Tag You're It Challenge #68; Time Out Challenge #80

Hello there, blog friends ~
I've been playing in my craft room and would like to share a tag and card I created for some fun challenges:
First up is a tag I created for the current Tag You're It Challenge. Gayatri designed this adorable tag to inspire us:


Here is my take on the challenge ~ 


I inked the English Brick stencil on the textured side of Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock to add dimension, and colored the pups with Copic markers. A bold red die cut sentiment and some Glossy Accents on the tiny hearts, and that was it!

*****************************

The theme for the current Time Out Challenge is ‘Inspired by Words’ and the words are
'When it rains look for rainbows, when it's dark look for stars'. 


I'm a big fan of rainbows, so I watercolored the MFT stitched hearts to create a banner, inked some clouds and added this cute little chick for fun! I also created a mask and inked the grassy hill, then added a few sparkly hearts flying out of the envelope!

So, that's it for me! I hope everyone is getting ready for a relaxing weekend ~
Thanks so much for stopping by,

CAS on Sunday Challenge & SSS Flickr Challenge

Hi there blog friends,
The theme for the current challenge at CAS on Sunday is ‘Sentiment’ so I thought it would be fun to play along with some of my new goodies ~ 



I started by heat embossing the Wavy Coloring Book pattern with white EP, and blended a few DI's in soft pastels. I die cut the sentiment with silver foil cardstock and added the dots with my new silver gelly roll pen. The inside of the card reads: ..."to have you in my life". I'm loving this MFT angled die, so I included that and added a few Sprinkles to finish it off ~ And, that was it!

**************************

I'm also playing along at the SSS Flickr Challenge for the theme "Think Spring!"


I am so ready for spring, and for the flowers to start blooming! So, for this card, I watercolored the embossed Ranunculus flowers with distress inks, and I used my 'Love' die again. A few Rainstones with a stitched border and pink mat, and this card was done!




That's it for me ~ Have a great weekend, everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by,
