Crazy 4 Challenges #311

Ok, for this one I started with watercolor paper. Stamped and embossed the trees. Then I sprinkled Bistre and Brushos onto the paper. I used a paper towel and a piece of plastic to mask off the lower portion of the paper then I spritzed with water. I waited for that to try. Then I masked the top portion and added green and yellow Bistre and Brushos to the bottom then I spritzed with water. 

I used Stampin' Up! XL Round Label punch and created my two little hot chocolate mugs. Added some Liquid Applique' for the whipped cream on my hot chocolate. :-)

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love Thanksgiving and spending time with my family. 

Check out the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.

Top Tip Tuesday #54 - Use the sketch.
My "TIP" --- When using a die and wanting a layered effect on the piece you are cutting, it is smarter to layer first adhering the layers before you try to cut. As you can see with my card, I did not cut my layers first. So there was some shifting of the dsp and cs. TFL

PaperCraft Star #19. The challenge was to use their inspiration photo. I stamped the swirling leaves pattern first in SU Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie. Then I stamped the three leaves each in one of the three colors. Then I added those little swirlie chipboard pieces and colored them with SU markers.

I felt the inspiration piece screamed fall. So I ran with that. I was trying to follow the layout in the inspiration piece with my layout and placement of my stamped images. I would have liked to add some wire spirals but I could not find my craft wire.

Love Me Tender - C4C50

Love Me Tender - Crazy4Challenges #50 - Elvis week! Ok, if you use an Elvis stamp (I don't have one) you get double points... My turkey is a vintage image from VintageHolidayCrafts. He REALLY catches your eye! The image was printed 3 times and cute out, added foam adhesives and mounted one on top of the other. There is no hat on the top image.

Since it is Elvis week I used sheet music dp from the My Minds Eye collection Lost & Found. I also used some music note tape from Tim Holtz. Everything was torn and distressed with Close To My Heart distress ink in Chocolate. The green dp is part of a huge mushroom top from Crate Paper's Little Sprout } Stuffed collection.  I am thinking of making a set of these to send to my family members for Thanksgiving. I would only have to make 5 more. But I am not sure I have the patience to duplicate... umm anybody know the word for multiples of 5? Anyhoo, hope you enjoy.

I am an Elvis fan. I love his music, his movies and that fateful day in August 1977 I remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing and that I bawled my eyes out when I heard the news.
If you too are a TRUE died in the wool Elvis fan go to Crazy4Challenges #50 and play along. Won't it be fun to see all the different Elvis creations?!
