Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - Halloween Colors!

Hello, fellow crafters! And welcome back to another challenge with Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This week the challenge is: Halloween Colours.  Our sponsors this week are:

Scrap N Dipity

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Lacy Sunshine

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

 While I don't celebrate Halloween, I do love the colors! They're such fun! So here is my card using an image from Lacy Sunshine, Rory's orchids!

 She was such a fun image to color! I thought the colors went very nicely with her, giving her an auburn red hair to go along with the theme. I used a Kraft card base, and hunter green and white cardstock to be the mounting pieces. My sister had given me some beautiful glitter washi tape, so I thought those would look great as a finished background.

I hope you found this to inspire you to create and enter into our challenge! See you there! And thanks for stopping by!

Outside of Card

Card Opened

This card is called a wrap card. And for my card, I used the image Rory's Winter Poinsettia from Lacy Sunshine.  I love this image! She's a real cutie!

I cut out my wrap card using a setting from the library of my Silhouette. So much easier than cutting by hand, for sure! There are dies that can be used, but since I didn't have any like that, this was the way to go for me. I also cut out my image with the SIL and then colored her with a combination of color markers and Prismacolor pencils. The snowflake to the side of her was filled in with glossy accents and diamond glass glitter. I then added a piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card, placed the image on it, and lastly added washi tape to each side of her.

The last thing I did was to make a "belly band" for the outside of the card to simply hold the folds down in place better. I decorated it with a couple of rhinestones, a poinsettia, and washi tape. And she was done!

I hope you enjoyed this card! And please do stop by Crafty Gals and enter our challenges!

So now I want to share with you what I've done for this challenge. I was given 2 digital images for the blogiversary...1 a card and 1 a tag. Both of them have the Winter Theme on there. Here is my card:

My Besties

I love the My Besties image here! She is so adorable! I decided, with it being winter, that I needed to make a winter theme card. And I got this great idea for a Shadow Box Card from the YouTube channel of Crafter's Castle (tutorial available January, 2018). Because the print of my digital was a little bigger than the one I saw in the tutorial, I adjusted my card to fit. I used glitter paper for the top portion of the card, with lace and snowflakes as embellishments. My image was colored in with both markers and colored pencils. 

Now let me show you the tag I made (can you tell I was seeing a "Blue Winter"? Haha

I used an image by Lacy Sunshine called Jocelyn's Winter Moppet.  She is adorable! For this tag, I made something a little different using inspiration from a Pinterest post by lescrapdaligali . Since I couldn't find any instructions, I basically did my own measurements. However, instead of using a clear acetate background by itself, I used a heavy duty vellum behind it and sandwiched my tree branches in between. Before I did that, however, I sprinkled acrylic white paint on the back of the acetate sheet. Then I added in my elements and sentiment on the top side of the tag.

I hope you enjoyed this! Here is a list of our DT Members for you to "hop on over to"! And please leave a comment!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #142 - Anything Goes

Hello, fellow crafters! Today began a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This week the challenge is Anything Goes! I'm so excited to share with you who are amazing sponsors are! They are the amazing.....

Alicia Bel

PRIZE: $10 Euros

AND....

Lacy Sunshine

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So for my Anything Goes project, I decided not to do a card this time. I wasn't really sure what it was I was going to be doing with the image, Senara, so I decided to go ahead and cut her out using my Silhouette, and then color her with my Prismacolors. Once I got her done, I thought I'd like to do a shaker, but not in a card. Instead, I decided I'd make a stand up type of frame. Here it is:

 Front

Side View

I began by cutting out 2 pieces of chipboard, about 6"x8". You know those packages you buy with double sided tape (such as score tape)? I used the clear plastic covering for my shaker piece. I placed that piece (the clear circle you see in the images), on top of the card stock I wanted for the front of the frame, and traced it where I wanted the shaker to be. I then cut that out and slipped my clear plastic piece inside the hole I just made. I then  placed a piece of card stock on top of the chipboard and glued that onto the board. I put some sequins inside the shaker piece and mounted that and the card stock it was in, on top of the other card stock. 

I distressed around the edge of the chipboard and added a sentiment and some die cuts onto the top, placed her on the frame with 3-D pops, and swirled a pearl strand and some rhinestones around the frame. Lastly, a bow was added to the top of the frame.

This was different, but it was so much fun to do! And I love the result! Oh yes...I made a stand out of chipboard for the frame to stand up. How fun is that??

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will enter our challenge!
