Be Scary

 Happy Sunday!

This is the final stretch for the current bi-weekly challenge for Art Impressions - All A-Buzz Challenge.  I am doing a second submission using one of my favorite retired Art Impressions stamp sets #4521 - Be Scary.  She is so cute and so not scary 😁. 

Even though it isn’t Halloween I thought she was a cute addition to everything that buzzes. I also used #5414 - WC Small Rocks Set for the rocks,  #5190 - Fright Night Set for the spider web, and 5601 - Halloween Accessory Set for the spiders on the card front and for the background paper.

Coloring was done with Copic Markers, I also used Karin Decogel Metallic Pen in grey and Decogel MilkyWay pens in white, black, y. orange and yellow.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you have a great week!

All A-Buzz

 Happy Sunday!

This weekend I worked on the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge All A-Buzz.  For this project I decided to make a tag with a twist.  

I used #5728 - Mushroom Cubbies Stamp set for the images, #5132 - Tag Stitched Dies for the base tag and smaller tags. The fence cut in the middle of the tag is from #5719 - FB Fence Window Set Die.  Flowers are fussy cut from the Mushroom Cubbies set.  The bee “flying”in the middle is the front and back of bee from the same set with a string glued in-between to have it suspended in the air.

If you enter the challenge you have the potential of winning a free stamp set of your choice!  The challenges push me to try different things and is a lot of fun. You should give it a try. 

Hope you like my project and I appreciate you stopping by for a visit!

Magical Creatures!

 Happy Monday! 

Magical Creatures is the theme for this Art Impressions Bi-Weekly Challenge.  AI has created some of the cutest little fairy stamp sets and I selected one of the older ones to use.  For this challenge I kept it simple and only used one stamp/die set, which is extremely hard for me to do, but this set has a lot of options to work with.

I started on my magical journey using  #5345 - Fairy Cubbies Set.  I really love the Cubbies Sets because the die cuts out the open areas for you.  On this card I didn’t want the treehouse cut out so I used my craft knife to cut out the windows keeping the treehouse intact.  

Behind the windows I put very pale yellow glitter cardstock and had a fairy flying out of the door, one poking her head out of the top window and one sitting inside int downstairs window.  Using my Copics I did all the coloring  and finished it with some pastel glitter cardstock.  

I am finding I don’t photograph glitter very well.  I guess I must keep practicing and would love anyone’s suggestions if you have some.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a very crafty week!
