Little Scrap Pieces - Anything Goes!!

Happy Friday!! Can you believe another weekend is upon us already?? This year is going to fly by as fast as the last one. I hope you have fun plans :) Mine are to try to stay warm...it's so chilly outside!!  It's time for another Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces!! This week it's a fun and easy one...Anything Goes!!

The paper for my card is from My Mind's Eye Reunion paper stack. The base is a Spellbinders Grand Rectangle, and the next two layers are Spellbinders Matting Basics A and B. The medallion was created with a Spellbinders Labels 20, with Spellbinders Moroccan Accents Dies on the sides. A Spellbinders Classics Ovals Large was pop-dotted over a Big Scalloped Oval Large die.  The gorgeous mermaid stamp is from Paper Wings Productions...isn't she beautiful??!! She is from the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set. Her hair was colored with Tim Holtz Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Markers, the tail with Broken China and Weathered Wood. The edges of the oval were lightly inked with Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink. The gems are from Recollections.

The tag is a Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tag and Accents die. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from our amazing LSP hostess, Karen :) The button is from my dear friend Sonia, and the hemp twine is from Michales. The sentiment reminds me of my sweet friend Sabrina of Sabriolet Designs, She has this sentiment on her blog and I have always loved it. I was excited to see it on the Sea Melange Cling Stamp Set from Paper Wings Productions :)

Getting Cricky Design Team Post - Thankful

Happy Friday!! Another weekend is upon us, and another week where I have no idea where the days went...they are flying by!! It's my turn to post a design team project at Getting Cricky, and I have a Thanksgiving card to share with you.

For my Thankful card, I used a couple of different inking techniques. The base of the card is kraft stock, followed by Canvas Corp heavyweight white cardstock. Another piece of heavyweight white cardstock was cut with a Spellbinders Grand Rectangle. It was sprayed with Mister Huey's Color Mists in Overdue, Pumpkin Spice and Estate Green. It was then misted with water to merge the colors together, and then dried with a heat gun. Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist in Iridescent Gold was spritzed on next to give it a sparkly sheen. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I tried to get a close-up of the Glimmer Mist shimmer. It is really pretty in person.

A Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle was cut from heavyweight white cardstock and then inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint while it was still in the die so that the edges stayed white. It was then misted with Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist in Peach Delight. The leaf is a Spellbinders Foliage die, inked with the same Distress Inks and spritzed with Glimmer Mist in Iridescent Gold. It was attached with foam tape for dimension. The burlap is from Joann Fabric, the twine and button from my stash. "Thankful" is from K Andrew Designs Fall-O-Ween stamp set. I just checked, and unfortunately this set is sold out, but there are still a few sets left that are on clearance at 60%...click HERE to get yours before they are gone forever!!
