Crazy 4 Challenges Sketch and Pizza Box Birthday Set

Happy Tuesday...Here's a new challenge site and I wanted to share it with everyone. This is their first week and it's a sketch challenge, the one posted below. If you get a chance pop on over and check out their blog and what the DT has done with this sketch. It's called Crazy 4 Sketches....

The card below is what I made for the sketch.

The birthday set below I made for our little one's friend (backyard friend as we call her) ..lol..They have been fence friends ever since they have been little. And now they are both in Middle School. She had an under the sea party this past weekend and this is the little set I made. I made a pizza box to store her little goodies inside. On the card and box I did the allegator faux technique. My first time trying this out. The mermaid was cut from Life's a Beach Cricut cart @ 4" and 5"...I added stickles to the hair, flower and little top and some glittery beads stuff to her tail.

You can kind of see the technique. It was abit hard to take a photo of it.

I also made the background paper using white cardstock, acrylic paints and some more of the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. After that dried I embossed the whole piece using the technique.

Well thanks for stopping in. I hope everyone has a lovely day. Hugs from Charm City....

2S4Y--Kazan's Sketch 34 Challenge

Happy Saturday all. I can't believe I finally finished this card for Kazan's sketch this week. I really enjoyed the sketch to. It seems like the sketches are gettin easier and easier for me to do. And I'm really liking the out come of them. Pop on over to 2 Sketches 4 You and see what other inspiration there is.... OMGosh....they are rockin the house right now. Here's the sketch here's the inspiration..I forgot to grab the link where I found this photo....sorry

and here's my card that I made. I really challenged myself this time. I don't normaly use yellow or rubber stamps (not for the whole project) , but I did here. The background was stamped with clear resist, added clear embossing and heated, then I sprayed Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (lemon zest) to the top layer. And when they say lemon zest, they really mean it. I also added a second layer of the chandilier with pop dots behind it. The flower was one of those really huge ones from the craft store. I did a gathering stitch in the cented of it to make it abit smaller and added a couple layers of the glimmer mist to it so it could match the paper. I'm really thinking it needs something around the sides, but I'm trying to resist the urge and not add anything more to this card.

Well, I'm off for now. Think I might go and do some of my weekend chores. Like take a nap or something....lol...have a beautiful day....hugs from a very sunny Charm City
