Outlawz Color Challenge - August 8, 2017

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new Color Challenge over at The Outlawz! And for this month, we have the awesome sponsor "Mari Digis"! The winner will receive the 3 images that the Design Team have worked with for this month! Such cute images!

I have to say, I LOVE the photo inspiration for this week! The colors are fantastic! And those teacups...so cute! You need only to pick 3 of the 5 colors, with a twist of Vintage. I love doing anything vintage! 

Now on to my card. This little girl riding on her bike...wow! She's so adorable! I used floral paper along the sides of the blue paper to give it the vintage feel to it, plus added laces, doilies, and flowers to further give it that feel. What's vintage without flowers and lace? (To me, at least...Lol) I used Prismacolors to color her. I cut out the sentiment with my Silhouette. She looks like she's answering someone who may have said, "What do you think you're doing?" And she says "I'm riding my bike, what do you think I'm doing?" Lol. I love the little heart on her left eyelid!

I hope you will come join us for this week's challenge! There's so many talented artists out there, and the Design Team Members have given such great inspiration! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tags/Box Swap with ScrapbookingwithME Boutique

Hello, fellow crafty peeps! Today I want to share with you another project! I was recently in a Tags/Box swap with a Facebook group, ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique Members Page, where you had to make 8-4x2" tags and put them in a box. You could either make the box or alter one, as long as you put them into a box. My sister had recently given me a cigar box, so I used it to put the tags in, making sure it had plenty of room for some goodies. Here is my project...I hope you like it!

The Butterfly in Glittered Paper along with the Fastener are from ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique. The top of the box has Liquitex Glass Beads, which are also available in the boutique. Some of the laces are from the SBWM sister group, Lighthouse Stop n' Shop.  All the flowers, the stick pins, and butterflies are made by me. I had a wonderful time making this! 

I hope my Swap Partner likes what I did. It was delivered to her today! Yay! 

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out those links, too! :)

Whisker Graphics DT Project

Hi once again, Whisker Graphics fans! I'm somewhat saddened today, as this is my final project as a Design Team member for WG. I can't believe 6 months have passed by already! This year is whizzing by!

So, as my last project, I wanted to share with you a technique in putting your very own design on your itty bitty bag. The Tutorial is on the WG Blog. And alas! A bag needs something in it, right? So I made a matching tag to go along with it. Here is my project:

All the details and instructions are on the blog, but suffice it to say....IT WAS FUN TO MAKE!! I hope you try it out too!!

Thank you for stopping by!!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #134

Hello, crafters! Today starts a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner! We have 2 wonderful sponsors for this week with the Challenge Theme being CELEBRATE! Here are our Sponsors:

Morgan's Art World

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Melonheadz

Prize: 1 Bundle of your choice - no combo packs

With the challenge theme being "Celebrate", I thought I'd go with the Celebrate images from Melonheadz. I just love the images! So cute! 

My process for this card is actually quite simple. I started out by first cutting out everything with my Silhouette (SIL) Portrait, then I colored my images with my markers. The markers were perfect for this card! I then took a couple pieces of designer paper and stuck them behind her onto a white base cardstock. I then added a few roses I had and ouila! She was done! See? Simple! Who says cards have to be complicated to look nice?

I hope you join in on our challenge! And have fun with your project, whatever it is, as long as it "Celebrates!". Thank you for stopping by!

Outlawz Color Challenge August 1st-Monochromatic

Welcome to the Color Challenge at The Outlawz!

I sure hope that you will join us! 

For the month of August we have the fabulous sponsor Mari Digis! Our winner will get the 3 digis that our team have to play with.

It's Monochromatic week! 

While blue is shown here, you can choose whichever colour you like!

Now let me show you what I've created. I decided to go ahead and use the blue colors, as I was using the Mari Digis Mermaid. Here is my card:

I wanted to make as much of my mermaid in the blue family as possible, including her tail, hair, and eyes. I used my Prismacolors to color her and the seahorse. Now let me tell you about the background. I was experimenting (I do that a lot...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Lol). I saw a card on Pinterest with a background that reminded me of a hot glue streak once dried. So I decided to make "steams" of hot glue across the card for the streams of water. It looked a little plain to me, so I decided to go ahead and add glitter. But...since it was dry already...I heated up sections at a time and sprinkled glitter into the glue. I used that technique also for the bubbles.

I then took my Tim Holtz Ink Oxide (Broken China) and swabbed all over the card with my dauber. I also took some cheesecloth and made it into a "netting". Added some flat blue rhinestones...and it was done! It came out a lot better than I expected. I hope you like it and will try the hot glue technique!

Thanks for stopping by!
