WCC#330 - Heidi's Challenge: All About Occasions

Time for the latest challenge at Watercooler Wednesday.  Heidi is our delightful hostess and our challenge is All About Occasions. 

My card today uses an Embossing folder and some metallic paints. 

I used a Pink Fresh Studio's Essential Slimline die to cut my panel which I then ran it through the Cuttlebug with a folder by Darice called Large Daisy Floral Leaf.  I used some metallic paints to colour the raised image... I couldn't get a good picture to show the colours.  The leaves look grey but in fact are a green colour.  I added a little sentiment label to finish the card.   

I ran an envelope through the folder as well and painted it as well to match.  

Come and join in the fun at  Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and check out the project from the other designers.  Then take our challenge and link up your project to the challenge post.    We'd love to have you join us.  You have until Monday 13th December  at 5 pm Mountain Standard Time (Tuesday 14th December at 12.00 noon NZ time) to link up your project.

Die Cut Diva's Make it Gliiter

A new month so a new challenge at Die Cut Divas.... Make it Glitter

Our sponsors this month are

 

My first card for the month uses  a Bugaboo image and a Darice embossing folder.  This one is not available from DiesRUs, but they have lots of other awesome  folders and dies.

 

In my rush to get this one done on time, I put it upside down in the folder.... but happy accident, I rather like the look of the de-bossed side.   My image was printed onto some Bristol card stock and coloured with Zig watermakers,  I used an old Wink of Stella pen filled with water to spread out my background blue so it is all shimmery and glittery with the extra sparkle still in the pen.   Added some more to parts of the girl and flower and then some glossy accents too.  It's hard to see all the shimmer and glittery goodness but I can assure you, it's there!   As I took my photo, it's not completely secured to the base as the Glossy Accents is still a little wet.  

So come and join us with your glitter - be it Kindyglitz, Stickles, Wink of Stella, Spectrum Noir glitter pens, glitter paper or even good old fashion glitter,,, we'd love to see it. 

I am entering into the "Anything Goes" at Catch the Bug Challenge blog

As as side, I spend most of the day at SENZ - NZ's largest papercraft fair.  A fabulous day, looking at all the wonderful products available and having to limit my spend to the money on hand!  Hard work when I needed wanted so much.  Picked up Altenew's Peony Bouquet, Tim Holtz Crazy cats plus another set of cat stamps from Katzelkraft, plus a new Fiskars cutter, a T-ruler, a set of 12 Liquid Drops ( like Liquid pearls), 4 Pixie Dust colour bursts and a Happy Birthday die.  Now to find time to play!  

Enjoy your weekend.
