This week’s Mix Challenge (MIX16) is Glitter Under Glass.

This week’s Free for All Challenge is Chomp!

I created a pink standard card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2″) and then added a strip of green cardstock that I smudged and doodled on with white acrylic paint, green ink and a fine black pen. I just played with it until it looked “watermelony”. I used a corner rounder on the bottom corners. I stamped the face next (Peachy Keen Stamps PK-180 Erkle and Merkle Face Assortment) and painted the eyes with white and green acylic paint. I drew the seeds with a black pen and then went over them with glitter glue for some extra sparkle. I took a chomp out of the top of the card with a Scallop Circle Framelits die from Sizzix.

This week’s challenge is “In The Air”

Ink: Clearsnap Premium Dye Inks (Licorice, Strawberry, Cornflower (refill))
Adhesives: Scotch ATG Tape runner

The challenge is to create a project using any Wren image from Tiddly Inks.

I used the Wryn – New Nest image for my card along with some pretty paper (In The Zone collection) from The Paper Loft. The image was colored with Touch Twin markers. Dies from Sizzix.

Stamps: Peachy Keen Stamps (PK-206 Female Floatin’ Frog)

Here’s my card using paper from The Paper Loft, Colorbox Fluid Chalk inks from Clearsnap and white acrylic paint.

I started with a Straw cardstock card. Tear strips of patterned paper to fit front of card. Papers are from the Easy Breezy Collection from The Paper Loft.

Sponge all edges with Chestnut Roan Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink and assemble.

Tear circles that will become a flower from yellow and gold papers. Tear two leaf shapes from green paper.

Sponge flower parts with Amber Clay and Chestnut Roan Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink. I inked first with Amber Clay and then darkened some areas with Chestnut Roan ink.

Sponge leaves with Dark Moss Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink.

Once I had everything sponged a thinned down some white acrylic paint and splattered everything with an old paint brush.

Assemble your flower by crumpling a bit and layering from the biggest circle to the smallest. Add leaves attach to card. Add a brad (I have no idea where this one came from… I removed the prongs before attaching).

Wrap hemp twine around card and tie in a bow. Attach sentiment.
