Trio Of Creations

I love being a "Contributor" for Beccy Muir at Beccy's Place. Last year I received an invitation every few months to create cards and other paper creations  using one of Beccy’s new and not-yet-released  digi sets. This year Beccy added the opportunity to make an “encore with some old favorites” card, etc.  This is my first encore creation. It features a yummy looking sucker and sentiment from the Candy Shoppe Set. I colored the sucker with my Spectrum Noir markers, then used a white gel pen to enhance the lines between each section and add a shine to the sweet candy. I cut around the sucker and taped the skewer to the backside, wrapped it with acetate, the tied a scrap of ribbon to hold it in place. When complete, I adhered it to the card with foam tape. Yellow photo corners added a final bit of color to compliment the bright colors of the sucker.

Supplies: 

·    Sucker digi and sentiment- Beccy’s Place- (Candy Shoppe set)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Background paper ribbon, and a wooden skewer from my stash

·    A square of acetate (actually, this is a scrap of weatherproofing that was left over after we covered our windows last fall.)

·    Yellow photo corners from Amazon (WXJ13 13 Sheets 13 Colors Photo Mounting Corners)

I recently won a challenge over at The Paper Shelter blog and was thrilled to pick out three digis. This is one of them, and I love it especially when paired with two freebie sentiments from Some Odd Girl. I colored the cute astronaut with shades of blue to fit the current challenge, and trimmed a sheet of galaxy scrapbook paper that also has several shades of blue. to use as my background. After fussy-cutting the image, I added misty exhaust to the rockets with vellum scraps. I love her ray gun so much that I printed off an extra copy to decorate the inside sentiment.

  

 Supplies: 

·    Astronaut digi- The Paper Shelter (Retro Space Girl)

·    Sentiments- Some Odd Girl freebie sentiment set (Valentine Sentiments)

I layered on many items including a red&gold filigree paper frame cut from an upcycled Christmas card, a gold embossed sentiment (using an Azadi Earles wood-mount stamp), scraps of patterned papers, an old key fussy-cut from scrapbook paper, two primitive hearts cut from red, red rhinestones adhered to the hearts with Glossy Accents and a bit of silver cord tied to the key. The inside sentiment is a digi stamp from Eureka Arts Stamps.
