Foxy Wishes

AT Incy Wincy Designs the challenge is  SUMMER BEACH or ANIMALS.  Great choices, so join the challenge here:  incywincydesigns

Thanks to sponsor All Dressed Up who provided this cute image, get it here:  sleepy-time all+dressed+up

I stamped the foxy image, then roughly masked the tip of the tail eyes and flowers, dipped it in watered Distress Inks (repeatedly until I got it how I wanted), dried it and splattered with Perfect Pearls.  The flowers are coloured with Copics.  The embossed card is torn at the top and swiped with black soot D.Ink.  I glued glitter on some of the background dots.

A big thanks you to All Dressed Up for this image, get it here: alldressedupstamps bon+voyage

I had a bit of a play with this one until I got something I liked.  The background is a die (of clouds-doesn't show very well in photo) that I used like an embossing folder, then sponged with D.inks and splattered.  The car is coloured with pencils, cut out and applied to the background.  The white line is stencilled.

Scotti Hugs

 

At the Crafters Cafe it is the first challenge of the month so that means it's ANYTHING GOES.

Check out the inspiration and join us here:  crafterscafe

A big thank you to All Dressed Up, who provided the image, get it here:

I have this new stencil and, of course, just had to use it.  I coloured Scotti and stencilled the background before placing her behind a die-cut hole in patterned paper (not tartan, but suggestive).  She has a sparkly bow, and a huggy sentiment.  The stencilling uses Distress Inks ( you can see the stencil at the bottom of the card).  I like the pink and black together.

"Fairytale/Startingwith F" or both,
here: crafterscafe
















Thanks to our sponsor who is All Dressed Up with this pretty princess, get her here: ADU princess-for-a-day





On our birthday don't we all want to be princess for a day?
I coloured her with pencils to get a bit of magic softness.  Set her in a frame made with iridescent pearlized card, and also some pretty ribbon and tulle.  The sentiment is stamped on the ribbon.

The Christmas Tree Fairy

Come and join in our Christmas fun at Come And Get It challenges, this time it's a card: cagichallenge



And I used a beautiful image from one of our sponsors - All Dressed up.  Have a look at the wonderful images here: alldressedupstamps


I coloured the image with pencils, then sponged three shades of Distress Inks around the edges and spritzed with water, blotting to remove colour when it was how I wanted it.  I masked the image then used a toothbrush to add gold acrylic paint speckle, and a spray of green mica mist.  When it was all dry I stencilled some stars (stencil is made with a star punch).  Lastly I brushed the wings & dress with clear Wink of Stella, and stars with Kindyglitz.  Double sided tape strips on the side were covered with pastel lemon superfine glitter.

Birthday Smiles

Come And Get It team are doing tic-tac-toe this challenge, check it out here : cagichallenge

I used sponsor All Dressed Up image which comes with the sentiment, and coloured it with copics:
etsy.com/shop/alldressedupstamps

For the tic-tac-toe I chose diagonal blue-glitter-ribbon.

This image cried out for pastels, which I don't usually work in, but I enjoyed this one and I like the soft effect.
