IC608 challenge - really cool board called Rock Art by Nayler. I found this very beautiful ROCK. I loved the clean and simple look of the beautifully painted dragonfly. Keeping the card clean and simple like the rock used a couple layers of white card stock off centered on the base and popped on dimensionals. Sponged in the blue and glued down the dragon fly. Finished off with some stickles on the dragon fly. |
F4A388 - Old McDonald (Barn Owl) This super cute owl was sent to me from a friend and I am trying to use up stuff that is in my craft room. I thought a barn owl would be great for today's challenge. Colored the image with pencils and gamsol. Popped the image on dimensionals and a square die cut frame. Stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt_Creations. Framed the panel with some DP that my mom gave me and finished off with dew drops. |

IC607 challenge - the fantastic Cuadros board on Pinterest. I found this wonderful IMAGE. I loved the yellow in the flowers and how they are spread out throughout the vase and image. Using this rose mage from Heartfelt Creations I stamped the image and colored in yellow copics. Die cut the image and popped on dimensionals. The yellow hexagons were punched out of scraps of yellows and I added enamel dots in yellow for accents. Stamped the pink and main sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals. Finished off with a die cut Bee that was sent to me from another crafting friend. |

Added the memory box ornament die cut and added a few punched snowflakes and gems to add some additional layers to the ornament and stamped the sentiment. |
IC606 challenge - I love Jennifer McGuire and love her wonderful videos to show how to do new techniques or great card ideas. This VIDEO with the distress oxides shows some great water stamping ideas with the distress oxides. I encourage you to watch to the end to see all the wonderful ideas. At the end of the video is this technique using black card stock and the distress oxide. Using the wonderful Swallowtail stamp from SU and the distress oxide I did the same technique Jennifer did at the end of the video. Once the image was complete I finished off with some Dew Drops and Gems and popped the sentiment on dimensionals. |

Die cut the BG with a triangular BG die and layered one on white and one on black. Die cut 4 feathers in black and white and added the sentiment. Finished off with sequins as Ann had on her card. |
