Stylish 1920s Woman (Click on image to be sent to shop)

She does look rather stylish, doesn't she? I also made the flowers and paper feathers to coordinate with the outfit. I then made a small stick pin to place into the flowers. I had a lot of fun coloring her up with my Prismacolors!

Outlawz Color Challenge Week of April 11th, 2017

Hello, crafters! I'm so glad you stopped by! Today I want to share with you my card for this week's Color Challenge over at The Outlawz! This week's Sponsor is Createful Hearts. But first, let me share with you the Photo Inspiration for this week, which is the Flag of Spain:

Wow! There are some bright colors in there, aren't there? I really loved the challenge for this one! For my card, I chose the Worn Out Truck by Createful Hearts. I really wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but as I thought about it, I went with the creative juices! So out came my Silhouette Portrait and my markers!

As you can see, I mainly worked with the red, blue, and yellow. I felt my truck needed to be a faded out red color. I actually used watered down acrylic white paint for the clouds. The trees and grass were all cut out with my SIL.  I then mounted everything together and used my Glossy Accents to fill in the window glass and headlights.

I hope you come by and join in on the challenges! Every week a new color challenge! Plus, there are other challenges over at The Outlawz...one for each day of the week!

Thank you for stopping by!

Photo Inspiration

Now, about my card. I decided I'd do an easel card for this week. I've done a few here lately, but this one was just slightly different in that the back piece is larger. The photo led me to trying to make a stain glass window for the back. I've done 1 before, and it worked great! Only this time, I didn't have all the materials I used last time. So, I improvised. While it looked okay, it sure didn't "float my boat". I decided to take that piece and cut out a butterfly with my Big Shot.  

I may be able to explain to you somewhat how I did it, but it was quite an accident that it worked! Lol! But I did use distress inks to paint strips of colors on heavy vellum from Paper Temptress. Then I used a black marker to make various lines through the different colors to make squares, rectangles....as you seen in the inspiration photo. I also left some white. I then put a clear sticky sheet over the "stain glass", but....since I wasn't happy with the result, I decided to go ahead cut out a butterfly, just to see if it would look better in another form. It worked! What I discovered was that there was a stickiness to that side with the colors! Maybe I put it on wrong...I'm not sure. But, I made it work by sprinkling very fine white glitter over the butterfly, shake off the excess, and rubbed the remainder into the butterfly to make it stick better. I was pretty happy with it by that time!

It was after the butterfly that I colored my image, Hello Bunny, from Digistamps4joy. She's adorable! I once again used my Prismacolors to color her in. I cut her out using my Silhouette Portrait and also cut out the easel card and it's mounting pieces with it. Then it was a matter of putting all the layers together and embellishing it. 

I hope you do join us this week! And thank you for stopping by!
