The Scrapoholic Candy Shop New Release-Roses!

New Release! Dozen Roses.....and I LOVE it! Here is the link to the image and The Scrapoholic Candy Shop blog. 

Hello, crafters! Jeanie Ellis, DT here, to share with you another project from the SCS!

Now, if you'll look at the image in the SCS website, the flowers are actually reversed. I had a plan to use heavy vellum paper from the Paper Temptress, print the roses on one side, turn it over to color, then turn it back over to see the "watercolor" effect. However, the red really stood out, so I decided to use the colored side, which reversed the image (permission given by owner of SCS shop, Amanda). I used 5 different Prismacolor reds, and 3 greens, and 2 yellows for the artwork. I also used paper from the Paper Temptress for the green Basis Paper Pack and Antique Doily paper. The bright yellow was already in my stash.

I bought a black frame and used Rub 'n Buff Grecian Gold on the frame to give it a little "class" to the frame itself, glued some rick rack ribbon around the inside edge of the frame and added a fabric flower with ribbon. Both were RAK'd to me, along with the leaves. 

I stamped and colored some butterflies to match the Dozen Roses and glued them on top of the leaves. One bit of advice, however....I really probably should have used a non-shiny glass instead of a shiny glass, as it was hard to photograph without some kind of reflection. 

Be sure to check out the blog and the Facebook SCS page for DT inspiration and from others!

Crafty Gals Corner #82

Hello, my fellow crafters! We have a new challenge started here at Crafty Gals Corner - #82! This week the challenge is Anything Goes!  Our sponsor this week is:

Aurora Wings

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

What a great Gift Certificate! You can get a lot of digitals with that! So enter in, you just might win! Here is my project for this week's challenge, using Lotus Sprite Big Eyes:

Once again, I used my Prismacolors. I hope to one day be able to try some Copics or something along that line. :-) But, I do love my Prismacolors. I always do my coloring first, so once I do that I can pick the colors I want to use for my embellishments, base card, etc. I got the  lace ribbon from the Lighthouse Stop n' Shop Facebook page (Cindy's Vintage Laces). I'm not sure where I got the top white lace, but I believe it's also from her shop.

I had some designer paper in my stash that fit the colors perfectly with the image, so I made 1 big rose and 2 smaller roses. I didn't use any glossy accents or anything else this time, because I didn't want to "overload" the image, since it "speaks for itself".

I hope you come join us this week! Don't forget to share this post, subscribe here and at CGC...get the word out! Someone out there is going to be a winner...it could be you! (Although, we here at CGC believe you're all winners in our eyes anyway!)

Outlawz Color Challenge July 26th

Well, my fellow crafters! It's time for another Color Challenge over at the Outlawz blog! And for this week's challenge, it's Monochromatic! Here is the inspiration photo:

Now, you don't have to use those particular colors, but they inspired me and is a little different than what I usually color, so I thought I'd go ahead and use the greens. Here is my project tag:

I used various cardstock that I had in my stash....the white, and the greens. I painted her lips a light green, which unfortunately you can't see in the picture. (sad face here) The image is from Sandi's Samples - Sandi Hugget.  I added lace, rose ribbon, and pearl ribbon. And of course the embellishments ("silverware" from Reneabouquets). And I added ribbon for it to hand, a flower I had in made in my stash, and a "cameo" embellishment.

Please come join us! We'd love to have you join us!

The Scrapoholic Candy Shop

Hello, crafty peeps! I have another DT card to share with you! This one is called Hedgehog with flower from the animal link. Of course, it came from the Scrapoholic Candy Shop, where there's lots more to find! Here is my project card:

I just used kraft paper for the foundation of the card, and used designer paper and purple and white papers I already had in my stash. Then I added lace and a flower at the top from Gone Artsy's Zibbet store, added flowers and leaves at the bottom with a card, and she was finished! 

I loved coloring her! She was very fun. (Or, she could be a boy...all in how you decorate your card!)

I've entered my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #81

It's that time of the week again! This week our theme is Christmas in July and our sponsors are:

All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Karleigh Sue Digis

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Prize: 7 Digital Images

 I'm using Little Angel by All Dressed Up. She is such a cutie! Here she is:

As you can probably tell, I used a lot of scraps for my card. Even the white cardstock I colored her on was a scrap. Why waste paper, right? So, once I colored her in with my Prismacolors, I outlined her white piece with silver stickles, let it dry, then mounted that up onto another piece of spare Christmas paper. I added it to the base of a Christmas piece of paper for the card part. Once I lined that up, I added the red dotted paper on each side. Then I used acrylic Patina for my flowers up in the corners and put white bows in the center of them, and more embellishments down below. The little sentiment up above says "Holiday Sparkles". 

I hope you come and join us! Each week prizes are given away. You could be our next winner!

I've entered this into the following challenges:

Crafting by Design - Christmas in July 

Creative Moments - Anything Goes

Fantasy Crafters - AG (as long as it's fantasy)

Outlawz Color Challenge July 19th

Hello, fellow crafters! I wanted to share with you today my project for this week. I just love this digital, and I had a lot of fun with her! First off, here is the inspiration for the challenge:

So you see the different bluish and greens in there, with black. So that's what I went with. Of course, I used my Prismacolors and used acrylic paint for the frame, stickles for the butterflies, and gloss on her lips and eye, I also added bead trim and flowers. So...here she is!
