Crafters cafe tag challenge

Last week I went to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party

and we did a gift exchange... I made some fabulous bath salts and sugar scrub for my white elephant

I also made this pretty tag.  

The Challenge at The Crafters Cafe

Is a to create a Tag.

I was in a major time crunch to get this little beaut done in time to scram out the door

first I stamped the background with perfect medium, and then I added some 

gold embossing powder and hit it with my heat gun.

That gave this really pretty flowery pattern.

Then I added the digital image which I had colored with my copics, 

and then cut out using my Big Kick and a Spellbinder's die

I added a little bit of color to the edges of the cut out, and then to the edges of the tag as well 

(I know you can barely see that color on the tag)

The flowers were added using pop dots, and the bow was hand tied and added to the bottom.
This tag was inspired by tag 12 at the funkie junkie... I loved Linda's gold embossed background, and that was my main inspiration for this tag!

Remember her challenge is being sponsored by her shop The Funkie Junkie boutique
Which is currently closed but will be reopen ing in January!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a card to share with you for the design team at The crafters cafe challenge

Where the challenge is thanks 

I colored up this fun image from The stamping boutique

I also wanted to challenge myself to make a card quickly!
That is the challenge at Pretty pink posh where they've challenges us to make
A card in 10 minutes or less...
I came in right under the wire at 9:43
And that included coloring the image!
I know right??

I also of course wanted to play along with the challenge at Simon says stamp

Where the challenge is a sketch..

Here's a close up f the coloring, I think not too bad for a 10 minute

Card! 

Hope you're having a great week!

The crafters cafe and 31 days of Halloween : day 24

I'm so excited to share with you all that I was recently invited to join another design team

The crafters cafe is a fun little challenge blog

Where there is a monthly challenge with great prizes!

This months challenge is Halloween with distressing.

I made this fun coffin candy holder!

Apparently all my candy was ate by a hungry hubby!

But the coffin remains!

The image is from The stamping boutique

I colored it up with my copic and prismacolor markers as usual! 

The black background was stamped and embossed with clear embossing.

I then colored the I embossed areas with perfect pearls

It's really a very pretty technique!

Here's another view

Please hop on over to to The crafters cafe and check out what the other DT members
