Desert Islands Crafters Challenge #4: Sharon’s Itinerary

It’s time for a new Itinerary from the Desert Islands Crafters Challenge! We DICC girls are so thrilled that we have had so many participants with such a new challenge blog! A whopping 91 people played along with our last challenge! Thank you so much for joining in on the fun!

Let’s get to this round’s itinerary, shall we? It comes from Sharon.

Sharon's Itinerary
1. Not a Card!
2. Black & White
3. Celestial
4. Buttons
5. Unusual Sentiment ie. not “Happy Birthday” or “Best Wishes” etc.
6. Charms
7. Wire
8. Fancy Fold
9. Fibers
10. No images

I made a tag using one of my newest Sweet Pea Stamps acquisitions. I told you it was going to be a very Sweet Pea week! ;)

From Sharon’s Itinerary, I used #1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. I used the image In the Wind from ching chou kuik’s Sheet 25 Plate 70. Isn’t she beautiful? I love the dreamy look on her face.

I colored her with my pencils and watercolor markers. And of course I had to use Stickles on her wings…in my favorite color, Stardust. The sentiment is also from Sweet Pea Stamps. You can click on any of my pictures to see it bigger.

I had this button in my stash, and the star charm is from Fire Mountain Gems.

Here you can really see the glitter. I used an eyelash yarn and a faux suede yarn for my tassel, which was looped through an American Crafts eyelet.

I invite you now to check out the rest of the Desert Islands Crafters Challenge girls, listed in my sidebar. We all have very different projects, which is what makes the DICC challenges so much fun! Won’t you join us? You have 2 weeks to add your new project, using at least 3 of the items on the Itinerary. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Have an inspiring day!!!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
