HIMCR #215 - Favorite Team Colors

HIMCR # 215 - Favorite Team Colors

The sponsor is Pickled Potpourri!

 

The giveaway is a $7 Gift Certificate to Pickled Potpourri!

 

I am not a football fan, but I LOVE hockey and my favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings who's colors are: red & white at home, white & red away from home with a bit of black thrown in.

 

The images are all from Pickled Potpourri's, "Under the Sea" set of digi stamps.

 

The underwater scene is gelato's on watercolor paper with a bit of glitter paint on the sandy part and starfish. It is hard to see the glitter paint but it is there.

 

 



After coloring the background, (I won't lie, this is my second background the first one was not the correct size for the box because I didn't plan this out very well, I didn't decided on the shadow box idea until after I had completed the first background), I trimmed it a bit to fit the box.

The box is from the Silhouette store and cut with my Cameo, there were other pieces for the original shadow box but all I really wanted was the box so the other pieces were deleted.

I also decided that it needed a window, with all of the dust in the air in Arizona I didn't want to leave it open. I stamped 2 dolphins on the clear acetate I used for the window, colored and fussy cut all of the fish, plants, lobster, etc. and added some black enamel for the eyes. I adhered them to the background with foam squares.

I used white to cut the box out with then added some red Bazzill Basics and a piece of black and white ribbon around the sides and some enamel dots to the top.

I was able to get a few scraps out of my stacks and stacks of scraps. I colored the image with colored pencils, added some orange stickles and black Glazed Dimensions. The buttons are from my wooden buttons stash so is the twine. The sentiment is computer generated, printed on vellum and backed with a scrap of cream cardstock. The edges are inked with Peeled Paint by Tom Holtz. I added an Action Wobble behind the snail.

 

 

I colored the image with chalk, more scraps from my piles, buttons and ribbon from my stash. I did a mix and match with the sentiment, it is from a different set. This paper is double sided, the red stripes are on the flip side of the blue with red and white flowers.

 

 

 



 

 

Path of Positivity - Challenge #21 Midway Post

I'm a Guest Designer this month at Path of Positivity this month's theme is Faith. I'm very honored to have been asked to take part in this challenge.

 For the midway post I decided to use this design from: Pickled-Potpourri  this was a very easy image to work with and the sentiment is already on the card.

 

I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the design then I layered it onto a piece of silver glitter paper that I embossed using my eBosser and Delicate Dots folder. The card base is DCWV, I added a piece of gold and white twine to the side and some jewels to the opening edge and a red bow under the candlestick.


The reason I chose this image is because the sentiment says it all, Christmas is the most Blessed time of the year and a true miracle happened when our Lord, Jesus Christ was born.

The celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Holiest day of the year.  Whatever your own personal beliefs, it is important to have faith in your life.  The idea of believing in something that you can't tangibly see or hear, like love for example, helps to give us hope; and, we could all do with a little more hope.

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

• A prize package of a $7 gift certificate to the Pickled Potpourri Designs store (good for any digital product), from our guest sponsors this month, for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
• Three digital images from Fresh Brewed Designs for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital Stamps for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

There will also be:

• One digital designer paper (made to order in a few different ways) from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
• One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.

Path of Positivity Challenge #21 - Guest Designer

I'm a Guest Designer this month at Path of Positivity this month's theme is Faith. I'm very honored to have been asked to take part in this challenge.
  For the start of the challenge I decided to use this design from: Fresh Brewed Designs  the simple beauty of the image really drew me to it.

 

I used my Tombow markers to color the design then I chomped my corners with my corner chomper and layered the image onto a piece of red glitter paper. I printed my sentiment with my printer, chomped the corners and layered it onto red glitter paper. I added some Zva Creative bling and a piece of green twine. My card base is from My Mind's Eye. I also chomped the corners of the card base.

The reason I chose this image and sentiment is because

the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Holiest day of the year.  Whatever your own personal beliefs, it is important to have faith in your life.  The idea of believing in something that you can't tangibly see or hear, like love for example, helps to give us hope; and, we could all do with a little more hope.

For my midway post which will be posted on December 15th, I chose an image from: Pickled-Potpourri .
