Crafty Sentiments-Summer Theme

Hello everyone. Summer vacation is in full swing here.  This week for the Crafty Sentiments Challenge-Summer, I decided to change my creative juices just a little and do an altered upcycle piece. I have been seeing other use mint boxes and convert them into holders for earphones so I decided to do one for when we head out to the beach and stuff.

Since coffee is my favorite drink, I usually have quite the stash of breath mints on me. I took the adorable stamp, Bubbles, and colored it up with my Copics. I then used my circle Spellbinder dies to cut the image out. I then use modge podge to glue it to the front of the case. I added a sparkle gem over the starfish on the image.

Hope you enjoy this project. I now have to do a few more as my daughters want one for themselves.

I will also be entering this one into the following challenges:

SOG Sunshine Card

The weather over here has been crazy but it finally getting sunny and hot on a consistent basis. I actually am one of those people who LOVE thunderstorms so I do not mind them rolling into town.

I have this SOG card in my collection for a while so decided to use it to create a card.

 

Isn't it adorable!!! The paper is from my stash and I believe is a combo of different companies. I decided to do the self-made flowers technique again on the umbrella and use some of my brighter colors.

 

The skin color is a newer combo I was trying with E15,13,11 and a bit of R30. I really like it and going to try it again on another image.

 

Hair is E29,27,23 and yellows are Y19,15,11 and greenish yellow are YG25,23,21

 

Yes I actually wrote them down WHOA.

Make It Crafty

Can you believe all the posts I have lol.  I am on a roll. So decided to show off this cutey I did.

The challenge for the MIC CAS team was to create your own background. So I have these stencils dies and honestly for the life of me, I can not figure out how to use them.  I thought I would give it a try but have to admit I am not loving it but I do love the way the image got colored so figured I would go with it. 

The sentiment is from a stamp set my daughter got me for Mother's Day (yes they get me small crafty presents cause they know me so well).  As always I colored the image with my Copics.

I will be entering this into the MIC CAS challenge. 

Mo Digital Pencil

I am back again. I was on a roll with trying to get through this paper pad so I continued with this color scheme I used in my previous card.

 

I saw this awesome technique that one of my favorite coloring bloggers, Rosemary Bridges did with making your own flowers on the shirt. How did I do!!

 

Went pretty CAS on this one but I thought the image was so nice.

Greeting Farm-Add a Bow

Unfortunate for me I have been sick for the last few days, but I do find that when I can not sleep anymore, I like to just relax and color between my cups of tea and Theraflu. 

So I got a bunch of images done. I recently acquired the Roll Call Retired Kit from someone who as clearing out their stash and wanted to get work on one of these cuties.

I used the sketch from Deconstructed Sketch and decided to just add a small bow to her hair as I am not really one to use bows on my cards.  Hope you like her and see all of again soon.
