Lacy Sunshine Anything Goes

 

This is my second post of the day, so please scroll down for my Dilly Beans DT card for the new Challenge.

Here's a little tag I did for the current challenge at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog.  Although I started it using the freebie I got from the Loyalty Plan (use any LS image for one challenge, get the next Challenge image as a freebie)  from the last challenge but didn't quite get it done, it totally works for Anything Goes this time.  I've made a Spring tag using my Cricut for the garden gate.  It was designed in DS using the Picturesque cartridge with the "Spring" header from Stretch Your Imagination.  The pieces were then embossed with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder.

The adorable image is Gemma's Spring Gumdrops.  Could she possibly be any cuter?  I've printed her several times in several sizes so I could fussy cut her flower, colored her with Copics and fussy cut and popped her in front of the fence.  The flower on her head is popped as well and there are two more growing beside her on the other side of the gate.

As you can see, the tag is quite dimensional.  The DP behind is from an old DCWV sack and I've added a little punched butterfly and Prima flowers to the top of the gate.

I'm also adding this to the 4 Crafty Chicks Spring Challenge, C.R.A.F.T Challenge What Season Where You Are, Art Impressions "Getting Girly", Outlawz Twisted Thursday Add a Butterfly, Creative Knockouts Texturize it, Cute Card Thursday Floral Delights, Southern Girls Floral Frenzy, Stampavie and More Girly, TTRCD ATG Mar 25th -31, Tuesday Throwdown Digi Dimension, All-Crafts Challenge Anything but a Card, Artistic Inspirations ATG, Created with Love Girly Challenge, 613 Ave Create ATG, Whoopsie Daisy Welcome Spring, Catered Crop Spring Fever, Craft a Scene Let it be Spring, Eclectic Ellapu Flowers and Butterfies, and Robin's Fetish Anything but a Card.

Countdown to Halloween!

EEEK!  It's the first day of the BEST month of the year!  I'm counting the days 'til Halloween, aren't you?  I hope to have some fun projects this month, but we'll see how that goes.  Today I have a Halloween card with a sentiment circle from Jellypark that I received FREE in the newsletter.   Sign up HERE for lots of good stuff.  I'm entering it in the current Jellypark Challenge which is The Sentiment is the Key.

I printed the circle 3 times.  Twice small and once large enough to accommodate the rosette I planned to layer.  I used a punch to punch the center of one of the smal circles and colored it orange with Copics.  the other circles were cut with Nesties and the cool bat frame is part of my new Making Memories Spooky Frame set.  The whole shebang was then layered on a Nesties Beaded Circle.  The orange dots are just from a standard punch and I've added adhesve beads for more interest.  DP is Authentique.

Here's the dimensional shot.  There's a whole lot of popping going on.  Have to say I kinda love it.  Hope you do too.

Steampunk Zodiacs 2 Release at Simply Steampunk

It's another exciting day at Simply Steampunk Challenges.  We're celebrating the release of Steampunk Zodiacs Collection 2 and I'm thrilled to be showcasing Taurus, because that's MY sign.  I've used beautiful Fall colored DP from K&Co and framed the image using Spellbinders Labels 25.  The gears are also Spellbinders dies that I've grunged up a bit in Steampunk fashion with Distress Inks.  The fall flowers are Recollections.

The lovely Taurus is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped for dimension.  As you will see, the images don't exactly scream Zodiac, making them very versatile.  Hey, those horns could totally mean something else. LOL

The Taurus traits were found on the net.  Strong willed and aggressive?  Moi?  Well, okay, some I agree with but "the Tramp"?  How RUDE!  Just 'cause we're good kissers (so I've been told) and love to indulge in sensual pleasures (of all kinds) DOES NOT make us Tramps.  Still, I loved the scroll, so I had to include it.  Now that all of the signs are represented, you must see the rest of my Teamies' fabulous projects at Simply Steampunk.  And don't forget, you've still got time to play in our Layers Challenge going on now.  Hope to see you there.

Wicked Wednesday Wing It Challenge

Don't faint, I'm WAY ahead for this week's Wicked Wednesday's Wing It Challenge.  Should be decorating but I couldn't resist coloring this sweet little angel, Euro Girl Hazel, from Rick St. Dennis (see, I told you they weren't all creepy).  Don'tcha just want to pinch her cheeks?  And she's such a bargain at only $2.00, don'tcha think?  Anyway, she's colored with Copics and metallic gel pens, fussy cut and popped atop some fab specialty paper that looks like clouds to me.  Wan't sure how I was gonna attach it to the iridescent card stock but found this peelie border that did the trick and echoes the lovely trim on her dress.  The large stars are Spellbinders dies with a Recollections epoxy sentiment.  Teeny adhesive stars are also scattered across the sky.  The fab WWDT is joined by some of the Stampotique DT this week and wait 'til you see the inspiration.  WOW!  Fab prize from Stampotique, too.  Hope to make another entry using Stampotique stamps as well and keep my fingers crossed.
