Merry Christmas!

Hello hello and happy Wednesday!

Can you believe that Christmas is just 11 days away?  Oh my goodness...  I just started Xmas shopping, LOL!

Anyways, It's challenge time over at the 7 Kids College Fund blog.  I'm sharing a card using the adorable Gorjuss Girl Oops-A-Daisy stamps from 7 Kids College Fund store.  I'm totally obsessed with them.  I have been collecting them for a while, and now the store actually sells them, 

I'm super excited!  

For my project, I decided to decorate a Very Merry Christmas kraft gift box from Wycinanka.  I started by adhering some Tim Holtz tissue tape on the box with some matte medium.  Then I paint the kraft box with gesso, then with Prima Art Alchemy Acrylic Palint in Metallique light patina.  Then I added hint of purple by using Distress Crayon in Seedless Preserve.  I also added some fun details with Wycinanka chipboards (which decorated with stickers and Nuvo Crystal Drop in white) and some snowflakes.  For the Gorjuss Girl, I colored her with Copic Markers. 

So, why not and come join the FUN for a chance to WIN SOME GOODIES!

Can't wait to see your creations!

November Challenge over at the 7 Kids College Fund Blog!

Hello hello and happy Thursday!

Over at the 7 Kids College Fund blog, there is a new challenge starting today!

And I'm sharing my tag.  I love making tags and always cool to get my fingers all inky, haha!

For my tag, I started by using Tim Holtz concerto stencil and applied with picket fence (which will create a little bit of dimension), then allow dry.  I added some colors by using distress ink pad in gathered twigs, fossilized amber, forest moss, stormy sky, and chipped sapphire.  

I also added the Holiday Lamppost from Tim Holtz Alternations, I stained it with ground espresso distress stains.  I added some details by stamping with Stampers Anonymous Birch and Pine cling stamps (but unfortunately it was hard to see).  I also used distress glitter in peeled paint and Nuvo crystal drop on the Xmas weath. 

I can't help it to not add a victorian Carolers and I did just that.  I colored her by using distress color stains in fried brick, then I used the mini Tim Holtz stencil and applied the details with a black boot blending tools..  

That's from me today!  Can't wait to see what you create!
