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!!!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
