Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #86 ~ Emboss IT

Challenge #86 ~ Emboss IT

This week the challenge is Emboss IT!


Our sponsors this week are:


Nikki Burnette
Prize: 3 digital images

The Paper Shelter
Prize: $10 Gift Certificate 

I love this fairy from Nikki Burnette that I received to play with. Her name is Candence. The lines are just stunning, I almost didn't want to add color to her. 

I used cotton candy cardstock from Close to my heart, embossed with folder named Victoria, sponged the edges of the image. Added the beautiful butterfly die cut and some pearls to finish off the card.

My second project to show you today is a Christmas Card. 
I used a pre-colored image from The Paper Shelter called Cirque. When I pulled the paper off the printer tray I saw a magical, red and green Christmas image. I used my cricut explore to cut out the image and to cut out the green ticket and write the sentiment "Wishing you a MAGICAL Christmas". I used some treasured Holly vellum on the background, shimmery red paper cut with a Tim Holtz picture wheel die. Added embellishments, red and kraft ribbons from Micheals, feather and sparkly holly leaf and topped the card off with two sparkly gems.

I hope you like this card as much as my little girl (true story she squealed when she saw the finished card!)

Now it's your turn to emboss it. Have fun and don't forget to link up your card for a chance to win these great prizes. You have until August 30th to enter.

I wanted to get ahead of the game this year so I decided to create a Christmas card using Lil Peanuts Christmas Tree from Lacy Sunshine.




Our sponsors this week are:

Lacy Sunshine
Prize: 3 Digital Images

Here's a bit about our sponsor: 
"Heather Valentin  is  creative ,  award winning,  modern-day  fantasy and  whimsical  artist who has displayed a dynamic and vibrant energy while painting professionally for over 18 years.
She  began to express herself creatively through movement at a very young age. 
For many years she studied dance, being drawn to forms that allowed creative self expression, all the while feeling this constant urge to create with her hands. The canvas is now her dance floor where color, beauty and drama are expressed through her every pencil sketch and  brush stroke. Her  subjects vary from fairies, fantasy, mermaids, vampires, dragons, wildlife, abstract and more. She is one who is inspired in a single moment. Her  dreams, moods and the the unfolding beauty of the world around her is what charts her dance for the day. She is most alive when sketching and painting, creating timeless pieces that reflect her heart and soul. Drawing breathes life into her soul- it enables her to reach out and touch lives. This gives her a place in the world one character and painting at a time.

Heather's  artist portfolio  has  expanded to include such  clients  as   Pepsi, Outback Steakhouse, Nabisco, Zephryhils  and can now be found  at Laguna Art, Third Stone Art Gallery and Sausalito Art Galleries, along with commercial and private collections across 

the globe. "

Good Morning friends,

Today's sketch is by Melissa who is also graciously offered to sponsor this week as well.


I made this card for my dad's birthday. Growing up he always had dark blue shirts for work and various blue plaid shirts for his off days. This paper took me back to those days of plaid and I thought it would be perfect for him.

 Now it's your turn. I would love to see what you create with this sketch! You have until Sunday night to link up your card.

Good morning friends,

The sketch is up at Tuesday morning sketches. This week our sketch is by Jessi. So much potential with this layout.

Sketch:


Our sponsor this week is Craftin Desert Divas!  Such adorable images!  Tara is offering a couple of digi stamps to the randomly drawn winner.

Here's my card, I hope you find some inspiration from it and join us with a card of your own this week.
The digi used here is called Birthday Girl with cake and you can find her here. After coloring her up with my copics I added a little bit of Liquid Applique. I love this product so much, it's wet to start and when you hit it with the heat gun it just poofs right up. The base layer is embossed with SU bubbles folder. The flower paper and #3 are from Sassafras (nerdy bird paper line) I added some teal twine and a paper flower to finish it off.
