Pumpkin Stack

Hello --It's an  ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE at Brown Sugar Challenge our sponsor this month is

For my card, I am using the image, Stacked Pumpkins.  I used markers and a water brush on the pumpkins.  For the card front, I blended Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Fired Brick, Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Soot across the front.
Out of black card stock I cut using Lawn Fawn: the fence, using Penny Black: the tree and using MFTs: the stitched flag.  The sentiment was stamped in white embossing powder and a holiday stamp by Avery Elle.  The leaves were cut with a Spellbinders die 'foliage' out of scrap blended with Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint.  All set on a black cs front and then again on a black cs side fold base.  Spooooooky.

I hope you have fun playing along with this month's challenge, remember, it's anything goes.

Thinking of you

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this month is  Father's Day or Masculine and our sponsor this week is SHOP

My card is a stretch for the theme but the image is from Mari Ko Creations.   I used water colors for the flower and leaves and blended the colors.  For the background of the image,  I used grey and blue colored pencils and a blender stick and a bit of Vaseline .   The butterfly is cut using a My Favorite Things die out of designer patterned paper by DCW that is iridescent.   I mounted that onto a blue paint chip from the local hardware store and then onto patterned paper from Recollections.  All of that mounted onto a pale blue side fold cs base.  I added a couple of paper flowers in the corner to fill that space.

I hope you have fun playing along in the challenge.  I wish you the best of luck.

Have a great crafting day !

A Mother's Love ............

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this month is  Mother's Day or Pearls  and our sponsor this week is SHOP

For my card, I worked the image from Crafty Sentiments with both colored pencils and markers and a bit of a 'wink of stella' in all of the hearts.   I cut the circle with a circle die from a piece of baby blue card stock and then ran that through my machine with a Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  With another piece of light blue card stock, I cut it down to fit along the edge and then trimmed it with a Martha Steward scallop and dot edge punch.  Next, a piece of white gross-grain ribbon tied on the side and all mounted onto yet another shade of blue card stock.  Some pretty paper flowers in the corner and it's all set to go.
I hope you'll give the challenge a try and I want to wish you luck in the prize.

March Fairy

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is  Spring or Easter and our sponsor this week is Etsy SHOP: https://www.etsy.com/it/shop/gjzcck

For this pretty stamp I used colored pencils on her.  I then started on the front. I smudged and blended Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean, Peeled Paint and Broken China in both distress and oxide inks. I stamped on top of that with a background stamp by Fiskers - using Broken China, Peeled Paint and Wilted Violet oxide.   I used a postage stamp edge die cut on it from Spellbinders.  I framed the image with blue card stock - rounded the top corners and then mounted it on the smudged die front.  The banner was stamped with a set from Fiskars using VersaMark and gold embossing powder.  I found some gold mylar stickers in my stash and used two long swirls along the one side and the two squared hearts on the flag.  Some Nuvo drops in the corners and it's complete.
I hope you decided to join us on this challenge and I wish you luck as well.
Have a great crafting day.

Wild Thing

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is  Valentine's Day and our sponsor this week is

Isn't she a cutie ... I printed the stamp on white card stock and colored her with pencils.  The sentiment is on a piece of pink card stock that I trimmed the ends to banner it.  Out of the same pink card stock, I hand punched a few small hearts.
I had a piece of leftover pink butterfly background designer paper from I think ... Mambi ???  It's been in my scrap box forever.
I mounted these all up together and tacked the small hearts along the side.  I added a small sequin in the corner of the hearts and then filled the sequin with glossy accents.
Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have fun playing along.

Happy New Year

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is  Birthday Celebrations and our sponsor this week is Store

This was fun ... and I used a bunch of materials as well.  I started with the image on white cs.  I used both color pencils and markers to color the graphics.  I used glue and lime green glitter to create the center cabochon on her hat.  I then used lime green Nuvo Drops around the edge of the cabochon to give it some dimension.  Silver Stickles on the posts of her earrings and then Glossy Accents on the green dangle stars.   I then added more Nuvo Drops on the sentiment tag and edged that with Twisted Citron distressed ink.   That was all mounted onto designer glossy paper by DCW and then onto a green card base. 

Happy Happy New Year to all.

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is  Anything Goes and our sponsor this week is Store

She is adorable ... I masked her off and then blended Blue Print Sketch, Cracked Pistachio, and Festive Berries  distress inks across the paper.  Still masked, I then used a stencil and added Spiced Marmalade Oxide.  I used color pencils to color her in.  I cut her to fit and then off set it so that I could add the sentiment which was stamped with a Hampton Arts stamp and white embossing powder. I wrapped a blue satin ribbon and bow around the graphic and mounted it on a piece of black cs to frame it.   That whole piece was adhered to teal green top fold cs base.  A few blue sequins to a tiny bit of bling to the fun and there you have it.

Wee little sailor ....

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is  Use Layers and our sponsor this week is Store

Such cute little guy.  I used colored pencils for the image.  I then layered up all of the frames ... I cut the black frame using my cricut and the Stand and Salute Cartridge for the Anchor Frame then mounting that on red and then the light blue.  Using faux stitching throughout with a white gel pen.  The large anchor I also cut from the same cartridge and then covered it in glossy accents to give it great look and then lifted it off of the card with dimensional squares.
