Happy Grandparents Day

Welcome back to another challenge over at Come and Get It Challenges. The sponsor this week of our Happy Grandparents Day is Paper Nest Dolls. I have used one of their cute images called Avery in Oz for my card.

My cute little girl was coloured with Copics and a glitter pen, cut with my scan and cut and layered on a die cut. To complete the card I added a sentiment, butterfly, leaves and flowers. Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. Pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by the creativity of our design team.

Monochromatic Challenge

Time for another great challenge at Crafty Cardmakers this month.  The theme of the challenge is monochromatic. 

The trumpet player is an unmounted rubber stamp that was purchased at a garage sale and I am unable to find out who made the stamp.  The other stamps are from Hampton Art Stamps that make up my monochromatic collage.  I also used some washi tape and diamond glaze on the bubbles to give the card some texture. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Remember to stop by our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team. 

At the Fair

Time for another great challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week.  The challenge is to create a card or project with the theme of  "At the Fair"  

I used this cute animal parade using an image from our sponsor,  Bugaboo Digital Stamps. The image is called Scene It Celebration Critters. 

My image was coloured with Copics, white gel pen, and a glitter pen.  It was a cute image to colour.

Altered Eclectic September Challenge

Time for another great challenge at Altered Eclectics this month.  This challenge blog is anything goes as long as it is mixed media or altered art.  

This is my project for September, an altered box. 

I stenciled a pattern on my box then covered the entire outside of my box with black gesso.  Next I added some findings that I had been collecting.  The findings included pins, flowers, shells leaves, gears, buttons etc.  

This is part way through the project. I forgot to take a before picture.

I added a layer of black gesso on top of the findings and when I had everything covered in layer of the gesso I added sprays and mica powders for colour.
