Farm Animals

Hello all! I have a cute little tag to share today, I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

TGIF Challenge #586

Tag-alongs & ATC's - AG/Optional Favorite Colors

The Little Things #06 - AG/Optional Elephants or Flamingos

Color Hues #137

I stamped the little cow, sentiment, and pattern (stamp set from Stampin' Up!) on a piece of white cardstock, embossed and colored with Copics, then die cut with a tag die. I stamped the pattern again on a separate piece, embossed it, cut it into a strip and sponged the edges with black, then glued it on the tag and trimmed the edges. Tied the tag off with a couple of coordinating ribbons to finish it off.

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

While I'm on the subject of farm animals - I have one more project today - this one is a card for the following challenges:

Conjurer of Dreams July Free Image Challenge

Krafty Chicks #829 - Clean & Simple

I ran my kraft cardstock base through my woodgrain embossing folder. I used a little piece of a bandana DP from Doodlebug Designs, die cut the twigs, then layered the free image on top with foam tape. I added the word WILD to it, sponging the edges with brown ink. Peace.

 One more project for today - I love making tags & bookmarks and I have several die cuts that make it easy! I'd like to enter this bookmark into the following challenges:

Color Hues #137

Aud Sentiments #339 - Bookmarks and/or Hobbies Plus a Sentiment

The Outlawz Challenge - July/Anything But a Card

I used the bookmark die from Newton's Nook. I stamped a script stamp all over the watercolor paper after I distressed it with some Candied Apple ink blending. I added some white paint dots then attached the book that I had stamped & colored along with the tiny "read" sentiment. Peace.

Nothing is impossible

Good morning! I have an art journal page I'd like to share today - I'll enter this into the following challenges:

Creative Artiste - Anything Mixed Media Goes

Outlawz July - Anything But a Card

I Spy With My Little Eye #39 - Something with Wings

I started this page in my art journal by ink blending Oxide Inks through a polka dot stencil with some yellow ink. I then just kept adding layers of ink and some opaque crackle paste through a honeycomb stencil. I stamped the images/sentiment with a permanent black ink and then sponged some more ink around it. Stamp set is Let it Bee from Funky Fossil, I spot colored his wings with markers and Stickles. Peace.

Hello friends! I have a cute Halloween card to share today - Halloween cards are definitely some of my favorite holiday cards to make! I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

A Place to Start - AG/Black and White

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Any Holiday

Super easy for this clean and simple card! I stamped the Witch Please Pissy Kitty & sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. on a piece of watercolor paper with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and then sponged the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I spritzed water on the edges and let the ink kind of flow around the edges, drying with my heat tool. Peace.

Polkadoodles Interactive Card

 Good morning!  We have some awesome Polkadoodles inspiration for you today!


The DT was tasked with creating an interactive card this time, and I enjoyed the challenge! I made a "peek-a-boo" style card using the adorable Sweet as Candy - Love Always digi. I started by printing out several digi papers, then I printed out the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored with Copics and some pink fluffy glitter, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I used nesting dies for the sentiment and added a little ticket die cut from the DP which went perfectly with the carnival theme look of this card!

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

Lil Red Wagon #867 - P is for Pink
