ATSM #264: Clean And Simple

Hello again, friends! It's time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More.  For this challenge, you can create anything you like - card, tag, bookmark etc - as long as it is CAS.
If the concept of CAS eludes you (as it does for me!), here's a checklist to help you:

I made a Halloween card featuring stamps from Lawn Fawn's Critters In Costume set.  The images are coloured with Caran d'Ache watercolour pencils. No embellishments … not even my beloved Wink Of Stella.

Now it's your turn to link up your project for the Clean & Simple challenge. Thank you so much for stopping by and have an amazing day.

Beijinhos!

Tuesday Throwdown #364: Stencilling

Good morning, friends! Time for another new challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown. This week we have an easy theme for you: "Stencilling". All you have to do is a stencil (or several stencils) in the design process of your project. Our sponsor for this challenge is Sprinkle and Sparkle. Their online store is overflowing with crafty goodness.

My project features this beautiful festive image called Christmas Spirit Fairy. In keeping with falling snowflakes of the image, I used MFT's Falling Snow to create a snowy background directly on the card base. First I inked the stencil with Broken China DI and again with Ranger Texture Paste coloured with a tiny drop of Shaded Lilac DI. To finish the card I added Orchid Lawn Trimming by Lawn Fawn.

Here's a closer look at the fairy. I coloured her with Faber Castell Polychromos and added extra sparkle with Stardust Stickles, Wink of Stella Clear and Nuvo Crystal Drops. Too much? No way!  Not enough, I'd say!

Now it's your turn to create a project based on this week's theme: "Stencilling". For ideas and inspiration, take a peek at what the rest of the DT members have made. Remember to link up your project at the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog by 3pm Pacific / 11pm UK on Monday, October 16th. And the most important requirement: Have Fun!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!

Beijinhos!

Chocolate Baroque: Birthday Greeting

Good morning, friends! Brand new day and a brand new project. I've used the skinny trees from the Fantasy Woodland A4 sheet to create a birthday card. The greeting is from the Birthday Words A5 sheet.

I heat embossed the trees with WOW Ebony Embossing Powder and then created the background by blending various Distress Inks. For the sky I used Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Broken China and a touch of Abandoned Coral. For the ground I used Brushed Corduroy, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive. I masked out the moon and then applied Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilised Amber and added definition with Faber-Castell Polychromos. To add interest to the sky I added little white dots with a White Sharpie and droplets of Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard.

I stamped the greeting with VersaFine Majestic Blue.

That's all from me today, friends!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have an amazing Sunday.

Beijinhos!

ATSM #262: Make Your Mark

Hello again, friends! Time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More and this week we are playing Make Your Mark. For this challenge, you can create anything you like as long as you use something to make a mark. Feel free to use pencils, pens, markers, chalks, crayons, paints, stains, inks ... whatever takes your fancy.

I made a flowery birthday card using Altenew's Vintage Roses. For the greeting, I used MFT stamps and finished the card with a few pink sequins.

Here's a closer look. I did some fussy cutting and popped a few roses and leaves with foam take.

Now it's your turn to link up your project for the Make Your Mark challenge. There are so many colouring media to choose from. I look forward to seeing your projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have fun with this challenge.
