Pearly Sparkles August Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's August!!!  So far 2020 has NOT been a good year for our family so I'm hoping August will give us a break and be full of love, joy, and CRAFTING!!
For our Pearly Sparkles August challenge it's ANYTHING GOES.No excuses, now, show us what you've got LOL.
I've been wanting to venture out beyond Copic coloring so I've been adding to my water colors collection.  I just bought Karin Brush markers and after watching a number of videos, decided to give them a try.Here's my project.

I'm happy with the results but definitely need to keep "playing."

I stamped the image onto water color paper then smooshed the panel onto a glass craft mat on which I had applied several marker colors and then spritzed with water.  I used my heat tool to dry the panel and then began applying the markers using the smooshed-on colors for inspiration.  I used a water color brush pen to pull out the marker color.  Water coloring is certainly a lot more forgiving than Copics  so I really need to loosen up!

I hope you'll share with us this month.  Just follow the link above.

Have fun, experiment, show us something you love ♥

Christmas Spirits

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day at Jaded Blossom.

I just couldn't let July go by without at least one Christmas in July project so I made this wine tag to add to a bottle of Christmas spirits.
I also made this project for my dear friend, Rosemary, who much prefers wine to coffee and wanted to see something other than coffee-themed projects LOL!

The Jaded Blossom products used include:

Christmas Dies

Candy Wrap Dies

Wine Tag Die

Christmas Spirits

Thanks for visiting today.

Cut it Up Challenge #205 ~ Ice Cream!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to Cut it Up Challenges newest challenge,

Ice Cream, You Scream, We all scream for ICE CREAM!

I remember yelling that when I was a kid and we heard the ice cream truck music coming down our street!

Here's my project using a sentiment from our challenge sponsor,

Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

I printed the sentiment since it was a digital file and then die cut it.

The ice cream cone is from LaLa Land Crafts and the border die is from Jaded Blossom.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge.  Just follow the Cut it Up link above.

Cut It Up Challenge #204 ~ Create Your Own Background Paper

Hi Crafty Friends,

We have a really fun challenge for you at Cut it Up Challenge Blog.

We want to see you create your own background paper.

I had fun with this one.  I'm trying to expand my blending and stamping skills so here's what I created.

I blended Distress Ink onto some Papertrey Ink white paper.  Then I die cut the slimline frame using a metallic paper(Whimsy Stamps) and placed it over the blended paper to determine the placement for the panels.  I used Jaded Blossom's Spring Splatters for the top and bottom panel, stamping on top of the blended background.  I used the slimline die again to cut each panel from the section I wanted.  Finally, I added these adorable cacti from Cute Cacti (Whimsy Stamps) and added a LaLa Land Crafts cloud and some grass clusters.  The sentiment also came from the Cute Cacti set.  I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops and called it done.

I hope you'll play along with us.  Be sure to visit the Cut It Up blog to see even more amazing backgrounds!
