Happy Birthday Removable Book Mark

Hello friends!

 I hope your day is going well. I stopped by to share another birthday card ;) I am almost caught up with upcoming birthdays YAY! For once I am a little bit ahead of my game :)

For my inspiration I took Hero Arts Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge: Stencil/ Birthday/ Tag; the Summery Color Combo and sketch from My Creative Time Challenge, and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Summer Theme




And here is what I came up with:


I used MCT Tag die and Sentiment from Many Greetings set
I embossed a circle behind my tag directly on the black panel. As I wanted to follow the sketch but keep the layers to a minimum.
The inlaid butterfly and flower are from Hero Arts/ Sizzix Framelits Butterflies #3 set #657773
The stencil I use on my tag is called Diamonds from Heidi Swap Mixed Media Stencils collection.
I used Faber Castle Gelatos on Watercolor paper.

I adhered the bookmark with small glue dots so it can be removed. On the back I stamped "Be happy and Smile" from a MFT stamp set. I really like the contrast of the summery colors against the black panel, what do you think?

Day 2 of Exploring Watercolor Mediums

Hello crafters!  I hope your day is going well. I am here to share my fun work 😉for day two of Exploring Watercolor Mediums over at Altenew Academy. In today’s  lesson Jen Rzasa invited us to experiment watercolor on non floral images, using watercolors with the black outline heat embossed technique. I don’t currently own a large geometric image that resembles the Arabesque Medallion used in the lesson, so I have to dive in my stash and see what other geometric images could work. Here are the results of my experiment: Even though I like all of them,  I prefer  the “mandala”, maybe, because it was more time consuming to double trace ( once with permanent marker and a second time with an embossing marker) the stencil image and then stamping the individual circles.  Of course, working late at night, my brain fried, I made a mistake😖, I was so disappointed I almost threw it away, but being that I am short on watercolor paper I hesitated and had to figured out a way to salvage it 💡: by c

TURTLEY kind ;)

Hello friends!  I hope your day is going well. I wanted to share with you an idea for gift tags using cookie cutters and paper clay. This is the tag my oldest child help create for week 3 SHMK challenge: Children. Inspired by this weeks theme we also  made Alphabet shaped cookies and gave a few young friends their names covered with their favorite color frosting, they were gone before I could take pictures!!! I  have enjoyed Jenniffer's challenges this is a cause that speaks to my heart and we encourage our kids to be polite and kind always :) this just feels good! Onto the project ;) My littlest nephew loves TMNT's Leonardo and he has been wanting a "lounge" set actually he calls it "soft clothes". He has eczema and it is aggravated by clothing with a high nylon or polyester percentage and unfortunately all the PJ sets our there are we found have a  high polyester or acrylic percentage. So, I had to go get some cotton fabric and luckily enough I found
