100% Organic & for good

Hello friends - I have a cute little ATC I'd like to enter into the following challenges:

4-Season Challenge: Farm

Crafter's Cafe #328 - AG/Optional Fancy Folds

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Cute Critters

This makes me think of Summer Farmer's Markets and I cannot WAIT for that! LOL  I used papers from Doodlebug Design from the Farmer's Market 6x6 pack to create this entire ATC, adding a little bright green brad to attach the chicken tag.

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

And next I have a little card for the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - X is for X-Ray (black and white)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Clean and Simple

Krafty Chicks #812 - Clean and Simple

I used a piece of houndstooth DP from Authentique for the background. I die cut the white tag, then mounted it on a piece of black cardstock and trimmed that down to a tag. Added a leaf die cut from black cardstock, a large rhinestone sticker and a tiny sticker sentiment from a Tim Holtz book. Peace.

 

Need Coffee?

 

Today is my 2nd posting this month as guest DT for The Greeting Farm, and for today's post, I used the Coffee Couple clear digi set - while this set isn't available at the moment, it can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site here.

I used some coffee themed digi papers from Divine Writing. I stamped the images with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. I used a die cut ticket on kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment & heart with Scorched Timber Distress Oxide ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I dragged it all over the ink pad and roughed up the edges with my scissors to distress it a bit. I die cut some hearts from a scrap of the kraft and sponged a bit of the Scorched Timber around the edges. I finished it off with a little chipboard coffee cup embellishment that I had in my stash.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

A Cut Above - AG with Die Cuts

Make My Monday #274 - Hobbies

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Tic Tac Toe #288 (Splatter, die cut shapes, embellishments)

Thanks for visiting!  Peace.

best wishes

 We had such a great time at my daughter's house Saturday celebrating our youngest granddaughter's 4th birthday. Here's lil Millie, isn't she a cutie pie?!? I might be a bit biased.

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

On to business! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges today:

Tic Tac Toe #288 (I used stencils, ink blending, and splatter)

AllSorts #845 - Things with Wings

Lil Red Wagon #850 - Signs of Spring

Die Cut Divas - Celebrate Spring

Just Add Ink #781 - Just Add Wings

I created my background by using the reverse stencil technique with the Deco Fans stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 to get 10% off your order at the shop!). I had yellow ink on the stencil, then I used Garden Green Distress Oxide Ink to stamp the butterfly from the Wings of Change set at Visible Image, then embossed with clear embossing powder. I sponged the edges with the same color. I flicked some green Mica Spray Stain all over it, then added a kraft tag I had stamped the butterfly randomly all over and sponged the edges in black. Attached it with an old flower brad from Stampin' Up! (we're talking early 2000's here) and stuck a tiny text sticker on it from a Tim Holtz sticker book. I mounted the whole thing on a bright yellow cardstock base. Peace.

Just a Note & Thanks

 Good morning! I have another card I'd like to share using one of the new stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

The stencil I used is called Big Music (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off your entire order in the shop):

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

A Place to Start - AG/Optional No Squares

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

I Love ProMarkers - AG/For the Girls

I used the reverse stencil technique for this one - I had black ink on the stencil, I spritzed it with water and laid it on a piece of watercolor paper that I had already distressed with a pale gray color. I let it dry and then sponged black ink around the edges. I printed out Guitar Flowers from Krista Smith (she has one digi still available on her Etsy site), colored with Copics and fussy cut. I attached her with foam dimensional tape and added an old sticker sentiment from SRM Stickers (man, this sticker sheet has to be about 15-20 years old!!!!). 

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

Next up is a little ATC that I would like to enter into the following challenges:

ATC Around the World #135 - Squares

Craft Rocket #134 - No Designer Paper

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Cut it Up #352 - Forever Green

Inkspirational #363

I love making ATC's - they can be quick and easy or you can really spend time getting into mixed media designs and such. When I make most of my cards, they are 6x4.5 - this leaves me with a piece of cardstock that is perfect to cut 2 ATC size pieces from. I keep them in a gallon size zipper bag near my cardstock. I used one of those, stamping a script stamp from Tim Holtz all over it for the background. I had a scrap of stenciled watercolor paper from another project, so I cut a square from it and then die cut the leaf. I sponged the edges for dimension and attached each item with foam dots. I added a little sticker text from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Finished off with a die cut "thanks". Peace.

Soul Sister

 I've got one final "things with wings" card to share today - I love that theme, I love using my butterfly and dragonfly stamps and all that, they are some of my favorites to play with! I'd like to enter this one into the following challenges:

Just Add Ink #781 - Just Add Wings

AllSorts #845 - Things with Wings

Girlz & the Art of Letters - W

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

I used Lindy's Starburst Sprays in Glory of the Sea Gold to create the background on watercolor paper. I took a scrap of black cardstock and rounded the edges, then attached it with adhesive to the background. I printed the Freehand Butterfly from A Day for Daisies on a piece of lighter weight cardstock and misted with the same spray, which caused the wings to curl up when I was drying it with my heat tool. I liked the effect so I added foam dots to the center of the back of the butterfly only so they would stay curled up. I added some gold pearl stickers and stamped the sentiment on the background with Versafine Black, then embossed with clear embossing powder. I sponged the edges with black ink to finish it off. Peace.

All Dressed Up March Release - Sleepy Bunny

 The Dressy Girls have some more inspiration for you using the adorable images from the March release at:

The image I used is called Sleepy Bunny, isn't she sweet?  

I colored her with Copics and added some Fluffy Stuff to her bunny ears. I fussy cut her and attached her with foam dimensional tape. Papers are from Doodlebug Designs - I used the Reverse Scallop Circle die cut from Pink & Main.

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

Crafty Calendar - Spring

Double D - Easter

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Cute Critters

Little Red Wagon #850 - Signs of Spring

I Love ProMarkers #603 - For the Girls

 I love any excuse to make galaxy themed cards - I love playing with my mixed media supplies and constellation stamps! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Galaxy

Path of Positivity #139 - AG/Optional Lucky 3 - Add 3 Gems 

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

I stamped the image from the Stargazers set from Colorado Craft Company, with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the stars and constellations with Versafine Clear and embossed with white embossing powder. I colored only the grass, then carefully ink blended Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire, and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks all around the bears and the rest of the card. I spritzed with water and wiped with a paper towel, then flicked some more water droplets all over it. Peace.
