Paper Beats Rock Designs

 Aloha Crafties! The November challenge on the Aloha Friday Blog is Food & Drink so I decided to break out this adorable lil turkey die I bought from Walmart of all places!  I used some papers from my stash, layering The leaf pattern paper on top of kraft, then a stitched rectangle diecut on top of that. I wanted to add something to go across, but ribbon seem to feminine, so I went with three strips of a scrap piece of foresty green. My sentiment is stamped on a kraft square diecut from a set by everyday explorers stamped in brown. I think it turned out adorable and totally puts me in a Thanksgiving mood. I hope you're having a blessed and grateful November.  Jump on over to the Aloha blog to enter your project!

 Hello crafty friends! It's time for another Progressive Challenge over here in the LeAnn's World Facebook Group and this month's image does not disappoint! Autumn Blessings   set you up to make a rally fun scene, and I wanted to make them look like they were at a big city park! I colored my images up using alcohol markers, flicking the greens up to create grass. Dotting my grays to create the stone wall, and taking dark grays with the chisel side of my marker to just make rectangles creating the skyline . I made my card into a postcard die cutting the same postage stamp shape two more times and gluing all three pieces together. I then stamped my sentiments on the front and back, and added detailed to my people and buildings using white, black, and sparkly gel pens. I hope this has inspired you to create something nice and cozy with this month's image and hold in the Leanne's World Facebook group to join in the fun!

Hello crafty people ! I'm back with some inspiration for Leanne's World 101 Challenge blog! This month I created a card using the Bringing Gifts digital stamp and sketch number 11 from Kendra's card challenge as a jumping off point to create my project. I colored my little guy up to match Christmas papers from my stash in red and green. Then I fussy cut him out and added detail with black white and sparkly gel pens. I I did not adhere to the sketch exactly but used it more as inspiration cutting my papers roughly to the same sizes. I omitted the second rectangle and added blending in my sentiment to the left. It can be challenging finding stamps featuring boys but LeAnn's World 101 has tons of them! Check out the shop and remember to enter your projects into the Anything Goes Challenge over on the Blog!

I colored him up with alcohol markers to match some fun patterned papers I had in my stash. I know I say it about every card but I uuuuhh🧟‍♂️dore the way this one turned out!

Why hello there crafty friend! This month's challenge image over on the LeAnn's World Facebook Group Progressive Challenge is another über cute Halloween image: Witches Brew! I printed her in draft mode so I could colour her up "no line" style with alcohol markers. Then I added some shine and sparkle with white and glitter gel pens. I inked up my card with carved pumpkin distress oxide ink and then stamped over it with rested hinge distress oxide and a black office ink from my stash. Then I layered a couple of papers on top. Next I grabbed a purply tissue paper from my stash and ripped off a strip, crumpling it to give it texture and gluing it down as an anchor for my image. Then I pop down my witches brew on top with craft foam propping her up. To finish the card off I stand a sentiment from the PSL stamp set from ink road stamps. Head on over to Leanne's world Facebook group to join in the fun!

 Hey Hey crafty ghouls! Another anything goes challenge is kicking off on the Leanne's world 101 challenge blog but of course because it is spooky season I made another Halloween card!  The Halloween party image pack is full of super cute digies so I colored up the witch on tombstones with alcohol markers. I layered up my card with a paper and a spiderweb doily from my stash and splattered in with black shimmer spray. My sentiment is stamped from a Tim Holtz stamp set and I made sure my rhinestones matched perfectly by using the same alcohol marker on clear rhinestones as I did in my lil witchy's dress! I hope I've inspired you to join tin the fun and enter your card in LeAnn's Challenge !
