C.R.A.F.T. Challenge DT Call

One of the lovely ladies from the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog encouraged me to apply for their DT, so I figured I would give it a shot!  I do love having an excuse to spend time in my craft room - hee hee  ;)  I also love showcasing sponsors images/products and encouraging people to support them.

So! Here are some examples of my work, featuring a few of my favorite projects I've shared in the past few months, with links to the posts so you can see details/brands, etc. if you are so inclined. I tried to show a variety of the types of things I normally do including cards, tags, mixed media, coloring, stenciling, die cuts, etc.:

 Hello all! Popping in once more today before I start baking cheesecakes for a special order to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Pink & Main #18- Sketch

Art Nudge #626D

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Fish/Sea Creatures

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

My images are from the Let's Make Waves set at Pink & Main - I stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics and glitter. I used a Polaroid die to cut out each image, layering with DP. I used a punch to cut out the circle and sponged the edges, then sponged the edges of the card with the same color. Sentiment is from Funky Fossil. Peace.

Polkadoodles - Gnome More Beer Please!

 The Polkadoodles Design Team have got some creative projects to share with you this week using a flap!

I used 2 separate sets combined to make my Father's Day card, the first set is called Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome for Men:

The second set is called Dad Father Celebrate Relax Gnome for Men:

I used a tutorial from Simply Simple Stamping to create my flap card:

I printed out my gnome images and colored them with Copics. The beer stein papers are from the Party Gnome set, which you can find here. The "Have a Great Day" b&w papers are from the Knight & Dragon Little Dudes. I liked the contrast of the bright colored beer mugs against the black and white paper.

Don't Wait for the Perfect Moment

Good morning! I would like to share an art journal spread that I made using the Sun and Moon stencil and the Star Circle stencil from the June release at:

Here is my creation:

I used lots of stencils, stamps, and rub-ons to create this with inks, sprays, texture paste, embossing powders - total mixed media project and I was absolutely covered in inks and pastes when I was done. Complete happiness to me. LOL I worked on this for literally weeks - I just kept coming back to it and adding things until I was satisfied. I really enjoyed the process, and isn't that what art should really be about?

I'd like to enter my art journal spread into the following challenges:

Stencil Fun - Anything Goes/Optional Butterflies

Make My Monday #280 - Use a Stencil

Creative Artiste #127 - Anything Mixed Media Goes

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

 We have a new challenge for you at Color Dare:

Come play along! Here's my creation, I added blue and a yellowish green to my ink blended background:

I stamped directly on the background (Winter Fox from Creative Expressions) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then sponged the edges with more black ink.

Don't Forget to Fly & Cheers Bruh

 Hello all! It's the big girls last day of school today and I owe my RaeRae a sleepover, so I'm picking her up this afternoon!  She's 7 and such a joy to spend time with, I truly enjoy her company and talking to her. She's bright and kind and funny and a total actress. We always have fun together. :)

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

Try It On Tuesday - Flying High

A Cut Above - Anything Goes (with die cuts)

Paper Funday #88 - AG/Optional Polka Dots or Stripes

My papers are from the Bohemian Dream paper pack at Unity Stamp Co. Digi stamp is called Happy Hot Air Balloon from A Day for Daisies, paper pieced on the balloon portion and colored with Copics on the rest. I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape, layering a die cut cloud behind it. I added a sticker text to the balloon and sponged all the edges. Deckled Frames die cuts are from Mama Elephant. 

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

Next up is another card I made using the same papers as above but with a masculine theme!

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

Cut it Up #358 - One for the Boys

Crafty Calendar June - All About the Men/Boys

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Food and/or Drink

My papers and stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. - the papers are from the Bohemian Dream paper pack and the stamps are from the Cheers Bruh set. I stamped the image once on a piece of the DP, then stamped it again on different colors and paper-pieced the 2 end cans, attaching them with foam dimensional tape. I used one of the Deckled Frames nesting dies from Mama Elephant to cut it out, and used one of the dies from the Mini Tag Dies set at Jaded Blossom to cut out the "Cheers Bruh" sentiment, also attaching that with foam tape. Peace.

A Beautiful Possibility

 Just popping in quick to post this for the following challenges:
