Wishing Joy

I am please to announce that I have been chosen for the design team at
Scrap From Your Heart. 

This is a monthly challenge and this month the theme is to use DIES !! 

For my card I used the new die and stamp set from My Favorite Things .. JOY.  I also used the circle and frame shaker die from MFT.

I started with white cs and I smudged various distress and oxide inks in Victorian Velvet, Milled Lavender, Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves. I then added white acrylic paint splatters on top of the ink.
With the die set I double cut the JOY out of dark purple cs as well as the frame for the shaker. I stacked the letters to give them height on the card.   I then cut the circle in the center of the white inked front panel.  I inserted the shaker piece and added purple and lavender sequin pieces.  I then backed that with a different shade of purple cs.
Using the coordinating stamp set I stamped the sentiment on the same color cs that I used to back the cut circle with Seedless Preserved distress ink and then trimmed it down and cut the flag ends.
I wrapped white satin ribbon around the bottom and scattered some lavender and white sequins .  All of this was added  to a dark purple side fold base.

I hope you have fun playing along with us.  I wish you luck in the challenge.

As You Like It - Favorite Season and WHY - I love the Fall and everything about the Fall. Here in Virginia we have what is called Indian Summer where you still have the summer weather but without the intensity of the humidity.  I love Virginia's Color Change it is absolutely beautiful. I love all things Halloween (my house is glowing at night with witchcicles dangling from the gutters, ghosts and goblins and tomb stones and skeletons galore as we speak) It's Fall y'all.

Hello everyone
I have an amazing challenge for you from
The Crafters Cafe Challenge.

This challenge the theme is Black & White and one other color.

The three sponsors for this challenge are
Scribbles Designs
Cute as a Button

For my card, I used a digi stamp from Cute as a Button, Ursula.  My intent was to just use the purple but I felt the eels needed their show.  I used both color pencils and markers on the image.
The printed paper is from DCWV and is all glitter.
The image was just down and framed with black card stock and edged in hickory smoke distress ink.  Ursula was then bathed in Wink of Stella to give her as much glitter and shine as the background paper.
I added a white satin ribbon and a black glitter acrylic dot to the corner.
All of this added to a black top fold cs base.
