Scrapy Land Challenge #80 ~ Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are getting ready for the holidays...they're almost here!! I'm taking a short blog break, so this is a scheduled post. It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme as always is Anything Goes Plus a Brand of Die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from. You could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

Several members of the design team participated in a Christmas card exchange and I drew my dear sweet, long-time friend Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion!! I created this card / Christmas ornament for Sherrie using papers from Maja Designs.

I layered Sizzex Tim Holtz Tree Line dies in the background. The poinsettias are Sizzix Pillow Box Poinsettia dies, with stamens from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under the flowers are Impression Obsession Pine Branches and Impression Obsession Pine Sprigs.

A Memory Box Snowflake Swell die was added to the bottom half of the card. The sentiment is from Altenew and it was stamped on a Sue Wilson Pierced Flag die. I added Prills for texture.

A Memory Box Snowflake Wire was adhered over the lace. The base of the ornament is a Spellbinders Star die. Memory Box Star of Wonder dies were covered with glitter and added to both the card and ornament.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

1) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes

Scrapy Land Blog Challenge #30 - Monochromatic

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week :) It's time for another fun challenge at Scrapy Land!! The theme this challenge is Monochromatic plus a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from.

For my cards, I went totally monochromatic with all white for a winter wonderland scene. This also gave me a chance to use some of the tree dies I've been collecting...I have a slight obsession with tree dies :)

I started with a Die-Namites Winter Forest die in the back and popped it up with foam tape for dimension. Each successive layer is popped up with foam tape. The next layer is a Memory Box Evergreen Landscape die, and over that is a Memory Box Country Landscape die. I interspersed some Impression Obsession Fir Trees among the layers.

The deer family are Impression Obsession Deer Trio dies. Joy is from Memory Box. It was covered with sugar coating for sparkle. The stars are Memory Box Star of Wonder dies, and they were covered with sugar coating as well.

Mixed Media Christmas Ornaments

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! They're just flying by, aren't they? Christmas will truly be here before we know it. I should be working on Christmas cards but instead, I have a couple of mixed media ornaments to share with you today :)

I picked up the chipboard ornaments for this project from Hobby Lobby.

I covered this one with Golden Crackle Paste in a thick layer. Once it dried and cracked, I covered it with red acrylic paint, waited a few minutes and then wiped the paint off so that it just filled the cracks. The snowflake on the bottom is a Memory Box Alipine Snowflake die and it was covered with Stampendous Shabby White Embossing Enamel.

I cut the Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight die in grungeboard and painted him with brown acrylic paint. Once he dried, I covered him with Deco Art Crackle Glaze. Once the cracks appeared, I used Viva Inka Metallic Gold to highlight the cracks. The Tim Holtz Pine Trees were covered with Stampendous Chunky White Deep Impression Embossing Enamel.

The poinsettia was cut from a Spellbinders Poinsettia die. Every other layer was embossed with Shabby White Embossing Enamel. The berries in the center are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This ornament was first covered with black gesso and then red acrylic paint. Deco Art Crackle Glaze was applied all over and once it dried, white acrylic paint was used to bring out the cracks.

The pine branches are Impression Obsession Pine Branch dies. They were covered with Chunky White Deep Impression Embossing Enamel and with Liquitex Glass Beads. Texture Paste was applied through a Tim Holtz Dot Fade stencil. Joy is a Memory Box die and it was covered with the Shabby White Embossing Enamel.

I'm entering these in the following challenges:

3) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
