Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: At Home!





It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!





The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!



For my card I started with some designer papers that I have had for quite awhile.  I just loved the wood and tiny flower combination.  I thought it worked well with the inspiration photo.  I found a piece of white card stock already die cut with the Life Style Craft's Trelis border die.  I decided to use it to ground my focal images. 



Next, I die cut and stamped two flower images from MFT Stamps Fall Florals stamp set and die namics.  I die cut the "thanks" from MFT thanks and hello die namics.  I cut it four times.  Three with white cardstock and once with pattern paper.  I added some Ranger Crackle Medium in a not so perfect way (so there were some bald spots) and let it dry overnight.  The next day I sponged on some ranger inks to add definition to the distressed application areas as well as to the crackle accents.





I die cut a stitched sentiment strip and gold embossed a sentiment from MFT Kind Thanks stamp set.  I thought this sentiment worked perfectly for the "gold" heart in the inspiration photo.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.  I am also playing along with MFT Thankful For You!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Unicorn!







It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!





The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!



For my card I  started with some water color paper and distress inks.  I brushed on some grass and sky.  I used the distress sprayer to add some water splatters.  I blotted with a paper towel.  Since the theme is all about unicorns, I decided to go all out.  Of course, after all of my years collecting stamps, I still do not have a unicorn.  I had to "make" one...sort of!  I used MFT The Whole Herd stamps and die namics.  I used the horse in this set.   I used wink of stella to color the horse and shades of pink distress inks for the mane and hooves.  I added a hand-cut unicorn horn using gold glitter card stock....ta da...my instant Unicorn!  


I figured a unicorn must reside in a sparkly barn.  I used MFT Barn die namics and die cut with smooth white, shades of pinks, and some silver glitter card stocks.  I assembled the barn and inlaid a few of the pink panels on the door.    I added a gold glitter fence using MFT Rolling Hills fence die namics. I added the sentiment from MFT Bling It On.  I finished with a few tiny stars and gold sequins.

Grateful for You!





Happy Sunday!  I am popping in with a couple of cards to share.  Finally had a chance to get crafty.  Since schools out, I am hoping to have more time to play in my craft room.
For my first card, I am playing along with a couple of blog challenges.  I am playing along with MFT Color Challenge.   





I am also playing along with MFT Camp Create Watercoloring Challenges  and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Animal Magic. This first card involves watercoloring.   I started with some watercolor paper.  I used versamark and white embossed the circles background stamp.  I made sure this image was not a perfect stamping because I was going for a softer more distressed look.  




I used blueberry and gumball green MFT inks to watercolor a sky and some grass.  I add some fine splatters as well as some bigger splatters to create dimension.  I included some white acrylic paint with the splatters.  To add even more texture, I added a few spritzes of goosebumps spray. 





I stamped and die cut these pigs using MFT The Whole Herd stamps and die namics.  I colored the pigs with copics to comply with the color challenge colors.  I finished with a white embossed sentiment and some clear sequins.  




For my second card, I am playing along with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge and MFT Camp Create Glitzy Glitter Challenge.







 I used MFT Thankful Thoughts stamp set and Words of Gratitude die namics.  I also used MFT fishnet cover up and Feathers and Arrows die namics.  I added glitter to the tips of the feathers.  I used black glitter card stock for the word.  I finished my card with a few sequins.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Rainbow!






It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!






For today's card I am using MFT Stamps and dies.  I started with some watercolor paper and a metal oval die cut to use for my arcs in the watercolor layered rainbow.  I chose to use metal instead of a die cut piece because I am working with water.  I wanted to clean the die cut between colors and a paper die cut would get soggy as well as absorb and possibly smear and muddy the colors.  







I placed the metal die cut onto watercolor paper, brushed the arc with plain water, then used Distress Reinkers to color the rainbow.  I blotted when necessary.  I even waited a bit between colors before proceeding to the next color.  I continued until I ran out of space.  I wanted to leave a bit of white at the top and the bottom.  I spritzed with water.  I also added some watered down copic white splatters for added dimension.
