Zodiac Sagittarius

For my card today I've used the Zodiac kids Sagittarius from Craftin Desert Divas.
I'm a Sagittarius and my favorite color is purple and all it's hues like this dusty lilac; that's how I chose to color this image.
For the background I wanted to make a starry sky and maybe draw in the constellation, but I found a few different images and the were all called Sagittarius, wanting it to be correct I thought I better not attempt any.

I masked a  portion of the card and applied Distress inks for my space: blueprint Sketch, chipped sapphire and black soot.

I used water, and white and silver spray stains for my stars.

The sentiment is from Say it big, also Craftin Desert Divas.

Cross stitch gift tags

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Gift it.

For this I made a couple of tags with a tag die and the criss stitch die , both are Marianne Design, but similar ones are available across the industry.

My grid is 15x15 stitches,which was the biggest challenge, find something that fits. So after scouring the internet and Pnterest I found a coupls of Perler Bead pattern and figured those would work too.

I've used DMC embroidery thread and after completing I've lined the bahg with a white tag diecut so I can write something on it.

I mounted them togethwith foamtape.

Let it snow

This fortnight the Less is More Challenge is: One Layer cards and Holiday themed.
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Baby it's cold outside, showcasing Penny Black products.

For my card I masked off a strip at the top.
I ink blended Memento inks: Summer Sky, Bahama blue, Teal Zeal and Nautical blue inside the area. Then Splattered on white inks (Dylusions white linen and Kuretake 30 ink) Heat set it.

I've used the sentiment from the Penny Black set called Merry Delight. There are three cute images in the set as well, but it being the One Layer challenge, I thought a silhouette stamp is easier.

For the image inside the strip I've used the  Creative Expressions SYR038 Secret Woodland and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.


I might add a few silver rhinestones, but wasn't sure if that's considered a layer...so left them hehe.

AAA Cards Challenge #129: Mostly White

This challenge was chosen by DT member Asa and our sponsor is Stamplorations.

For my card I used the My Favorite Things big hugs die and diecut it from white, three times, once from hot pink and lime green.

The polar bear is also My Favorite Things and I stamped it with MFT ink onto the Crafter's Companion Neenah paper and colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers. I snuck a bit of color into his scarf, same as in the diecuts.
I then diecut the hugs from the cardbase and lined the opening from the back and placed the letters back in, stacking, white-color-white.
Adhered the polar bear with glue to the cardbase.

Penguin on a sled

For today's card I've used one of the images from the Craftin Desert Divas Chilly Time set.
I printed it on marker friendly paper, cut it out and colored it with my alcohol markers.

I thought it would look like fun if the penguin was sliding down a hill.So I placed a piece of glitter card in the corner and applied some Distress Oxides Tumbled Glass for shading.
I've used the same ink for stamping the sentiment. That is from a Craftin Desert Divas Clear stampset called Tis the season.


Applied the penguin and hill  with liquid glue.
