Scrapy Land Challenge #47 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! The first Wednesday of the month means a new Anything Goes challenge at Scrapy Land. All we ask is that you use a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from. You could win a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

I have a couple of celebrate cards to share with you today that I actually created for my niece's birthday a couple of months ago. I made the purple card for her and for some reason, this is the only picture I took of it. Don't know what I was thinking :/

The papers are from Craft and You's Lavender Garden stack. Love these papers!! Texture paste was added through a Tim Holtz Speckles stencil on the background.

The doily is a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily. The banner is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets One die. Tucked among the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are Memory Box Chloe Stems, Cheery Lynn Dandelion and Cheery Lynn Ivy Corner Flourish.

A LaLa Land Stitched Scallops die was added along the side. The fence is an Impression Obsession Beach Fence. The beautiful butterfly is from Aurelie and it was coated with Sparkle N Sprinkle Crystal Ice. Shabby White Frantage was added for a bit more texture. Spellbinders Curved Borders 2 was used on the inside.

DL.ART August Linky Challenge

Happy August!! Wow, where are the days going?? A new month means a new month-long linky party at DL.ART. As always, the monthly challenges are Anything Goes. If you use the code l01210, you'll get 10% off your purchase at DL.ART.

I was dreaming of an ocean vacation when I created these cards :) The papers are from an old K&Company Happy Trails stack. I used a Tim Holtz Bubbles stencil and Texture paste to add a bit of dimension to the background.

The next layer is a piece of corrugated cardboard from DCWV's Corrugated Neutrals stack over some cheesecloth to represent netting.

The tree is from LaLa Land. I cut the fronds twice for dimension. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. This gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Peach from the 2016 Spring Bundle.

This beautiful crinkle ribbon is Green Hue from Mermaid's Tale Third Edition. The My Creative Stitched Leaves dies and Memory Box Chloe Stems were cut in white burlap. In order for the burlap to not fray, I covered the back with clear packaging tape. The waves are a Make a Splash die from My Creative Time. The banner is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklet 1 die. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business).

The Adirondack Chair is from Die-Versions. I wanted it to have a weathered, by-the-sea look, so I cut it in grungeboard and then covered it in beige acrylic paint. Using the Andy Skinner method, after it dried, I coated it with DecoArt Weathered Wood and then DecoArt Crackle Paste. Once it had cracked and dried, I rubbed DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream in Raw Umber to highlight the cracks.

I'm linking this up with the following challenges:

1) Frilly & Funky - By the Sea
2) Little Scrap Pieces - Show if Off Saturday
3) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
4) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge -Anything Goes

Now it's your turn. Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge. Then link up your Anything Goes projects. I can't wait to see what you create :)

Waving Hello!!

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are having a wonderful last weekend in July!! How is that even possible?? Good grief, the days are flying by so fast :/ I have a fun summery card to share with you today :)

Isn't the mermaid adorable??!! My dear, sweet friend Dee of Dee B's sent me the most adorable card:

It's so sweet!! I just love it!! She also sent me these awesome Lawn Fawn stamps:

I had to make a card with them so I CASE'd Dee's fabulous card!! Thank you again, Dee!! I love them so much!! I wanted my mermaid to move like her card, so I purchased the Lawn Fawn Slide On Over dies.

The clouds were created with a Poppystamps Puffy Cloud Border die and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The adorable Plane With Banner is an Impression Obsession die. The sailboat and seagulls are Die-Versions Sail Away stamps and dies.

The ocean was created with Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink and a Tattered Lace Ride the Waves die. The seaweed, fishies, mermaid and dolphin are from Lawn Fawn. I learned the hard way that I couldn't have too much dimension or the mermaid and dolphin wouldn't slide easily.

Here you can kinda see how she moves. I should've taken a short video to show you. So fun to play with :) Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful weekend :)

For my cards, I used papers from Wild Rose Studio's Antique Library stack. All of the edges were inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The white layer was stamped with a Justrite Stamps Crackle Background die. The corrugated cardboard is from DCWV.

The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Tea Stain from the Coffee House Bundle #3. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the leaves are Sue Wilson Mosiac Leaves dies.

The tags are Sue Wilson Pierced Tags dies, tied with DL.ART White Twine. The butterfly is a Fiskars punch and it was covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle Crystal Ice glitter.

The top tag pulls out to reveal the sentiment. This one is from My Creative Time.
