Christmas Card

Hi crafters! I wanted to share with you a card I made for a friend of mine. I'm afraid it might not make it there in time for Christmas....but I sure hope it does!

First off, I want to tell you that I got the idea from a card on a Pinterest Board, a board by Create with Connie and Mary. I never could find the directions to the card, but I tried to duplicate as much as possible and added some of my own elements to it. The card they made is gorgeous! I wish I had that stamp, too! Anyway, here is my card:

At first, I made the card without the butterfly and the flowers, because I wanted to enter them into a couple of Facebook challenges, and then I added some more elements. As you can see, the base card has been embossed with a snow and bell theme. I embossed the tree with my Zing silver embossing powder, and also the banner sentiment. I mounted the tree with 3D foam circles onto another sheet of white mounting paper, then placed that on top of the silver glitter paper. I added a bow, butterfly, and 3 flowers onto the top right of the card. The flowers are from Secret Garden Crafts and the butterfly and Diamond Glass Glitter is from Reneabouquets. 

I hope you enjoyed this little project of mine! And thank you so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge - #146

Hello, everyone! And welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner Challenge!  For this week, we have 2 awesome sponsors of our Anything Goes challenge! They are:

Kitty Bee Designs

Prize ~ 1 Digital Image

Delicious Doodles

Prize ~ 4 Digital Images

For my project, I decided to make a Tag this time, rather than a card. Tags are one of my favorite things to do. So I used an image from Delicious Doodles, Lovely Lillies. To start off with, I wanted to get the shape of my tag down, so I used my Silhouette Portrait for this. I chose a shape with 2 layers. I added a pattern paper from the SIL on both layers, combined them, and did a print and cut. I had already colored my image using my Prismacolors. I love red, so my lilies became the deep red you see Here:

I used all the laces and wedding appliques from the Facebook Group, Lighthouse Stop n' Shop (check them out...great prices) and the flowers in the corner are from Secret Garden Crafts. The leaf applique in the corner is from Kimberly of KPKre8tions. I used hot glue to adhere my embellishments on. 

So there you have it. A finished tag! I am happy with the colors of it...hopefully I'll get to trade it with someone soon!

Be sure to check out the challenge! There's a new one every week! And thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #138 - Anything Goes

Hello once again, crafty peeps! We've started a new week of challenges here at Crafty Gals Corner. And we hope you will join us! For this week, our sponsors are:

Delicious Doodles

Prize: 4 Digital Images

 &

Scrap N Dipity

Prize: 3 Digital Images

I was very excited to do the image I chose this week's project. She's gorgeous! And I know there were are lot of things I could have made with her, but she just needed to be the main feature on a card, in my opinion. She would also look great on a tag (hmmmm....next time?). So, here is my card, using Beautiful Blossom by Delicious Doodles.

I used all Prismacolors on her, leaving her dress a white. I wanted her to have red hair, so I gave her several layers of red, then took an eraser and put in some highlights in her hair. I thought yellow would go great with her, especially because of the green leaves, so I did the flowers and the butterfly in yellow with highlights of black, added some lace with yellow in it, and adhered some flowers I got from Secret Garden Crafts. And she was done! No added bling like I normally do....

Thank you for stopping by! I do hope you join us in this week's challenge!

Createful Heart Digis & Designs Card

Hello! I hope you're having a great and crafty day! I am on the Design Team of Createful Heart Digis & Designs, but when I saw one of Mary's (the owner) newest digi, I just had to have it! So I want to share it with you today. Here she is, Vintage Angel

This is one of my faves! I used all Prismacolors on her. The background paper is a Silhouette design I printed out and cut to the size I needed. The butterfly was also printed and cut from my Silhouette. I did add flowers from Secret Garden Crafts (Archana Joshi's shop). I hot glued a strand of pearls around the image to give her more of a focus.

And....just an FYI here....there's a challenge going on over at Createful Heart! The first one ever! So be sure to drop in and enter! There are prizes to be given away!

Thank you for stopping by!
