Joy Clair September Blog Hop

Greetings Crafty Friends. Time for another great installment of the Joy Clair Monthly Blog Hop. 

Today I am going to highlight two sets from this months release. 

Fall Time was made using the new Fall Planner set. I used Recollections Ombre Ink to stamp the leaves, and Versamark to stamp Fall Time, I then used Whispers brand opaque Orange embossing powder and my heat gun. The card stock is from DCWV Mixed Media mini stock. I grabbed some burlap from my stash, and a few sequins to finish off the look. 

As soon as I saw this God's Time stamp set I knew what I was going to do. Using a embossed page from a Tim Holtz embossing folder as the background I built the card up from there. After stamping the image and using my Scan N Cut to carefully cut it out, I used Versamark to restamp it, and used Copper embossing powder. I then sprayed the time piece with Tattered Angels Sea Glass for shimmer. Using GinaK Dark Chocolate dye ink I stamped the sentiment. Finishing it off  I used pop dots on the time piece to add some dimension.

Joy Clair September Challenge

Hi there crafty friends. I wanted to take time today to let you know that the Joy Clair September Challenge has begun. 

Our Challenge Inspiration:

My project:

Using the Hugs and Smiles stamp set I stamped out the flower image with versamark ink. Once dry I used Gansai Tambi watercolors and painted in the images and background. 

I added clear droplets as waterdrops, and using a piece of cardstock from a My Mind's Eye glitter paperpack I formed the bouquet holder. The sentiment came from the Everyday Sentiment set released in August.

Crafting Desert Diva's Challenge- Watercolor

Hi crafty friends. Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using the Cute Little Fish Tank digital stamp from Crafting Desert Diva's for their August Challenge. The challenge was to use watercolor in a project, so what better to water color than a water scene.

For this project I sized it to print 4 on a letter size page and printed it with my laser printer. I then used my Ganzi Tambi watercolors to fill in the scene. The bubbles are made with clear droplets from Kat Scrappiness and I then used Clear Wink of Stella on the fish, crab and starfish once the watercolor was dry.
To complete the card I made a table top out of kraft card stock for the tank to sit on. I used a lawn fawn border die to make the curtain, and a Joy Clair clear stamp for the sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my project. I am going to look around to see what other challenges I can have fun with tomorrow.

Doodle Pantry and Challenge Yourself #84

Greetings crafty friends. I am here today with Challenge Yourself #84 - Anything Goes; I have a fun project using a digital image from the Doodle Pantry.

For my project I used the Dirt Rides file. Using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers I had fun coloring this file. I then used the Brother Scan n Cut to cut the image out as well as the sentiment. I used Glossy Accents on the lights. seat and reflectors. I used a few sequins from my friend Kat's shop. The image is affixed with dimensional squares, as is one side of the sentiment. I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed making it.
