there is no time more fitting - Crafting by Designs - Guest Designer

Wednesday April 5, 2017

 

I was a winner at Crafting by Designs a few months back and was asked to be a Guest Designer.

I jumped at the chance. Thank you Crafting by Designs for asking me. This challenge is ANYTHING GOES..  Now who doesn't like ATG..  I hope you play along and post your card over at Crafting by Designs.

 

Spring is in the air. There are so many beautiful flowers blooming and so I went through my stamps and picked out flowers. Lots of flowers. I love being able to mix stamp sets and get the card front that I want.  The main part.. the Sentiment is Simon Says and embossed with Stampin Up black embossing powder on water color paper... Then I dug out flower stamps from Simon Says and Paper Trey Ink and broke out the Ranger inks and stamped away. I use some watered down Ranger inks for the background light blue and a few of the flowers I watered down so they weren't so stark.. I cut the paper down and added some black card stock behind. I added a few sequins and called it complete.  I hope you like this card and it inspires you to create.

Today we have a new challenge at Catch the bug... it's a

RECIPE challenge

USE 3 STRIPS OF PAPER... DISTRESS EDGES...AND ADD A TAG

 

This is my card using the above recipe.. 3 strips of paper, distressed edges and a tag.. I used the cute image called AKV ice cream  she is so cute. I love the ice cream cone.. my kind of girl. I made the top one caramel then mint chocolate chip, chocolate, and strawberry with white chips. Yummy.

I had some left over water color strips so I used them and a purple club scrap piece. The tag is from PTI. The sentiments are from Simon Says-I curved the sentiment so it would fit better. I used Quick Quote ink for the distressed look around the image. Broke out my corner chomper and rounded the edges.. I added some glossy accents to her glasses and the cherry on top of the ice cream.  The boy in her hair is Lil inker.. I hope you play along. Just follow the recipe and upload your card over at Catch the bug.
