Craftin Desert Divas Linky Party Theme - Create A Scene



Hello friends! The theme for this Linky Party at Craftin Desert Divas is "Create A Scene"! We would love to see all of your projects that fit this theme! So go ahead and craft it and link it up on the Craftin Desert Diva's Blog.

Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly Linky Party over 
at the CDD blog. We hope you will share your projects with us! And don't forget 
about  the prizes! Every Linky Party will have a winner and a Top 3! 
The more times you link up...the more chances you have to win!!

Our Sponsors for this Linky Party are:

One 4"x 6" stamp set
One Digi Stamp of choice


Here is what I made..


 I first stamped the fairy house (from Enchanted Tales stamp) and masked it off with some masking tape.  I then stamped partially the flowers line (from Build A Scene 2 stamp) to the right and the pebbles/rocks path (from Build A Scene stamp) to the front of the fairy house.

I hand-drawn the pebbles/rock to extend the path and stamped the unicorn (from Magical Wishes stamp) as if she was standing on the path galloping to visit her friends at the fairy house (*lol* so fancy) and of course I needed to mask it off as well...  I then started to color the glass area with various green copic markers.  For the sky I used tumble glass distress ink and lightly inked up for the sky.

I then took off all the masks and began to color other images with also copic markers and I couldn't leave the unicorn alone I had to give her that "cutie mark"

I used my go-to Fancy Frame die to cut off the panel and mounted on to black layering card stock then attached it to my card base.  I stamped the sentiment (from Adventure Awaits stamp) and sprinkled Comet Sequins to finish off my card.

Here's closer look

I also popped up the flowers on the fairy house to give it some dimensions.

Happy Birthday from Rainbow Robots

Hello there my crafty friends...

Hope you are all doing well.  Im on Craftin Desert Divas' Blog today sharing with you my project using "Adventure Awaits" stamp set.

Here is what I made


My card sharing today is simple but colorful and I promise NO MASKING! :)

What could it be a great idea for a boy card? Robot! Yes, that's right!  I started by stamping this tiny robot from Adventure Awaits stamp set at the center of my card.  I then moved my way to the left and to the right then up and down to create my main panel.  I then stamped my sentiment from Simply Said stamp set at the center of my card.

I began to color all my robots using copic markers with rainbow colors.  I did about 3 shades of each colors.  After done with the robots I used my grey copic markers to go around each robots for dimensions.  I also used 3 shades of grey W1, W3 and W5.  I only used W5 on the right side of the robots.

Here is the closer look


I hope that you can see the dimensions with the grey markers.  I then mounted the panel onto black layering card stock.  I wanted my card base to match my robots colors so I used the darkest color markers of each robot that I colored to color around the edge of my card base.

I finished it off by sprinkled Comet Sequins and it's done!


I hope you like it and Thank you for stopping by... Have a Wonderful day!

Here are the CDD products that I used :

Comet Sequins

**Project # 1**


 This card is showcasing Build A Scene 2 stamp set.  It's perfect for those who love to build a scene with landscape to the project.  This set can be used all year round and additional images to Build A Scene stamp set from March Release.

I started by stamping the waterfall toward the top right corner as if it's further away background.  I then stamped the flowers line toward bottom left corner as my foreground.  I pulled out my all time favorite stamp set Chilly and stamped the cutie bunny.  I colored all images with copic markers.  For the waterfall I did used wink of stella pen and grossy accent.

After the grossy accent dried, I cut the panel using the stitched rectangle die (2nd one from the largest) of Fancy Frame Dies and mounted onto black layering card stock.  I used Picture Frame Dies and cut 2 pieces of red card stock to make my card based.

Not to forget the sentiment :) I used Wishful Thoughts stamp set and filled up the empty sky and finished it off by using Honeycomb sequins (new)

And here are all details at closer look

Waterfall

Flowers and Honeycomb Sequins

*** Project # 2 ***


This card is showcasing Adventure Awaits and Enchanted Tales stamp sets.  The fun and adorable boylish style and some corodinate images that can make you card look more interesting.

I chose to stamp the handsome wizard (from Adventure Awaits stamp set) holding magical wand in his hand casting the magical spell/wishes for the lucky birthday boy. :)  I decided to have the big moon and the floating castel (from Enchanted Tales) to be my background.  I masked the images off with post-it tape and did some inking with blue distress inks for night scene.  I colored all the images using copic markers (again) and stamped the sentiment above the wizard.  I then cut my panel with Fancy Frame Dies and mounted on my card base.
 
I sprinkled all over with magical sequins (lol) using Skyfall sequins (new).  And it's done!

 Here's the closer look

Craftin Desert Divas' Linky Party Theme - Foodie

 
Hello friends! The theme for this Linky Party at Craftin Desert Divas is "Foodie"! We would love to see all of your projects that fit this theme! So go ahead and craft it and link it up on the Craftin Desert Diva's Blog.

Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly Linky Party over at the CDD blog. 

We hope you will share your projects with us! And don't forget about  the prizes! 
Every Linky Party will have a winner and a Top 3! 

The more times you link up the more chances you have to win!

Our Sponsors for this Linky Party are:

One 4"x 6" stamp set
One Digi Stamp of choice

Here is what I made..


I first used the Hill die from Outdoor Landscape Dies to cut out 6 panels from watercolor paper. I shifted the position of the die to give some variations. I then began to stamp the images from Kitchen Cuties Stamp set on each panel except the center reserving for sentiment and the bottom panel because it's too little space.

After I stamped the images I then masked them off with masking paper and began to distress each panel with rainbow colors with distress inks. I did some water splashes on each panel to get some textures.

Here is the closer look at the images and panels

Aftet all panel are dried, I adhered all the panels onto thin photocopy paper and cut them off with Fancy Frame Dies.  I then colored all images with various copic markers and attached it to my black card base.

I stamped the sentiment from Farmers Market stamp set. I manipulated it a little bit to curve it and follow the die cut line.  To finish it off I sprinkle all over the panel with Moonlit Kisses sequin.


Here's the closer look at the sentiment


I hope you like it and Thank you for stopping by today.
