Fabrika Fantasy Challenge #10 - For the Men/Boys

Today starts a new challenge over at Fabrika Fantasy. This month's theme is, "For the Men/Boys". I choose, "Tommy's Fantasy Pet" to work with.

 

After printing my image onto a piece of 4 x 6 white cardstock I used water color pencils to color it. Then I layered some scraps of blue and brown onto a white cardstock base and added a ribbon. I added some copper Stickles to his shirt and a few wooden buttons from my stash.

 

Please come and join in the FUN!!!

Fabrika Fantasy May New Releases

Today is new release day at Fabrika Fantasy. First I had, "Little Tiger" to work with.

After coloring this cutie  with watercolor pencils I added some jewels and layered the image onto a piece of Kraft paper I had embossed with a HoneyComb embossing folder then I added the twine at the top.

Then I got, "Small Child" to play with.

 

I used watercolor pencils to color him then inked the edges and layered the image onto a piece of a blue scrap I had on hand.

I found the tutorial for this mini book on youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBNs3ZmAv98&t=515s
It was pretty fast to put together.

This would make a great Mother's Day gift for a new mother to add pics of her little one into and carry in her purse so she can brag about her little guy.

Please come on by and play along with this month's monochrome challenge: http://fabrikafantasydigis.blogspot.com/2017/05/challenge-9-monochrome.html
 

3 - 2 - 1 Challenge Jo's Scrap Shack #167

 It is time for a 3-2-1 Challenge over at Jo's Scrap Shack. You have to use 3 Colors, 2 Embellishments and 1 Technique on your project.

I had this beautiful wreath image from this week's sponsor, Robyn's Fetish to work with.

 

This week's prize is 3 images from Robyn's Fetish. 

 

 

My 3 colors are: white, red and green

2 embellishments: Stickles (red berries on wreath) and Glazed Dimensions (of the ribbon

1 technique was to take some transparent texture paste, color it with some green distress ink and apply to edge of my card with a stencil.

 

I used watercolor pencils to color the image, I used 3 different greens and then blended them together with a paint brush and some water. Then I fussy cut the wreath out and added the Stickles and Glazed Dimensions.

 

The sentiment is a stamp from my stash, stamped on white, layered onto red and adhered to the card face with foam pads. The wreath is also adhered with foam pads. I used some Craft Smith paper for the card base.

Muse Challenge #181

I have finally gotten back into the crafting mood after our seemingly never ending trip. It actually took me a couple of weeks to fully recover, riding the bike in all of the heat and humidity really took a toll on this old lady.

Anyhow...back to my card. Or should I say cards? I made this for the: Muse Challenge #181  this is a CASE challenge, here is the original card:



I really liked everything about this card when I saw it, especially the colors and use of washi tape which I usually have a hard time trying to work it into my projects.

And now my cards:

 



I made 2 cards using slightly different processes on the butterflies. The first one I embossed the butterfly then used watercolor pencils to color it and a watercolor brush to blend the colors. The 2nd one I stamped, used the same watercolor pencils on them and blended with a regular paint brush then I  added some Glazed Dimensions on a few parts of the butterfly to add a bit of shine.

The green strips are washi tape and the flower border is from a set of Close to my Heart border stamps I won on a blog hop a couple of years ago.

The sentiment on the first card is stamped with blue ink and the 2nd card was stamped with green ink.

I am entering this card into this challenge:
