Distress Addict? yes I think that applies to me very much.
Love the stuff, for breakfast, lunch...erhm crafting, watercolouring lol..
Used the Lawn Fawn Critters from the past to make a shaker card where the egg stamp and a few seed beads are the shaker materials.
Distress inks: cracked pistachio and Peacock feathers, straight from the refill bottle instead of the pad to sponge the background.
Distress spray stain in brushed pewter and Dylusions white, and Colour unlimited for the blue splatters.
Colored the eggs and Dinosaurs with Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

I'm not sure if monsters qualify as animals, but I feel they do.
Yesterday I saw a tweet from Mama Elephant's ( I think, I can;t find it anymore, Was about the CHA) new stamp Photo bomb, which inspired this card, also Nicole Magourk has just posted a video similar, but I was already making this card then, I'm sorry if it feels like I pinched her idea, I didn't.
The monsters are from Lawn Fawn monster mash and I used Peerless watercolors to color the "Polaroid".
I've cut a piece of white cardstock to size and then diecut a square from the middle, I don't have a polaroid or instagram die.
I've toned down the party patterned paper with vellum onto which I stamped the Sentiment; which is a partially stamped sentiment from Kaisercraft blue bay set, stamped with Staz-on. I've added the ! mrk with a black Sharpie.
Two googly eyes, because monsters need googly eyes...lol.
A few confetti like, faux, enamel dots and Wink of Stella on the girl monsters.

The second Sparkle and shine challenge is based on the sketch below.
I haven't made a shaker card since I started participating in all these CAS challenges, so the time was ripe..lol.
Love making shaker cards and for a while they seemed to be all I was making, Burning rubber, oh excuse me foam like there was no tomorrow...ha!
I'm guessing the circle in the sketch is supposed to be the focal point, I used the sequins for that instead of a stamp or image.
I sues a floral patterned paper, some shimmery steelblue cardstock, loads of sequins, some of them Pretty Pink Posh and a matching ribbon.

This week's Wednesday Challenge is: things that fly.
I made this card this afternoon, when I saw the challenged posted.
I'm quite taken by this green and teal combo (cracked pistachio and peacock feathers) from Distress inks, I also used something similar for the Monday challenge, so now I feel a bit quilty and am in the proces of making another, glossy accents is drying as I type, so i'll upload it shortly.
The only thing Amercian crafts I have is glitter tape, which didn't make sense and double sided adhesive which you can't see.
I'm wanting to get the stampset with the mason jar, but haven't managed to order it yet :-(

B as in blue, button, baby boy, didn't take me long to come up with the idea, the execution took longer.
I've inked Neenah solar white cardstock in different blue tones with Distress inks.
I've die cut the word baby with Lawn Fawn Finley's ABC, used rhinestones for shimmer, made a few flat dots with the same blue inks and added a blue button with some embroidery silk.

I used Distress inks on the panel for the yelloa (mustard seeds) and green (mowed lawn) I splattered it with water for some speckles.
I die cut Hoera from white yellow and green card stock and stuck them on top of each other.
I made flat enamel dots but punching circles out of cardstock and covering them with glossy accents to resemble confetti.
I'm anticpitaing a lot of yellow flowers in this challenge and I wanted to stay away from that. A Dutch soccer club from The Hague (ADO) had yellow and green as their colours, so this might be a good birthday card for a soccer fan

Thanks to Sandy Allnock's Youtube video I found another challenge I just had to take part to.
I had really no idea there were this many out there, until I started participating in a few and visiting fellow cardmakers' blogs.
Anyway this Friday Mash up #200 is all about Black and white and bling, based on challenge #71, #60 Masculine card, #6 monochromatic, #89 heat embossing, #119 anyshape with a banner, #166 Hi or hello (ahoy) with use of sequins, #175 shaker card, #178 use vellum,
I made a shaker card out of this skull and bones die from Provo Craft.
I used clear seedbeads and silver sequins in two sizes for the shaker material.
And the sentiment is made with Eline's alphabet clearstamps from Marianne design.
I've heat embossed it in white on a piece of Vellum onto which I added some rhinestones to hide the gluedots.
