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.

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

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.
