All my love for Christmas 35

Hi there! I hope you're having a great weekend! Today I'm joining along this week's PTI Make It Monday challenge where the challenge is to create a project using Die Cut Stencil Shapes:

I created the die cut stenciled background using one of the pretty fancy flourishes dies:

For the focal point, I stamped and die cut a pretty Christmas tree from the Love Lives Here: Holiday set then layered it on a small die cut doily and snowflake:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge:

Autumn wishes 22

Hi there! Today I'm sharing an autumn themed project that I was inspired by the beautiful color palette for the October Prima's Product Pick challenge:

I created a mixed media style tag which features a variety of Prima products including: texture, pretty embellishments and lots of shimmery details:

I made the pumpkin using chipboard and steel bladed dies, assembled then applied Prima crackle texture paste. For a bit of shimmer, I applied Prima Metallique Gold Rush acrylic paint. I embellished with various Prima flowers, a resin owl and glittery gold leaves:

To create the background, I applied a coat of Prima white gesso once dry, I added texture using a Prima stencil and Prima texture paste. After that layer was dry, I adhered Prima pebbles and Prima Roman numeral embellishments. For color, I painted on Prima purple mica powder:

For the final step, I splashed on the following Prima products: white gesso, Metallique Pink Blush and  Metallique Gold Rush acrylic paints:

I'm also joining along with the current Curtain Call Inspiration challenge where the theme is Glittery Gourds:

and I'm linking to this week's Paint Party Friday site:

Many thanks for stopping by!

Boo to you 14

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend! Today I have a couple of Halloween themed cards to share featuring fun ghosts from the PTI Friendship Fall Jar Fillers:

They are both very similar with the exception of the background and trim around the jar lid. Up first is the card with the stamped newspaper print background:

I changed up the second one using an embossing folder to create a dry embossed background:

For color inspiration, I joined along with the current colourQ challenge with the ONE spot color being ORANGE and for the sketch, I was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches sketch but missed the deadline:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
