MIX IT UP CHALLENGE #3 DISTRESSING

Hello There Crafty Friends,
I want to let you all know that a challenge is going on at...
https://mixitupchallenge.blogspot.com/
The theme for this challenge is...
Anything Goes with a Twist - Distressing (Ink or Tool)

Here's my inspiration card for the challenge...
Here's what I used to make it...
Marco Raffine Colored Pencils
Unbranded Clear Stamps
Canson Watercolor Paper 
Staedtler Watercolor Crayons
Yasutomo Niji Pearlescent Watercolor Paint
Watercolor Brush/Water Tank - something like these
We R Memory Keepers Precision Press Stamping Tool
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad 'Tea Dye'
Memento Dew Drop 'Rich Cocoa' Ink Pad
Prima Marketing Distressing Tool 
Darice Hemp Twine
Charms, Chord and Gauge
Teal/Navy Cardstock Paper

Here's how I made it...
I cut a piece of watercolor paper the size I needed for my card. Then used the stamping tool to stamp the images where I wanted them. Using the distress ink first on the stamps, I stamped the images on the paper. Then I used rich cocoa ink for a darker outline. After the ink was dry, I colored the images with colored pencils. Next using watercolor crayons, I drew/colored the rock for the mermaid to sit on, added some colors to make the beach, the water, the sky and then drew/colored trees in the background. With each color I used a watercolor brush, afterward, to blend in the colors and give them a softer look. Still using the watercolor brushes, I used them with the watercolor paint and painted over the beach, water and sky...to give them a shimmery look. I also colored over the rock some with colored pencils for more detail. I made my card with teal colored paper, then distressed around it with the distressing tool. Next I cut a piece of navy colored paper slightly smaller than the card, used the distressing tool around it, then taped it onto the center of the card. Then I used the distressing tool around the watercolor paper and taped it in the center of the navy colored paper. The dream charm was already on the chord, so I just glued it across the bottom of the card and tucked the ends beneath the paper. I cut some gauge and placed it beneath the charm going upward on each side. Next I cut a piece of twine and tied it onto the anchor charm, then glued the anchor on the right side of the card, over the gauge. Then I added little glue drops here and there on the gauge to hold it in place.

Thank you for visiting. 
Hope you like my DT card and it gives you some inspiration. 
  We would like to see you join us in the fun!
The challenge will close at 6pm EST on July 31st.

Happy Crafty Hugs,

DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY CHALLENGE #138 ATG/TWIST 'SPECIAL BIRTHDAY'

Hello Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge starting today over at
Digistamps 4 Joy!
http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/
 The theme for this challenge is...
Anything Goes with a Twist 'Special Birthday'

Here's my inspiration card for the challenge...
Here's what I used to make it...
Digistamps4Joy - 'Ikebana'
Marco Raffine Colored Pencils
The Paper Studio 4.5"x6.5" 'Country Road'
Unbranded Oval Frame Die 
Memento Dew Drop Ink Pads 'Rich Cocoa' and 'Lady Bug'
Tim Holtz Distress Ink 'Tea Dye'
Inkadinkado 'Personal Impressions' Clear Stamp - Blog Candy
Prima Marketing Distressing Tool
Darice Hemp Twine, Gauge and Flatback Pearls
Real Leaves 
Pink/White Cardstock Paper

Here's what I did...
 I made the card with pink cardstock paper. Then I cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the card. My hubby brought in a few leaves from outside for me to use, so I added ink to different leaves and stamped them on the bottom left side of the card. Then I used 'tea dye' distress ink around the paper, going in more on the corners. Next I added two strands of twine across the bottom part of the paper, tied a knot on the right side, leaving the tails hanging slightly. Then I taped the paper onto the center of the card. I used the distressing tool around the image, added the same distress ink around it, then taped in onto the card. After stamping the sentiment onto the oval frame die cut, I taped it onto the card, over the twine. Then I added a piece of gauge on each side of the image, tucking it under the sides. After that I glued three flatback pearls onto the image.

And that's my DT card.
Hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration.
Hope you come join us in the fun!

LETS CRAFT & CREATE CHALLENGE #127 JUST BEACHY &/or RED, WHITE & BLUE

Hello There Crafty Friends,
I want to let you all know there is a new challenge starting today at...
LET'S CRAFT AND CREATE
The theme for this challenge is...
Just Beachy &/or Red, White & Blue

Here's my inspiration card for the challenge...
 Here's what I used to make it...

Yasutomo Niji Pearlescent Watercolor Paint
Staedtler Watercolor Crayons
Unbranded Fireworks Embossing Folder
Prima Marketing Distressing Tool
Forever In Time Paper Craft Collection 'Pop Dot' Adhesives
Red/White/Blue Cardstock Paper

Here's how I made it...
I embossed the fireworks on a piece of white paper, then colored over the fireworks with watercolor crayons. Next I used watercolor crayons and watercolor paint to color the background, making the beach, water and sky. Then I went back over the fireworks with the crayons and left it dry. After making the card with white paper, I cut a piece of red paper to fit the center of it. Then I cut a piece of blue paper to fit behind the fireworks paper. Next I used the distressing tool around all papers, including the fireworks paper. Then I taped them all together. Next I drew and colored a sand dollar, starfish and shell, then fussy cut around them and added pop dots on the back of them. I then glued pieces of branches on the left side of the card and added the sand dollar and starfish in front of them. Then added the shell on the right side of the card. After fussy cutting around the image, I added pop dots on the back of her as well, then placed her in the center of the card.

That's my DT card. I hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration.

LOVE TO CRAFT CHALLENGE #12 ANYTHING GOES

Hello Crafty Friends,
There's a new challenge starting today at
Love To Craft Challenge Blog
The theme for this challenge is...
Anything Goes
 
Here's my inspiration card for this challenge...
Here's what I used...
Marco Raffine Colored Pencils
Prima Marketing Distressing Tool
Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon - won gift cert from Jo’s Scrap Shack celebration
Memento Dew Drop 'Rich Cocoa' Ink Pad  
We R Memory Keepers Precision Press Stamping Tool
Unbranded Clear Stamps
Bow Making Tool
Darice 'Tiny Star' Sequins
LolliZ White Gel Pen and Flowers
Navy/Purple Cardstock Paper
The beautiful paper I stamped on was made and given to me in the 'blog candy' from Carolina Cards by Mary H...I so wish you could see this paper in person, it is gorgeous, as it shimmers and shines with so many different colors.

Here's what I did...
Using the stamping tool, I placed the stamps where I wanted them and stamped the images and text onto the paper. Then I used colored pencils to create ground and grass. After making the card with navy colored paper, I cut a piece of purple paper to fit the center of it. I then used the distressing tool around the card, the purple paper and the image. Next I taped the image in the center of the purple paper then taped it in the center of the card. Then I glued star sequins over the larger star images, two on each side and middle, on the top part of the card. Next I used a white gel pen to add highlights on the fairy's wings, the mushrooms and in the center of all the stars. I made the bow, then glued it and the flowers onto the bottom left side of the card. Then I curled the flower stems and glued them in with the flowers.
 
I hope you like my DT card and it gives you some inspiration. 
Come on and join us in the fun!
