Wicked Wednesday #95: Zodiac/Astrology

Hello friends - today we have a new challenge for you at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Zodiac/Astrology

We're being sponsored by Smeared Ink, and I chose to work with the Leo image, of course.  I printed out my image and spritzed it with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.  I used an ATC background that had been spritzed with Black Velvet, Gold Glow, and Spun Sugar Smooch Spritzes and applied the image with foam dimensional dots.  I finished it off with a little "Leo" sticker from my Dymo Caption Maker. Peace.

Blue Birthday

Hello there - just popping in quick to share this cute birthday card I made for a friend's daughter.  And here is the list of challenges I'm entering it into:

Make it Monday: Anything Goes

Craftin Desert Divas:  Birthday Linky Party

Crafty Cardmakers: 1 image, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments

Creative Creations Challenges: Anything Goes

 

 

I used Honey Cheerleader digi image from CC Designs, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Sentiment is from Desert Diva.  For the Crafty Cardmakers, my 3 embellishments are ribbons, brads, and the chipboard pieces (corner piece & letter "M").  I covered the letter "M" with silver embossing powder to match the corner piece.  I love how this came out!

Peace.

Rocking Horsefly

Ack!  I can't believe I'm leaving in 2 days!  hee hee  I have so much to do - but I'm sure it'll all be fine.  I do have a couple more projects to finish and quite a few blog posts to schedule for while I'm gone so I bet my carpal tunnel will be acting up tonight.  I don't care, it's worth it.  :)

I have one card to share today, this is for the:

Sami Stamps Challenge: Something Curious

Sister Act Card Challenge: Anything Goes

In the Pink: Hot Pink 
Card Makin' Mamas: Monochromatic
 

I used the freebie that Sami Stamps is offering on their blog post (you must use a Sami Stamps image for their challenges) - Rocking Horsefly - colored with Prismacolor markers and lots of glitter.  I added some pink & white twine, some pink sparkly gem brads, and a button.  Text is from Dilly Beans.  I spritzed the whole thing with some pink shades of Glimmer Mist.  Peace.

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

Also squeezing in quickly for the:

Anyone for Anya Challenge (Sketch)

I am also linking up with The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Tuesday Challenge: Clean & Simple    I used Tuesday Premiere, stamped on my DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Stickles.  Paper is from Graphic 45, dies (film strip and frame that Tuesday is stamped on) are from My Favorite Things.  Peace.

Dilly Beans Tags & Jellypark Christmas

Happy Friday!  Four more days until I take off for MA - that came up quickly!  My mom is going to be SO surprised, I can't believe I managed to keep it from her.  I hope everyone can continue to keep it quiet for a few more days, I want so much to surprise her.  :)  

Today is Friday, which means it's time for our new challenge at:

Dilly Beans: Make a Tag!

I am entering my tag into the following challenges:

Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
 A.R.T. Challenge: Anything Goes
Paper Pretties: Paper Piecing

I used #553 - Penny, printed on DP and then colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and paper-pieced.  Papers are some Halloween ones from my stash, but I made her into a birthday bookmark for one of my Leo friends.  I have a lot of Leo friends - makes sense, since I am also a Leo.  We tend to gravitate towards each other.  :)

Next up - we have a new release today at:

Jellypark:  Christmas Release

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

Crimbo Crackers: Anything Goes (Christmas)
DL.ART: Christmas in July

I used our new image called Christmas Snow Globe, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits, lots of Stickles and some Crystal Effects.  Papers and stitched ribbon are from my stash.  Peace.

One Sweet Challenge: Red, White, and Blue

Hello all!  Today I have a little ATC I made for the:

One Sweet Challenge: Red, White, and Blue

I got tired of making patriotic projects this month, so I went with a pirate theme instead!  I used Pirate Skeleton Roses (digi stamp), colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  The map background is from Tiddly Inks, I roughed it up a bit and dragged it through a black ink pad.  I attached the image to the map with foam dimensional dots and added a little skeleton key.  The map was then attached to a plain white ATC sized piece of heavy cardboard that I had dragged through a black ink pad.  Peace.

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Christmas in July

Good morning!  We have a fun new challenge for you today at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Christmas in July

We're being sponsored by:

I am also linking my little Christmas ATC up with the:

Stamp & Create Challenge: Christmas in July
Lexi's Creations: Christmas in July
The Stamp Spot: Christmas in July

I used the sweet Mistletoe Fairy image, and I printed her directly on the DP very small (maybe an inch and a half?) and colored her with markers and pencils.  I really had fun making this little ATC, I think there was something "freeing" about making a Christmas project in July - no rush, no pressure, just having fun creating.  Head on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with for their holiday ATC creations!

Peace.
