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.

Jo's Scrap Shack # 165 - Color Challenge

Today we have a color challenge for you at Jo's Scrap Shack. You need to use brown, green and yellow with a chance for a bonus prize if you use a turkey.

I was given the, "Christmas Presents" digi from Robyn's Fetish to work with so I got into my way, way, way back machine and found this picture from Christmas past (1956) and created a layout.

 

That's Grandpa with the half a head, my older brother behind the monkey and me.  

 

 

 After printing out the digi from Robyn's Fetish I colored the images with colored pencils and fussy cut them out. On the present with holly I added some red jewels for the berries, the middle present I added some pearls.

The tree is from Cricut's, "Winter Woodland" cartridge and I decorated it with some charms and brads from my stash. The background paper and green paper on the tree are from Craft Smith and the snowflakes are from Plum Purdy.

Jo's Scrap Shack - #163 - Anything Goes

I'm so excited, today is my debut as part of Jo's Scrap Shack DT. This week's challenge is, "Anything Goes".

 

I had the super cute, "Winter Bingo" from The Cutting Café to work with. With so many cute digis to choose from, I decided to use as many as I could to create some, "Winter Note Cards". I will be sending them to one of my pen pals for a Christmas gift.

 

 

 I used the large size pre-colored set to create my note cards. There are 10 different images so I made 10 different note cards.

 

Here are all 10 note cards.

 

They are all tucked into the gift box I made for them. I used one of the uncolored mini images for the tag.

Inside of the box.

Jo's Scrap Shack DT Call

Today I am applying to become a member of Jo's Scrap Shack DT. If you are interested in applying, here is the link with all of the information:  Jo's Scrap Shack DT Call

For my project I went way off of the page and upcycled an old coffee pot to create a home décor item.

 

The first step was to cover the entire coffee pot with a coat of Paint Adhesion Medium.

 

 

This step insures that your paint will stick to the glass and not lift off.

 

I used a sponge to apply the paint to the pot and when the paint was dry I added a coat of Craft Twinkles which you can kind of see in this picture.

 

 



I used an ek Success punch to create the flowers and a couple of dies to cut the leaves.

 

Wish me luck with the DT call.

 





 

Autumn Wishes

Fall is in the air even here in Arizona. It has actually been chilly most of the week, we turned the ac off on Tuesday and it is still off. I want it to warm back up FAST!!

I made this card to enter into a few different challenges. And I used Fall colors on it.

 

I followed this sketch from:

 

The color inspiration came from:
