Scrapy Land Challenge #60 - Add Texture

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme this week is Add Texture plus a brand of die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! You could win a gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land :)

For my cards, I used papers from Maja Designs and distressed all of the edges.

Texture paste was applied through a Prima Bamboo Stencil on the bottom layer.

A Prima Parisian Lace die was placed in the corner behind an Avery Elle Dotted die. Tucked among the gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts leaves are Elizabeth Craft Curvy Leaves and Tattered Lace Meadow Leaves, along with baby's breath. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART.

A Kaisercraft Leafy Swirl die was heat embossed with Shabby White Frantage. An Avery Elle Dotted Banner die was used for the sentiment.

The tag is a Sue Wilson Pierced Tag die. Love You is from Avery Elle's A Tag for All set.

 Best Wishes is also from the same Avery Elle A Tag for All set.

The butterflies are Memory Box Isabella and Memory Box Pippi dies. They were covered with Sparkle n Sprinkle Crystal Ice and pearls.

I ran the Prima Parisian Lace die through my sadly-neglected crimper. You can see a bit of the texture here.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Favorite Tool (Tie between TH Vagabond and Heat Gun!!)
2) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Fantastic Florals

DL.ART Thankful Thursday #178 - Water and WINNER!!

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a great week!! I have a winner to announce for my 5 Year Blogaversary Giveaway, but first it's time for a Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART!! The theme is a fun one - water!! We want to see your projects that feature water in some way (you can always substitute a Thank You card for any Thankful Thursday Challenge). Use the code l01210 to get 10% off your order at DL.ART!!

For my mixed media cards, I created a hidden garden featuring a fountain filled with water. The papers are from Maja Designs. I used texture paste and a Tim Holtz Dot fade stencil, along with Shabby White Frantage and white paint splatters to cover the paper.

The bricks are an Elizabeth Crafts die and I layered them over craft foam for dimension. The big butterfly is a Memory Box Isabella die covered with Sugar Coating. The smaller butterflies are Impression Obsession Butterfly Set dies, also covered in Sugar Coating.

This shows some of the texture from the texture paste, Frantage and the Decoart Crackle Paste. The fountain is a Marianne Fountain die and sadly, this one has gone dry :(

This beautiful ribbon is Powder Blue from The Blues Bundle. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked among the flowers are Memory Box Chloe Stems, Elizabeth Crafts Curly Leaves, Poppystamps Weeping Willow Branches and Tattered Lace Meadow Leaves. The "water" in this fountain is made up of Ocean Blue microbeads.

This gorgeous ribbon is Sweet Love from The Valentine Bundle (my favorite!!). Wish Big is from My Creative Time.

1) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! Do you have any fun plans for St. Patty's Day tomorrow?? In honor of the day, the challenge this week at Scrapy Land is Think Green. We want to see your Green/St. Patty's Day projects using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from!!

For my cards, I started with papers from The Paper Studio. I used a My Favorite Things Blueprints #13 die to cut the green layer and popped up with foam tape.

A Prima La Fleur Doily was cut in heavyweight black cardstock and popped up with foam tape. A LaLa Land Stitched Scallops die stretches across the center of the card. The banner sentiment is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets die. Both of the sentiments are from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART's Halloween Bundle.

Tucked among the Wild Orchid Flowers blooms are Tattered Lace Meadow Leaves, Cheery Lynn Dandelion, and Memory Box Fresh Foilage dies. The butterflies are Memory Box Isabella Butterfly and Memory Box Pippi Butterfly  and they are covered with Sparkle N Sprikle Crystal Ice.
