Tuesday Color Challenge at the Outlawz

Hey everyone!  It is time for another fun filled week with the

Color Challenge for the Outlawz

Color Challenge is so excited to have as our sponsor for the month of

November

Sweet Pea Stamps

We have sadly learnt that Sweet Pea Stamps will cease to trade on November 25th so our winner will get 4 of the digis we have used!

This week it is my turn to host the challenge and I have chosen some fall colors  with

the use of a punch or punches also on your project.

The image I used will be available for this months digis to pick from.

I misplaced my leaf punch and went with the small flower on top 

of my twine as my punch.  And because I couldn't locate that darn

punch, I decided to add my leaf stamp onto the background by

embossing with holographic embossing powder

I colored the image with prismacolor pencils.

We would love for you to join us over at the Tuesday Color Challenge.

If you aren't already a member, just request to join and you can join us.

Simple as that.  Come check out all our challenges.

Peek a Boo Tags

Christmas is coming and time to think about labeling those presents.

Today I have for you a peek a boo tag embellished with

Sherri Baldy My Besties SVGs.

I started with a standard tag, whatever shape you like, and cut a window for

viewing of the message inside.

To add some embellies, I used Ginderbread man and stocking set, bear mittens,

and the lollipop SVGs.

A fun and easy project to help you get ready for the Holiday Season.

Come check out all of the SVGs available. New ones are always being added.

Give Thanks

Hey Everyone!!!  The colder weather has begun and

Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

Today I have for you a little note card with SVGs from

Sherri Baldy My Besties.

The SVGs I used for this is the pumpkin border set and the 

layered scalloped set.

I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" card base.

I matted my sentiment onto Recollections Tomato cardstock

and  stamped leaves with embossing ink and used  a

holographic embossing powder.  It adds the leaves in a very

subtle way and leaves a very nice effect.

I took the layer scalloped border and sized to match my mat along with

the pumpkin border and cut with my Cricut Explore.

I used the Recollections coordinating paper pack Tomato for the scallops.

The pumpkins are cut from DCWV Lace & Line Stack pad.

There are many more wonderful SVGs available at

MyBestiesShop.com

Come check them all out!

Happy Crafting

Winter Woodland Boy

Hey everyone!  Today I have for you a little boy that just called out for

the woodland theme.  It is transitioning into colder weather here and

this is how I see him.

I am using a Sherri Baldy My Besties boy digi.

This is img705.

How did I put it all together.

I started with 6 x 6 card base and cut my first mat at 5.75" and topped with

a slightly smaller christmas patterned paper.  The next mat size is 4.5" topped

with another christmas patterned paper cut slightly smaller.

I added a few spruce trees onto the first layer and turned them in various

directions until I came up with a placement that I liked.  I embossed all the spruce

trees with a swiss dots embossing folder and used

 Frantage embossing enamel in Shabby White.

I embossed white cardstock with Tim Holtz border embossing folder of icicles and

cut out and placed at the top of the first layer.

I took my second layer and placed it in a position I liked to still show

some of the spruces.

I placed my boy down with foam dots.

I placed another spruce tree with foam dots over the second layer and one of the

spruce trees.

I then took my acorn and leaf clusters and added them.  They are from Spellbinders.

The little deer is a SVG from Sherri Baldy My Besties.  These SVGs are easily

done and work with all die cuts.

I just used the one deer.

Check out the SVGs available HERE

I stamped my sentiment and used a oval Spellbinders die to cut out.

His little jacket I colored to resemble my sons Carhart coat and his

pants as bluejeans.  Just what I would picture a boy wearing.

I took a prismacolor grey pencil in 50% and 30% to make his

trim look like fur.

Thank you for visiting!!

My Besties 3D & More Challenge Guest DT

Hey everyone!!

I am excited to share with you a project I made as a

Guest DT for My Besties 3D & More Challenge.

I am the guest DT for November Challenge #17

Anything Goes with a Bestie.

I made a mixed media 5" x 7" canvas with img146 Prim-A-Dona and

Sherri Baldy Designer Paper in Butterfly Dreams.

This was a fun project that I enjoyed doing.  Picking all the bits and pieces

and just playing around.

For this project I have used the following supplies:

5" x 7" canvas

Faber Castell Gesso

Ranger texture paste

Stencil- Tim Holtz burlap

Distress Inks-various colors

Stampendous Bubble Gum ink pad

Airdry clay

Mold for embellishments

Frantage embossing enamels

Sherri Baldy Designer download papers in Butterfly Dreams

lace

paper roses

various embellishments cut with a Cricut

black enamel small dots

I started with printing my Butterfly Dreams paper on regular thin paper.

I took various ripped pieces and with the gesso applied to the canvas randomly.

Once dry, I took my stencil and texture paste and added randomly to the canvas

and used a heat gun to dry.  You could even place texture paste down and
apply a texture with fabric or any other items you have laying around.

I took the lace and chipboard elements and applied with gesso onto

the canvas.

Let it dry!!!!!

I took distress inks and the bubble gum ink and applied once again

randomly to the canvas .

                                  

I added the Frantage embossing enamel to areas on the canvas

and to the various embellishments

 

I mounted My Besties with foam pop dots and all my embellies with glue dots.

I have provided for you my copic choices for coloring her.

I did her in a monochromatic color tone with pops of pink.

Hope that you will come on over and join us in this months

challenge.

Thanks for having a look!!
