Wow it's almost the end of September. 

Times is really flying by and days are getting shorter. 

We have a new challenge over at

Crafty Catz #679

I am the host this challenge I chose the theme

Theme: Anything goes / use a stencil

I just got a new stamp set from Newton's Nook and couldn't wait to use it. I first took white card base and lightly went over the card with Ranger yellow ink. I used the Simon says stencil and went over with the same Ranger ink. I then used my ground template/stencil and created the ground. I set it aside. I stamped the image and colored with copics. I used the die and added some diamond drills to the package. I added her with foam dots. I stamped the sentiment that came with the set.

Crafty Catz #678

Theme: Anything goes

Sponsor Dr. Digi house of stamps

I am using the image Door Mouse.  I colored with copics and went over the circles on the pot with Spectrum Noir pen. I used My favorite things circle die. I then looked for a paper for the background and this one was right in front in my My Minds Eye box so used it. Then dug through some sentiments and kept coming back to Dylusions stamps and chose this fun one.  He looks like he's going to regret what ever he got into.. lol

Cardz 4 Galz #233

Theme: Hip to be square - Square shape or use squares

I made a square card. I don't often do this shape but it was fun . It's using Stampin up products.  I love the field of flowers. It would be cool to add ink to each flower to give a different field of flowers.. but I just went with the pink as it went good with the green.

Aud Sentiments #317 - Let your heart be light

Monday September 2, 2024

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Aud Sentiments #317

Theme: Tag and or any holiday

I made a tag.. I used white cardstock and cut it about 7 inches long.  I used a spellbinder die and just cut the top off the strip to make it kinda like a tag. I used Paper Trey Ink and inked up the tag and then put a stencil on it and using the same ink went over it again to give a darker background. I took Gold Liquitex ink and watered it down and did splatters over the tag. I set it aside to dry. I used My Favorite things Poinsettia die and white card stock and cut the images out. I used other colors of PTI inks and colored the images. I added them to the tag. I stamped the Sentiment from Stampin Up  - it's from a Christmas set but thought it could be used all year and remind you to let your heart be light.  I finished with some Diamond painting drills left over from a project I did.
