Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #188 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme is "Always Anything Goes " but this week we have an optional twist to use at least 2 patterned papers and no solids.

We are sponsored this week by:-

Bugaboo - prize - 4 digital stamps
Sunny Studio Stamps - prize - $20 gift card to store

I have used the Bugaboo digital image "Turtles Birthday".

My image has been watercolored with Bienfang Watercolor Brush Pens, and Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours. I used 4 different patterned papers from my scraps. 

Since this birthday card will go to my youngest niece I had to pop a bit of bling and sparkle on there, so using up my stash I found some flowers and jewels.  I know she will love it.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #184 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme is " Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps   4 digis to a single winner

I have used their fabulous digital image "Flower Lips".

Once I got started with this great image I couldn't stop.  I found some great quotes in my stash from years ago - Colorbok Vellum Quotes - Nature.

I watercolored my first two images using Gelatos.  I rubbed them onto my non stick craft sheet and added water.  For the pattern on the clothing I sprinkled on some Brushos onto the wet image.

The back of the vellum quotes were laid over the left over wet Gelatos then lifted to allow drips etc

The last image was watercolored using Brushos

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge # over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is The Cutting Café  one winner will receive any 3 sets from store

- I have used their fabulous digital file "For that Wonderful Mom".

I started with a piece of white cardstock stamping the flowers with Versamark and clear embossing them. I then used some Dylusions sprays with water to colour different parts of the image and sentiment. I mounted my image and sentiment onto blue copy paper and then mounted that onto my card base. It really turned out beautifully. 

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #170 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

I'm excited to welcome you to a new year of challenges.
Our theme this year is "Always Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsors this week are

Bugaboo - 4 digital stamps to a single winner
Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

- I have used the fabulous digital image "Nurse Margaret- Hurt A Little" from Bugaboo.

I decided my art journal was feeling a little unloved. So I used a number of acrylic paints applying them with my fingers.  I then went back with my stencils.

I started out colouring the image with acrylics but it wasn't behaving how I wanted so I converted to some simple kids crayons. The sentiment comes with the digi image.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge # over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes" 

Our Sponsor this week is 

Little Blue Button Stamps 4 digis to a single winner

Sami's Stamps- $12 gift voucher to store

I have used the LBBS fabulous design "Halloween" – printable art tiles and bottle caps designs.

I have used a number on a scrapbook layout.

I worked with a base of black cardstock to which I stamped and embossed a crackled background.  I chose a piece of patterned paper that I ripped diagonally down the page and placed half on each side.  The photos were taken with a special roll of film that printed all the titles on top.  Some I cut off but used these in other areas.  I had the witch, moon and spider web die cuts from years ago so along with the LBBS printable the whole layout came together .  I journaled some thoughts and used a stencil for my title and stickers for the date.

Our Sponsors this week are 

Little Blue Button Stamps - 4 digis to a single winner
Bugaboo - 7 digital stamps. 

I have used the Bugaboo fabulous digital image "BUGBUGABOOCAT".

My image has been coloured with copic and finecolour markers and cut using my Scan N Cut machine.  I then used it on a scrapbook layout to prove to Jo that I do still occasionally scrap :D

My layout is of my baby Electra who was given to me in May for my 50th. Look forward to a few more layouts as I have some cute photos of her and her sister Khaleesi who my sister owns.  

The whole papers etc came in a kit from a friend Carol who used to run classes and the such when I lived in the USA.  I am sure she will laugh that I have finished this layout some 10 years later LOL

So the challenge was for 321 - 

3 Colors - Brown Blue and Green

2 Embellishments - Ribbons and flowers

1 Technique - Punching and Die cutting

For a closer look just click on the photo

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #149 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes " 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Di's Digi Stamps  who give $12 voucher to shop 

Little Blue Button Stamps who give 4 digis to a single winner

I have used the LBBS fabulous digital image "You Got a Present".  

I have created my card so it can be used as either a birthday or Christmas card.  My image has been coloured with Copic and Finecolour markers and cut out using my Scan N Cut machine.

Green card was then cut to cover my card base and for my image to mount onto.  The pink/silver layer was a new experiment for me.  

I had been shown a foiling technique using Jac paper- a double sided adhesive sheet.  Having no Jac paper on hand I decided to experiment putting a piece of cardstock through my xyron machine.  Once the adhesive was applied and before removing the backing sheets I embossed the cardstock using my cuttlebug and an embossing folder.  Then removing the backing sheet to expose the adhesive I lay across a sheet of silver craft foil and rubbed with my hands.  The foil adhered to the embossed areas.  I then sprinkled pink glitter onto the areas that were not embossed to cover over the remaining adhesive.  

The photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it looks.  There are a few little spots where the adhesive has lifted.  I'm not sure if this is because the xyron hasn't been used in a while or that the adhesive is not suited to this technique.  I will be trying the foiling again for another project in the future.

Once all the layers were combined I finished my project off with liquid pearls.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #141 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Recycled Scraps " 

This weeks' sponsors :-

Sherri Baldy Designs 3 images to one winner
The Cutting Café  Any 3 sets from store to one winner

I have used The Cutting Café  file set "Tissue Box Cover"

This set contained files for a square and rectangle tissue boxes. 

I first converted the SVG files to those that work with my Scan N Cut on Scan N Cut Canvas.  I then cut the files using paper scraps.

Now I'm not sure if Aussie tissue boxes are a different size or if it was the conversion but my measurements were out and the box is bigger than my tissues.  I also didn't have enough coverage where the tissues exit so I improvised and added the extra PP and black to the both ends of that opening (my tissues had an elliptical opening) 

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!
