ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist of a TIC-TAC-TOE BOARD 

(created by our DT Member Colleen)!!

Now, remember for the Tic Tac Toe Board it's 3 across, or 3 up and down, or 3 diagonal....so you could do Flowers, Sentiment, and Embossing, or Flowers, Square, and Rectangles, or Flowers, Buttons, and Lace. It's totally up to you on which Row you decide to use!! 

Just remember to qualify for the TOP 3 and Gift Certificate, you must use a stamp carried in the 7 Kids College Fund Store. This challenge will end on AUGUST 11th, 12:00pm MST.

Some of my favorite stamps are the Simply Gorjuss line from DoCrafts. I own a lot of them, haha! This one is called Simply Gorjuss Getaway. She's stamped on X-press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E13

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps~SC Girl Power: LITTLE LOVES

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back to share my latest card for Little Darlings Rubber Stamps using this adorable gal called Saturated Canary Girl Power: Little Loves. I LOVE butterflies so I had to have this fabulous stamp! She is stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I framed my image using the LDRS Dewdrop Circle Die....it's GORGEOUS!!

 

 Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E13

Lips: R22, R27

Eyes: E44

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Dress: R24, R27, R29, R59

Butterfly: BG13, BG15, Y02 

 

TIP OF THE DAY: I sprinkled Aged Taupe Frantage Embossing powder around my image, and used my Toaster to heat it from underneath to keep the particles from flying around! By using the toaster I can control where the particles go and if there are any on her face I can move them off before I heat it.

  

I decided to make an easel card and used some dps from Echo Park Fine and Dandy 6x6 Paper Pad. The flowers are from I Am Roses and the pearls were in my stash. The butterfly was cut out using By DIEzyne Dies Dotted Wings and Puffy Things. I also used the same LDRS Dewdrop Circle Die for underneath the sentiment. I just used my cutting knife to cut off the outer edge of the die to form a dotted circle.

 

Now head over to the LDRS Store to get all your cute stamps and amazing dies! If you want to see more amazing creations from my fellow DT sisters, then head over to the LDRS Blog. And be sure to come have some fun with us on the LDRS Facebook Group!

 

Hugs!

Make it Colourful JULY Challenge~Casting Shadows

Hi everyone! Today starts a new challenge on the Make it Colourful Challenge Blog, and for the month of JULY our challenge is: CASTING SHADOWS.

 

I admit this was definitely another hard one for me. It definitely helps to look up photos online to use for inspiration. I decided to try something different this time and try for a watercolor feel to my Copic coloring. I used the MiC Old Oak Tree Digi.

I need some more practice, but I do like the softness and blend of the colors. I just need to work on the placement of the colors a little more. 

To get the watercolor effect, I dabbed my colors on balled up pieces of Kleenex and then added Colorless Blender on top of the colors. Next I dabbed the Kleenex onto the X-press It Blending card. Pretty simple technique and I LOVE the watercolor look.

 Tree: E44, E47, E49

Leaves: YG23, YG67, G46

Grass: YG23, YG67, YG97, G28, G46

Shadow: C5, C7

Sky: Y15, YR68, R02, R08, R29, R35, B05
Colorless Blender

 

Remember to use a Make it Crafty image and upload your projects to the Make it Crafty Gallery. We’d love to see you share your work of art with us. Also, please share your progress, possible disasters and your triumphs with us in the Facebook group HERE. We'd love to see you joining us so we can Oooooh and Aaaaah over your creations!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
