Howdy Everyone!
How is your week going so far? I bet many of you parents are THRILLED that the kiddos are back in school, right? ;) The kids? Probably not. :)
Well, today I am stopping by to share my project for the new challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges. The new challenge is to use a technique (i.e. paper piecing, stamping, distressing, etc.) on a card, layout, canvas, mini album, or "off the page" creation.
Let's begin. :D
This is quite a powerful little quote.
The prominent technique I used was watercoloring with distress markers. I also did some stitching, and light distressing with an ink applicator. I added glossy accents over her boots, but it's hard to tell.
(Supplies: cardstock; pattern paper- My Mind's Eye; distress markers; distress ink in Antique Linen- Tim Holtz; paint brush; water; black ink- Memento; sewing machine; sequins; glossy accents; stamps- Unity Stamp Co.)
So now I challenge you to go get crafty and then link up your creation here. And while you're there, check out the awesome creations by my DT partners.

Well, dear friends, thank you for stopping by. I truly appreciate your visit! :D

Hello Friends!
I know the weekend seems loooong gone, even though it's only Tuesday. At any rate, I hope you enjoyed it. I know that my blog has been pretty quiet this summer due to mini vacations and many other things. But another reason for the quietness is due to a new job!! It has been a whirlwind lately with interviews, meetings and lots of running around to meet requirements. I am truly blessed to have this job, but since it's a brand new arena for me, I need to devote a bit of extra time to it.
I say all this to let you know that even though it's quiet, I will pop in from time to time. Hopefully, once I've learned the ropes and settled in, I'll be posting more often. Ok, enough jabbering. ;) Let's get to the craftiness.
I recently realized that 99% of my creations are girly, so I decided to make a "boyish" birthday card. This card is inspired by one of Mendi Yoshikawa cards. Love her bright, fun style!
I used glossy accents on certain parts of the ice-cream, and I love how it looks like it's melting.
(Supplies: cardstock; circle punch; stamps- Papertrey Ink & Imaginisce; pattern paper- stash; glossy accents; black ink)
I wanted to add sequins, but I figured they weren't "boyish" enough. :) Well, dear friends, I wish you a great day and I appreciate your visit.
Happy Crafting,
Angie
