Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #168 - Anything Goes!

Hellooooo, crafters! We have started a new challenge today. This week the challenge is: Anything Goes. And our amazing sponsors are:

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize: Two Digital Images

 & Two Coordinating Digital Paper Sets 

The Paper Nest Dolls

Prize ~ The 3 Digital Images used by the DT

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

Wow, how cool is that? Not one sponsor, but three! So let me share with you what I did, using Prom Avery from The Paper Nest Dolls: 

I really had fun playing with the colors on this one. I decided to add a crown to her, and used my laminator to put Gold Deco Foil on it and added some tiny rhinestones. I colored her in with my Prismacolors, but then added Stickles to her dress and the pink part of her hair (I thought that would be fun to give her a streak of pink hair). 

I used my Silhouette Portrait to make the stairs card. So much easier for me than using my hands! I added a few elements (like the gold shoes and also a sentiment).

I hope that you will join us for this bi-monthly challenge! It's always a treat to see all the wonderful talent out there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #126 - Emboss It!

Hi, fellow crafters! I hope this new day is finding you fit and well! Today begins a new challenge week over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges with the theme of:  Emboss It!" The sponsor(s) for this challenge are:

Lia Stampz

Prize: 2 Images DT Used

Star Stampz

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So for my card this week, I used the Warmest Wishes by Lia Stampz. I thought this was such a cute digital to work with! Here it is:

Front of Card

Closeup of Embossing

I realize that the embossing is hard to see, hence the closeup of the dry embossing on the purple mat of the card. I used a snowflake embossing folder for this part. I then wet embossed the snowflake.

Coloring these were pretty easy to do. I used my markers for these. To give it the extra "bling", I added stickles to the digi pieces. I then added the sentiment that comes with these digitals and some Tim Holtz tinsel around the edges of the card. 

This was a fairly simple card to make, and yet it's so fun with all the colors to it! I hope you join us for this fun challenge! Thanks for stopping by!
