Krafty Girls #3

It's time for another Krafty Girls challenge! Challenge # 3 is to create a card, scrapbook layout, 3D object, or home decor project with a handmade flower somewhere on it.
For my card today I welded the shadow of the flower to a small rectangle, then onto a larger one, making the base.

 This is how it looks closed, flat. The flower and its base are from Country Life.

 This is how it looks open. I created my own "design" for the vase by just stamping different stamps with versamark ink and then heat embossing them with white powder. After, I just colored the base pink with Spun Sugar distress ink.

This is the side view, while open. I inked around the edges of the base with Wild Honey distress ink. For the flowers, I just cut the flowers three times each :)

Dont forget to join in on the challenge here!

Thanks so much for looking!

Have a Wild Birthday!

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but my hubby and I just moved and are still getting settled in sooo I haven't been able to get to my crafty desk lately :(
I created this card out of scraps, even the yellow ribbon! I wasn't 100% satisfied with this card for some reason. I felt it needed something extra, but I just couldnt nail it.

Supplies:

Adorable face on the girl - Peachy Keen's Princess Face Assortment
Sentiment - Pink By Design's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Cuttlebug folder - Polka Dots (I think lol)

Lucky

Hello and Happy Monday!
It's time for another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge! Today's challenge is Luck of the Irish! All you have to do is make a project using a shamrock or the color green. Easy peasy!


This cute little fella is from Simply Charmed. The spinner card base is from Wild Card.

 As you turn the knob, the cute faces keep coming! The face above and below are both from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes set!

The shamrocks are from Paper Doll Dress Up. The "beer mug" is from Gypsy Wanderings.

 (sorry for the bad lighting!) The face above and below are from PK's Wide Eyed Kids Face assortment.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time,

I used Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo to ink around the edges of the hair and beer.

 Thanks for looking and join in on the fun here!

Happy Birthday!

I haven't made a birthday card in a LONG time (at least it feels like it!) 

Birthday Sundaes is having a challenge - get messy! Here's what i did! 

I cut this cupcake in white cardstock -it's from the From My Kitchen cartridge. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Simple Sentiments. 

I went ahead and colored the pieces with Tim Holtz Distress Inks using the blending tool. 
circle/"cherry" - Barn Door
the top of the cupcake - Spun Sugar 
the silhouette-like of the cupcake top - Victorian Velvet
cherry leaf - Crushed Olive
bottom layer of the cupcake wrapper - Broken China
top layer of the cupcake wrapper - Faded Jeans

 I cut the scallop circle and circle also in white cardstock from the Art Philosophy cartridge. 

 I colored it using the blending tool also. The scallop circle is colored with Broken China and the circle with Wild Honey. 

 I then sprayed it with only water with my mini mister to give it a blotchy look. (not sure if you can see it) Hopefully you can in at least one of these photos. :/ 

I used Perfect Pearls with Perfect Medium to give it some shine and finished it off with very little doodling on the cherry and wrapper. 

I also inked the edges of the patterned paper with Broken China. Again, here's the final outcome :)
