PUPPY LOVE

 

Hi everyone! Welcome back for another challenge at

We have three great sponsors for this weeks challenge:

Prize: 2 digi images of winners choice

Prize: 2 digi images of winners choice

Prize: 2 digi images of winners choice

For my project today I got the pleasure to use Woof You by all dressed up. i really loved getting to color this darling pooch. I pulled out a great set of stencils and a stamp set that I received in a kit from Hedgehog Hollow recently.

Using a light blue ink I blended over the stencils to create the fun paw and bone background. I needed a sentiment so I finished it with this cute love sentiment. I added a bit of the light blue to the outer edges of the dog panel to give a bit more depth.

I finished the card with some fun dew drop embellishments from The Robin's Nest. 

FLOWERING FRIEND CARD WITH DEW DROPS

 

Hi everyone, Diana here with you today with a pretty floral card that's perfect to send to that special friend. This card quickly came together and I love how the dew drops blend right in.

I knew I wanted to keep the background white as I was adding a lot of colors. I started with die cutting out the garden trellis and adhering it to my card base. I then stamped all my images and colored them in with my copic markers. 

Once that was finished I used the matching dies and cut all the flowers and leaves out. I then arranged them onto my card front and started adhering them down. I wanted to keep the sentiment simple so a quick friend die from black cardstock was perfect. To finish it off I added several different colors of dew drops!

Supplies:

Robin's Nest, mini jj, purple hair dew drops, petunia dew drops, neon blue dew drops

Other Supplies: garden trellis cover die, simply friend die (altenew), copic markers, long stem flowers stamps/dies (simon says stamp)

FUN PENGUIN PLAY ARTWORK

 

 Hi everyone! Diana here with a fun wintery scene that you can add to the front of a 5x7 card or place in a frame and use as winter decor. 

I had a lot of fun creating this winter scene. I've gotten into Lawn Fawn stamps lately and can't wait to get them out and start coloring them!

 I used cracked pistachio, peackcock feathers, and blueprint sketch distress oxide inks. Using the lightest to darkest I blended them together to get a beautiful night sky for my scene. I love how it created a glow around my tree. 

Once I had the background done I used a variety of small snowflake stamps with pigment white ink on the upper background area and let it dry. While this was drying I stamped and colored all of my images. I then cut some hills out of sparkle cardstock and started creating my scene. 

Once it was all put together I pulled out my black/white/silver dew drops and added some of the white ones to the snowflakes. 

Once it was all put together I pulled out my black/white/silver dew drops and added some of the white ones to the snowflakes.

HELLO THOUGHT OF YOU WATERCOLOR BACKGROUND CARD

  Hi everyone! Diana here with you today to share a fun holiday hello card. This card started out as a traditional Christmas card but as I started working on it I knew I wanted a large sentiment so it changes just a bit. 

I started by stamping my desired images with versamark ink onto watercolor paper, then adding platinum embossing powder, and heat setting. then I sprayed my panel liberally with water. 

I used my altenew watercolor brush markers to color in my images first. Spraying the water first helps the ink move more freely on the image. 

 I then watercolored the background to give more texture. I went ahead and added my gold string trim. I did end up with a small splotch but no worries, my sentiment will cover that up. 

For my sentiment I watercolored another piece of paper in the reds I used on my flowers. I then die cut the large hello. 

I then cut two more from white cardstock to give some dimension. This also helps keep the sentiment sturdy. 

Using liquid clue I adhered all three pieces together and adhered them to the front of my card. I stamped a secondary sentiment on white cardstock and die cut it out.

A little closer look at the watercoloring. I am loving the large hello. 

I finished my card by adding Ornament Mini Dew Drops around my sentiment and on the sentiment strip. 

Supplies:

Robin's Nest: ornament mini dew drops

Altnew: happy pomegranates stamp set, mega hello die, sentiment strips 2 stamp set, feature sentiment dies, spring garden & winter wonderland watercolor brushes, antique gold linen thread, platinum embossing powder.

BEGINING TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS: A DEW DROP CARD

 Hi everyone! I have another fun project to share for

 I pulled out some new stamps and dies and got crafty! I've seen a lot of different snow drift cards and I really wanted to give it a try!

To create this card I started out with slimline snowdrift dies. I put them down on either side of a  sheet of cardstock and cut them out. then I adhered them together at the bottom. Next I took two shades of blue and created the starry night sky.

Using my new stamps and dies from lawn fawn I stamped the two trees, four strands of lights, and three critters (only two made it on the card)

I then colored in the lights and critters and started placing them around on the card. I really liked putting one of the trees behind a drift and having the bear trying to put the star on. I used some dimensional foam on the tree in the front and the cute dear handing the ornament.

I finished the card off with stamping some stars in the sky and then adding in dew drops as ornaments and in the stars. 

SUPPLIES:    

Dew Drops: ornament mini dew drops,  limoncello mini dew drops

Stamps/Dies: tree trimming friends-lawn fawn, stitched slimline snowdrift dies-MFT

Inks: Pinkfresh studios: evergreen, olive, sapphinre, summer shower, espresso, Altenew: permanent black

Markers: Altenew artist markers

Cardstock: Neenah solar whie 80 lb

CUTE HALLOWEEN EARRINGS AND BOXES

 Hi everyone! Welcome back! I have another great project for the

I had so much fun creating these earring boxes and earrings. I recently found some earring dies over at Taylored Expressions and couldn't wait to give them a try. And once I decided to make them the boxes using the dew drops just made sense.

I first started by looking up svg files to create the box. I started with the cricut design space but didn't find anything I really liked so I went to trusty google and found a great set of three over at ETSY. 

I took one sheet of patterned paper and cut the svg twice, flipping the paper over for the second one to get the other side as the outer design. 

Once I had my boxes cut I set to work decorating the outside of them. I added some die cut stickers that matched my paper and then took out my dew drops and added them. I used the CITRINE DIMOND DEW DROPS for my first box and ran them down the left hand side to create a nice border. 

For my second box I pulled out my OBSIDAN DIAMOND DEW DROPS and added them to two of the corners in a diamond pattern. 

Once I had the boxes put together I went about die cutting my earrings from different shades of leather and adding them to the hooks. 

I made the witchy pair first and all though I like them I wasn't thrilled with them so I made a second pair that are tear drops and love them!

IT'S TIME TO PAW-TY!

 Hi everyone! I'm here today to share a fun card I made for

I totally forgot that I needed a project for today and had to quickly come up with something so I wasn't late to the paw-ty! I used two challenges to help me get this card going.

A sketch from Sunday Stamps

Challenge #178
Our theme for the new challenge is
"Cute Critters"

This is what I came up with on the fly...I'm really happy with it. The colors are so bright and I haven't used this stamp set yet so it was great to pull out new stuff and put it to use. 

I used a fun circle card cover plate in a light blue and followed up with a red and green strip and the fun confetti to but over the red. 

I used color pencils in the same colors as the papers to color in the balloons and the pup's accessories.
