Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "D" and use the colour Pink.
My first thought was to use one of my favourite stamp set with Dandelions, but I can't find them....grrrr. I definitely have to do a spring clean through my craft stuff soon. :)
So I decided to go for dragonflies instead. 
I took a kitchen paper towel and sprayed it with 3 different Dylusion inks (including pink :)) and when dry I glued it on a cardstock. I took a dragonfly stamp from Crafty Individual and stamped it all over the page with 3 different VersaFine inks. 
Then I used a smaller dragonfly stamp 3 times and cut it out with the matching die. Coloured them with Distress Ink, used a Gelly Roll Pen for the wings and added them to the page. I also put some rhinestones on them. 
And finally I added the word definition.

Sorry for not visiting your blogs lately, I've started a new job and that keeps me busier than I thought/hoped. I will have a look at all your great creations tomorrow though. 
Happy weekend and thanks for looking :)

Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "L". It took me some time to find a word for this, but in the end I went for "Label".

For the background I used a brayer with a Big and Juicy ink pad. Added some texture with my new Indigo Blu texture stamps. Then I stamped, cut out and inked labels from a Lili of the Valley stamp set and attached them on the background with some brads. Finally I added the word definition and fixed it with a label frame.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Lime, Turquoise & White

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Lime, Turquoise & White".

For this card I've cut out a 6 squares in 2 different sizes with my Cuttlebug. I've added Distress Inks to each square and added white glitter snowflakes to each square. After that I scored 3 lines on a white card-base and added the same Distress Inks.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Stars

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Stars".

For this card I've masked of a strip on a white square panel with Post-Its and coloured it with Distress Inks. 
I found a stars stamp from Craft Stamper magazine, which I've stamped along the top of the coloured area. I've used a clear gelly roll pen for the stars, drew a small gold border and added the ribbon and the small "Wish" charm. Then used red paper as a layer and adhered everything on a gold square card.

The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge

The Craft Barn prompts for February are RED and HEARTS.
I used Distress Inks for the background and stamped the script and hearts on it with VersaMark. After that I stamped the quote on another cardboard and cut it out. Then I glued the image of the smiling woman and the quote on the background and added another cut out heart.  Finally I used a Gelly Roll Pens for some highlights.

The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge

The new Craft Barn challenge for this year is creating a calendar. 
The prompts for January are AQUA and SNOWFLAKES.
I found a perpetual DIY calendar which I bought a couple of years ago and decided to use it as a base. 
For the background I found an old snowflake stamp, which I stamped with VersaMark all over the card stock. I embossed it with white embossing powder and applied blue Distress Inks.
I then added the main polar bear image and the icicle onto the background. Finally I used Gelly Roll Pens. 
Looking forward to this years challenge and to complete the calendar. 
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

A new challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge this time is to use the words JOURNEY and/or FRIENDSHIP in a quote or lyric.
I went for journey and a song of another favourite singer of mine: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The song is called "Into my arms"
Lyrics:
And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
  I've started by covering the whole background with black Gesso Then I've made 3 tags where I stamped the stars and added the border. I've stamped three hearts on red cardboard and added the stamped heads and the lover. On the black background I've drawn a white border and wrote the lyrics as well. Arranged the three tags and glued them on. 
The stamps I've used are from Craft Stamper mag., Paper Artsy and Crafty Individuals.
Another fun project. 
Thanks for all the nice comments on my Moon page. Very much appreciated.

Less Is More: One Layer - Starry, Starry Night
 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 197.
The Challenge this week is a One Layer card with the theme: Starry, Starry Night.
  I was experimenting with the Northern Lights technique lately and thought that would work well with some stars. So I masked up a rectangle spot on my card, stamped some stars with VersaMark and embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I added the different colours for the Northern Lights effect with Distress Inks and VersaFine. Check the technique out here.It's good fun. 
I've rubbed off the inks from the stars with a kitchen towel and added a border with a blue metallic ProMarker and the sentiment. Finally I filled in the stars with a clear Sakura gelly pen.
