Pearly Sparkles Monthly Challenge for October ~ Mostly Black and/or Purple

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's finally October - my birthday month! - and time for a new challenge atPearly Sparkles Challenge.
This month's challenge is to use mostly Black and/or Purple on your creation.Here's what I designed.

I ink blended the background using Distress Inks mixed with a touch of glycerin.  I put Liquid Pixie Dust on a paint brush and flicked it over the background.  Not only did it add a touch of sparkle but the water base also reacted with the ink.The stamp was one of the very first clear stamp sets I purchased when I began this journey oh so many years ago.  I don't even know the manufacturer - oops- but I love it, especially when the images are heat embossed.  It's really a very simple card but I think it's really pretty.
I hope you'll play along with us this month.  Be sure to visit the blog to see how other design team members responded to the challenge.
Thanks for visiting.

Cut it Up Challenge #209 ~ Happy Fall Y'All (using 3 or more layers)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's a fun fall challenge from Cut it Up.

Your creation can be anything fall but you must use at least 3 layers!

I LOVE layers so this challenge was just my style.

I made the background by ink blending on Neenah Desert Storm paper.  I used Jaded Blossom's Fall Leaves to do some random stamping and then added the die cut post and some grassy accents.  A little bit of sequin bling is always a good thing!  The leaf stamping technique was inspired by my fellow Jaded Blossom design team member, Lee-Ann Kubinec.  Her stamping is A-Maz-ing!!!

Come play along with us for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher from our challenge sponsor,

Thankful for You ~ Jaded Blossom

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

I wanted to experiment with my new Atelier Fusion Ink pads (from Ink on 3) by using them to water color.

I chose the Fall Flourish set to use for this project.

Jaded Blossom products used for this card:

Fall Flourish

Card Mat Dies

Stitched Circle Dies

Scallop Circle Dies

If you're new to water coloring, it helps to heat emboss your image first to help the color stay within the lines.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Jaded Blossom's September Challenge ~ Falling for Fall

Hi Crafty Friends,

Are you ready for the new Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge?

Our challenge for September is Falling for Fall.

Please share your fall projects on the JB Blog for a chance to win a Jaded Blossom stamp set of your choice.  Remember, you must include a Jaded Blossom stamp or die.

Here's a cute shaker tag I made for this month's theme.

I used the Layered Frame and Journal Die set for the shaker.  I cut the frame 5 times, one with patterned paper and the others with chip board to stack and create the shaker pocket.

I also used Fall Dies, Label Dies, and the Harvest Signs stamp set.

I hope you'll join us for this month's challenge.

Cut it Up Challenge #208 ~ The Wheels on the Bus . . .

Hi Crafty Friends,

The Cut it Up Challenge this week is WHEELS.  You're invited to show any project with wheels.

I'm trying to think ahead to Christmas and I love the red truck so here's my WHEELS project.

I think this truck die from Impression Obsession is so cute.  I have pumpkins, hearts, and, of course, the trees to go with it.  And who doesn't love some holiday plaid?  This simple yet fun card can easily be made in multiples.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.

I hope you'll play along with this challenge.
Our sponsor for this challenge is
Newton's Nook offering a $20 store credit prize.
