Crafty Gals Corner, Anything Goes with Optional Twist - Sweets for Dad

We have a great challenge this month over at Crafty Gals Corner. The theme of the challenge is Anything Goes with an optional twist of "Sweets for Dad" 

This is my card I made for this challenge with an 2007 stamp by Whipper Snapper Designs Inc and is called Stack o' B'day Cakes. I have not had it out for quite a few years'

   

 

I used everything from my stash making this card. I coloured my cake image with Copic markers, glitter, pencil crayon. The sentiment stamp is by Magenta. I have had this stamp for a very long time and I end up using it when the sentiment is running vertical on the card. 

We will be taking our Summer break during July.  The winners for this challenge will be announced in August, when we return. 

Thank you for stopping by.

I hope you will join us in August for our next challenge.

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your entries. This is a mixed media challenge for cards and projects.

This is my June project. 

I have been playing with coffee and acrylic paint staining papers. I had taken a class and then I tried different variation of the staining at home. I used them in this project for my background. These are a few of the papers I was playing with the coffee staining. 

I got this idea for my project from one of my musical sheets that I was staining. I tried several different papers to stain and different strengths of coffee.

 The music sheet was for the song Rubber Duckie, a childhood favourite. I used instant Nescafe coffee for the coffee stains. I enjoyed this technique , I had only previously used tea bags for staining papers. 

 Along with the music sheets I added more background using with layers of stained paper. I completed the scene by adding yellow buttons, and a hand drawn rubber duckie.

April has a fun Challenge over A Place to Start - Ombre

Happy Spring everyone.

I am finally back crafting. I actually can climb the stairs to and from my craft room. I have been away for a few months due to some health issues. I sure missed everyone and my craft room.  

I was looking around blog land to an idea for a card for this month and  came across this idea over at A Place to Start. The optional Twist is Ombre' 

Ombre is not one specific colour, but rather a technique - meaning shapes. Not One specific colouriser , but rather a technique, shading.

I layered papers in similar colours, coloured sands, a Tim Holtz butterfly and sentiment to make my card. 

  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
