Mixed Mediums

Hey there friends and followers! Have you stopped over at the Outlawz Challenges and joined in the fun on Twisted Thursdays challenges? Just two weeks to go before your chance to win the entire POT OF GOLD ends! Each Design Team member of Twisted Thursdays will be showcasing a card or project using one of our sponsors products of 2017 for being so generous with their donations, helping make this POT OF GOLD prize happen. Thank you sponsors!

Some of you may not have known that Twisted Thursdays challenges use to be called the Mixed Medium challenge. You might notice in the title next time you are logged into the Twisted Thursday challenge page. This weeks challenge is in memory of days of the teams past.

 This weeks twist is Mixed Mediums. For my card, I used our wonderful 2017 sponsor Digistamps4Joy Flamingo digi, with some blue Acrylic paint for the water, the sky, clouds, flowers and grass were done in watercolors. I added some water sparkle with Stickles . Finished off with a strand of ribbon, flowers with pearls inside, as well as a shell that I added a pearl embellishment inside of as well.

Customized Unicorn shirts

Hey there! Today I am sharing the custom shirts I made for my 3 Great nieces! 

Bunny EOS Lip Balm Gift

My first bunny lip balm gift. I bought this .svg bunny file years ago. This year I finally decided to try it out since I joined the Easter Crochet Swap in the Friendship Crochet Group on Facebook. My first attempt below did not go so well. I trimmed it up with scissors and only used one piece of it. To fix my issues I set the Silhouette Cameo 1 setting from the recommended 3 for card stock to 5 and set it to cut twice. The results above! 

I don’t like to waste a thing, so I am going to go ahead and use it since my theme for this gift is in lavender. I added google eyes, had to draw in my own whiskers, and cut a heart from some scrap papers. 

Here they are completed. I will definitely make more of these. So very simple and a great addition to any gals Easter basket!

Copic Marker Practice

Hey there just showing my coloring practice sheet for my Copic Marker class at Kit And Klowder Marker Class

Attempt #2 On this one:

Kit and Clowder December Marker Class Project

One thing about COPIC markers if you don’t use them often you find out the hard way they have dried out. Also, I’m a bit rusty again since I’ve placed my coloring classes on pause. But practice makes perfect, right? This is for my December COPIC markers class at Kit and Clowder.

New Beginnings

This week on Twisted Thursday the challenge is always ANYTHING GOES but the twist this week is NEW BEGINNINGS! For my new beginning card, I whipped up a bookmark for Mommy & Daddy to use in the books they read to that new baby girl. I added a cute Pompom as a tassle to my bookmarker.
