Give Thanks

We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge today.

Here's this week's sketch

I decided to make a Thanksgiving card and was able to use up some scraps I had laying around on my desk. The background was done using Distress Oxides and water to get the watercolor effect.

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketches!

Epcot Adventure

We've got a new Mini Crop going on over at Creative Inspiration. Our theme this month is quite varied. It's family, friends, different backgrounds, dies and punches so you have a lot to choose from. I went with family and added some background work and used a punch also.

I started with white cardstock for the background and then scribbled some water color crayon on some packaging and added water and used the smooshing technique for the teal background. Then simply dug into my Disney stash. The family in the photo is my stepdaughter and 2 granddaughters. It was their 1st trip to Disney World. For some strange reason they liked Epcot better than any other park!  Go figure!!

Autumn Greetings

We've got a new sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. It's so cute and there are so many possibilities. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Here's the sketch

I started by inking up some white cardstock with some fossilized amber Distress Oxide and flicked some water on it. Then took some watercolor paper and randomly painted different fall colors all over it. I then diecut the stitched leaves out of it and added even more paint to get a better fall feel. I stamped and embossed the sentiment and inked the edges and added several orange Nuvo Drops.

I've got another Christmas card today up on the Dies R Us Blog. I am just loving all the new Christmas dies and the one I used on this card is just so much fun!

Isn't this reindeer so cute! I love how you can customize it! 

When I got the die I was a bit confused on how to use it so I went ahead and cut out some white cardstock. Then it all made sense!

I then went back and cut out the antlers and ears using brown cardstock, the hat using red cardstock and the eyes using black cardstock. 

To assemble the card, I started with a kraft cardstock base. I took a piece of white cardstock and covered it in Bundled Sage Distress Oxide and then flicked water on it. Once that was dry I flicked white paint all over it. I placed all the reindeer pieces on and then stamped and embossed the sentiment. I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops for the nose and added several under the sentiment.

I've got a Use Your Stash Challenge up today over at Creative Inspiration. I decided to give you a short list of items to use on your layout. If you don't have them all, that's ok, just use what you have.

You must use stamps, a stencil, mist or paint and some scraps. On mine the mats are from my

 scrap pile, the stars were made with a stencil and modeling paste, I flicked red mist all over the page

 and I used several graduation stamps.

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Have a scrappy day!
