Broom Ha Ha

Broom Ha Ha - At Alphabet Challenge Blog, we are up to S and S is for...... Spooky!

My project for this challenge is a sucker all dressed up in it's Halloween costume as a broom.

The broom is a very easy to do craft. I read about it here.

I used card stock for my brooms and a SB die. The sentiment is heat embossed in black. I free hand cut the sentiment and the border card stock. I used some jute to tie the sentiment on with.

The handle is colored with a Copic.

Na Na Boo Boo

Na Na Boo Boo - Isn't this little guy the cutest? Squigglefly (our sponsor) did such a good job designing him. What kid has not made this face? Maybe that is why I love him so much.

Here is the sketch for this fortnights challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy.

I colored Giddy with Copics and used Chipped Sapphire distress inks on my papers by Magic Scrapps. I ran all the papers through my Zutters distrezz-it-all. The star punch is an American Girl punch. I also used some bakers twine on my card.

Orchard

Orchard - Look at the sketch for Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Isn't is a good one?

My apple tree branch is a combo of dies. The Branch is a Quick Cuts swirly die, the leaves are a SU die and the apples are a Cricut cut using A Child's Year cartridge. I shaped the leaves by pinching them with my fingers. The apples received some Diamond Glaze to make them shiny.

My image is Orchard by Saturated Canary. Krista Smith is the creative guises behind Saturated Canary. Her images really are delightful. I love coloring the hair.

I again added Diamond glaze to the apples and some Stickles on her hair tie and pocket. She was colored with Copics.

 

My flowers are a combination that I found in my stash. I had fun trying different combos. I used a brad to hold them together.

My DP is from The Paper Studio, seasonal pad. I liked that the bobbing for Apples happened to get in the right place to show. I think it is perfect with my image.

 

Another shot of the image.

Make a Wish

Make a Wish  - I made the team at One Stop Craft Challenge. Yee Haw!!! This is my first project for them. We are sponsored by A Day For Daisies and they gave me this sweet little image to play with!

I colored the image with Copics and added Stickles to the wings of the fairy and butterfly.
I masked the image and used my air brush to make the sky. It is the first time that I have made a sky in this way and I really like it. I will definitely be doing more air brushing in the future.

The challenge for this week at One Stop Craft Challenge is heat embossing. I used a sentiment and Concord Grape distress ink and clear embossing powder. I thought is was a very appropriate stamp with the fairy on the fuzzy flower.

I tied some tulle with my Bow Easy and added a yellow butterfly. The pearls are made with a Viva Decor pearl pen.

Swan river

Swan River - Todays challenge at Creative Card Crew is to have a bird somewhere on your project. We are sponsored by the awesome Simon Says Stamp.

For this challenge, I made a center step card. These are so easy to make and so fun to recieve!

My image is a Phindy's Place image. I colored it with Copics.

I added Flower Soft to the flower box on the mill. I used a white poster paint pen to make the white bubbles/foam where the water is hitting the river. I also added some ultra fine glitter to the water.

I used more Flower Soft to make my tree a fall tree. This gives it such a nice texture.

My flower is one that I picked up at the scrapbooking convention. The flowers are made of ribbon and I thought it was just right for this fall scene.

Trellis

 Trellis - We are on R at Alphabet Challenge Blog and R is for recycle. This is a card that I had made as a semi-finalist for Heartfelt Creations. I was very disappointed that I did not make the team, but I do really like what I made for them.

My DP is K and Company Nature pad. The papers were inked with Antique Linen and Isced Spruce.

I colored Mystic Hideaway image with Copics. I then fashioned a window that could be opened using the package that a SB die came in. I created a tag to lift the window.

I used a SB die to create the vines. The flowers are another HC SB die that I cut and shaped. The centers have a wire with Flower Soft on them. I shaped them with me fingers and glued using Beacon's 3 in one glue. I was pleased as the glue did not show on the back.

It was a fun image to color.

Here is a side view so that you can see the lifting.

The scrolls are another SB die.

Here you can see the stamped and Flower Soft centers on the flowers.

I added some pearls to the scrolls and at the bottom of the card.

Blue Birds

 

Blue Birds - A new sketch challenge is starting at Seems a Little Sketchy.

 

My DP's are DCWV At Home. The doily is a Cheery Lane die; as is the thin swirly vines.

 

The punches are SU punches and the sentiment is Hot Off the Press.

 

My flowers are Heartfelt Creations Posey's cut with a coordinating SB. I shaped them with my McGill embossing tools and mat.

 

I added Bark elements by Barbara Trombley to the centers. I love this product. They use really elements from nature and they smell really good. This one smells like wood chips. I think quite perfect for my tree perched blue birds.

 



My image is Digi Doodles, who are our sponsor for this challenge. I decided that I would make my birds Blue Birds. As you can see from the image that I would on the Internet that the female is not as bright as the male; as is common with birds.
