

Try it On Tuesday - Make Your Own Background

When I saw the mood board for Beautiful Blossoms, I knew EXACTLY which stamp set I was going to use for this challenge. It's the Boho Blooms from Unity Stamp Co. - I stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I created my background by ink smooshing Distress Oxide Ink in Picked Raspberry on a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped a background script stamp (Tim Holtz) on it with permanent black ink and then flicked some white acrylic ink on it. I sponged the edges in black to finish it off. Peace.

WANTED: Conjurer of Dreams Most Wanted Booklet

 I gotta tell you, I had an absolute blast making this project. LOL  It took me HOURS to put this whole thing together but I was thrilled with how it came out!

This was made specifically for the:

Conjurer of Dreams April/May 2-Month Challenge: Make a Tag-or-Shaped Booklet

and I'd also like to enter it into the:

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

I used Canva to layer the mug shot images (I cannot find them in the store anymore) on top of the cool Wanted Posters, and also to add the text I made up on the "last seen" ones. I printed them out and ran them through my Brother Scan n Cut, then roughed up the edges and sponged some brown ink on them. I added some embellishments to each one like the die cut broom, cannabis leaf, die cut twine & burlap, and the bloody drips. I cut the tag shapes from black cardstock and tied them together with a piece of twine. Peace.

Music is a Rainbow & Keep Moving Forward

 Good morning!

I have a card to share today for the following challenges:

Stencil Fun April - AG/Optional Rainbow Colors

Colorful Options - Rainbow or Yellow

I ink blended Distress Oxide Inks in a rainbow of colors on a piece of watercolor paper and then applied Black Soot through my Big Music stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop), then spritzed it with water and let it dry. I sponged black ink around the edges and added a sentiment that I printed out and attached with foam dots. 

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

And next up is a little ATC I created for the following challenges:

ATC Around the World #136 - Fish

Tagalongs & ATC's - AG/Optional Blossoms, Butterflies, and Birds

I had this scrap left over from a project I created with my Ocean Stars stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off!), so I grabbed it and trimmed it down to ATC size (3.5x2.5 inches). I sponged the edges with some Broken China Distress Ink and added the sticker from a Tim Holtz book. I printed out the Ocean Round image twice (old digi from a company called CS Designs), colored with Copics and added some Liquid Pearls to the shells. I fussy cut the fish to attach with foam dots on top of the whole image. I fussy cut that and attached it to the ATC. Peace.
