Nuts about you

Hi everyone! I'm on a roll today! Here's card number 2!

This one is for CAS(e) this sketch #97. Which was a lot of fun to play with!

The stamps and dies are from Lil' Inkers Designs. I cut the shapes out of vintage cream cardstock and then added in the insides of gold and green after sponging on some potting soil ink from Ranger. Next I stamped the sentiment and the little leaf, then decided to color the little leaf with Copic's. Love how that little guy turned out, but thought I needed to have at least 3 on the card.

The die is an all-in-one and cuts the top and bottom of the acorn and the small leaf. Daubered on some fall like ink colors and then used a glue dot to attach.

The challenge over at Simon Says Stamps is to use Kraft, so I'm adding this.

Time to clean up my messy craft room! Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media tag

Hi everyone! I saw this challenge come through to create a mixed media tag and thought I'd give it a try.

I started with a tag from Prima called tag pad by Julie Nutting.

Using a stencil from Crafter's Workshop and some modeling paste I added the diamonds onto the lower half of the tag. Once dry I used the turquoise pan pastel to add color.

The top right is done using die cut's, tumbled glass distress ink and the turquoise pan pastels.

The grunge stamp is from Technique Tuesday and I stamped it in Potting soil Archival Ink. Then when it was still kind of tacky, I smudged it up and added more turquoise.

Burlap flower is from The Paper Studio and a button from American Crafts is added with a tiny string bow. I don't think you can see it in the picture, but I added some turquoise polka dots to the button.

Believe stamp is from Gina K Designs and the gold spray is irRESISTible from Imagine crafts. Lastly, I ordered some colored jute string from a gardening magazine a long time ago and finally got to use some of it on this tag. I did spray this with a sealer after I was done.

Again, the challenge is from Mixed Media Mojo and the August challenge is Tags. I'm also adding this to CAS(E) this sketch and Tag your it which is all about tags too.

For all you do

Hey everyone! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #124.

I saw this sketch as a way to use up some of my designer paper! Gasp! This is from Authentique's 8 x 8 pack called Renew.

I sponged on some Wendy Vecchi archival ink in cornflower blue so that the yellow flower dp stood out a bit. The yellow strip is also distressed a bit around the edges with thatched straw from Versamagic.

Pastel candy dots from Reflections and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Inside this it says "Thanks!"

This ended up being a 5 x 5 square card.  Thanks for stopping by!
