* Vera Lane Studio: Chosen Sister

 

Hello

It's my DT day at Vera Lane Studio and today we have a new digi release called 

Chosen Sister. 

I made a couple of postcards using both images and sentiments in this lovely set:

The images were, as usual, coloured with Copics. The emboss resist backgrounds are watercolored with puddles of Elements dye inks and salt. I added some stamping and some white splatters as well as black ink around the edges. The characters were fussy cut and popped on torn strips washi tape. I like to cut the sentiments into strips too.

All stamps are from AALL & Create.

Chosen Sister

That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

* Path of Positivity: Have I Toad You

 Hello!

Today is the midway point of the March Path of Positivity challenge.

The challenge lasts for the month of March.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 

Music is Good for the Soul.

Prizes this month include:

• Store Voucher from Lunagirl Images, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants. 
• ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Our optional theme this month is Music is Good for the Soul.

So, this month we want you to create a project INSPIRED BY MUSIC (song title, lyrics, instrument, musical manuscript etc). Music is good for the soul. It is one of the ways to build bridges and bring people together. It influences us in different ways - think about how patriotic songs make you feel, then love songs, Christmas music, classical music, country music, pop music ....

Please remember in order to be eligible for the prizes your project must be positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way. 

Here is my project:

I really love this guitar playing frog called Carl Fretted from Scribbles Designs. I coloured him with markers and fussy cut him, placing him on a home made background. 

Heat embossed stamping ( #385 Scripted Squares from AALL & Create) provides a resist for Distress Oxides with a little stamping around the edges (#375 Reverse Squares from AALL & Create).  I added strips of card and a water coloured, waterlily flower for Carl's backdrop. My sentiment is a play on words with a song title. Changing the words to songs is something that we, as a family, often do and it makes us laugh. We sing songs out loud, but don't know all the words, and so we make them up - it's so funny! Peter Kay does a sketch about this here, but if you are easily offended then don't watch as some are rather rude!

Music and laughter are definitely good for the soul.

Many thanks to Lunagirl Images this month's guest sponsor,

and to Scribbles Designs as the ongoing sponsor of the challenge


We would love to see your creations! 
Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!

Crafts Galore Encore: Kimono Girl

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing my DT project for the April challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The challenge is always Anything Goes and this month we are sponsored by Star Stampz who are offering 3 digis to the winner.

Here is the card I made:

I used a digi called Kimono Portrait and coloured it with Copics. I used an oval die to cut it out and lightly inked the background with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

I made the background using a Tim Holtz background stamp which I heat embossed in white, then smooshed the card in Picked Raspberry distress ink and water. I added two strips of dotty pink organza ribbon across the centre of the card.

I made a cherry blossom branch from a Britannia die and added white and pink blossoms for a more realistic look.

And finally I made some Heartfelt Creation Majestic blooms from inked card - I added pale yellow stamen to the centres and arranged them with some die cut foliage.

Many thanks to Sarah at Star Stampz for sponsoring this challenge. 

I hope you'll pop to over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs. 

We'd love to see your creations. 

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
