Talking with the Moon


Talking with the Moon - Fairy day is coming up on June 24th, so we thought this was the perfect time for a challenge to use your fairies at Creative Card Crew!!


I have used A Day for Daisies talking with the moon image. I love this image and it was a great one to use my frisket and airbrush with my Copics. 

I cut the image and mat with SB dies. I also used a SB Grand for the shape.


My leaves are HC. I stamped them on yellow card stock and then used 3D paint on them. Don't you love the shimmer on them? The flowers were from Michael's and the gorgeous yellow one, I picked up at the scrap booking convention that I went to last week. I added glitter to them.


The blue button I also picked up at the convention.

Going Home


Going Home - It is new challenge time at Crafts 4 Eternity!! This week we have a sketch for you. It is a really great one for a page, so that is what I do, although I do believe it would make a cute sketch too!


Here it is the sketch!


I am doing another page of my sweet little Inara. I started with some great paper by Prima. The brown is flocked, so it has some really fun texture. I inked the edges with Viva 3-D paint. It has a lot of sparkle in it in real life.


The flower is HC and I used a swirly SB for the "leaves." The punched flowers is MS.


Here is the sweet face of my Inara. You can see that she still had her hospital bracelet on. She was her going home for the first time photo.

YAY!


YAY! - It is time for another fun challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity!!! Yay!!! This week our challenge is masculine. With Father's day right around the corner, it is the perfect time for this theme.

I made an accordion card using my new Elizabeth Craft Accordion dies. This is a fantistic die! So easy to do a really great card that looks like it took hours to make.


This is what my card looks like folded flat for mailing. I used a birthday stamp set by Autumn Leaves for the hats and sentiment. I also used 2 different SU punches for the hats.


Here is the card opened. 


My little guy is by our sponsor, Crafty Sentiments. I colored him and all of the images from the Autumn Leaves with Copics.


Another panel.

My red designer paper is Bazzill Basic's, Red Devil. The blue is Studio G.

Nautical


Nautical - It is time for a new challenge at The Sweet Pea Stampers. This fortnight's challenge is a photo inspiration.


Here is our photo for your inspiration. 

For my card, I went with a nautical theme. This card uses the fold that a lady's son came home with a magic trick, but she was so curious about the folds, that she created this fold for card makers. I tried to find the tutorial that I used, but I could not even remember her name, much less her blog. Her directions were very easy to follow.


My image is Spring Nocturne ©ching chou kuik by Sweet Pea Stamps. I used the digi, but she is also available in rubber. She is a gorgeous image and so fun to color with my Copics.


Here is a close up of the different flowers that I used on the front panel.


I used a MS punch for the Wings on the inner panels. 


This inner panel uses only the design paper, which is Authentique's, Anchored.


Here is the card opened.


The top inner panel uses a SB die, which I cut in red and navy and altered them on top of each other. My sentiment is by The Paper Company. 

I finished off my card with some tiny gemstones under the sentiment and a row bling a the bottom.
