COLLECTED CRAFTY COLLAB SUMMERTIME

SUMMER THEM

#collectedcraftycollabs

Hello Crafty Peeps,

This month our theme is Summer time with an optional choice of using an embossing folder.
Once again I need to give a shout out to Karen at Misplaced Mojo. Her and her squirrel sisters have done an amazing job. I can't begin to imagine how much time this takes them each month. Please make sure to stop by each person on the hop and leave comments. I know that they are greatly appreciated.

You should have come here from: Virginia

Next up  will be: Teresa https://freshandrenewed.blogspot.com/2020/08/august-collected-crafty-collabs-summer.html

For my first card I used a technique called swinking. What is swinking you ask?. It is a technique I learned from Miss Laurel Beard. I will leave a link to her You tube channel below. It is a fun and easy technique almost anyone can do. Here is this picture below so you can see how mine turned out. This is just one variation of it.  I guess doing it this way is similar to ink smooshing . Here you can also see the Nuvo Shimmer powder I used for the gold  splatter.

 Here  you can see the stamp set I used, by Pink and Main called Fiesta. I thought these drinks were perfect for the summer time theme. I water colored them using Distress Oxide Inks. The lemon slices are from a shaker bit mix from Trinity as well as the sentiment. That set is called Summertime Sentiments.

For this card I went with a swimming theme. I used Distress Oxide Inks to make the background for this one. I used an MFT stamp set along with an Avery Elle one. The die in the background is embossed with an old embossing folder. I'm sorry I no longer remember the name. I fussy cut out cute swimsuit she is wearing to match her beach ball. I used a stencil over the raft and masked her off to to that. The Seahorse is from the Avery Elle set and  is tucked one of the waves.

COLLECTED CRAFTY COLLAB

OUTDOORS IS THE THEME FOR JULY

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's once again time for our Collected Crafty Collab where we use are supplies we have had and not used. This month our theme is Outdoors and with the option of patterned paper. Before we get started I want to give a Big Shout Out to Karen from Misplaced Mojo.

 She has put so much work and time into this 6 month long collab. She along with all the rest of us have worked hard to bring you another great hop. Please make sure to stop by each blog and leave the some love. It really makes their day to receive comments on the projects they have put so much time into.

You should have come here from Miss Virginias Blog which you can find here,

Next up is Miss Teresa and you can find her link https://freshandrenewed.blogspot.com/2020/07/collected-crafty-collab-july-edition.html

 Lets get started as I have 3 cards for you today. I used to stamp sets 1 by Sunny Studio called Critter Campout  and 1 by Kindred Stamps Galactic Adventures the Sequel.

Card #1

 

 

For this card I chose to do an inked background with inspiration from a card I saw on Pinterest. when I first saw the theme Outdoors, I right away thought of camping and seeing the stars at night. I was just playing around seeing if I could get the look I wanted and then would make the "real" background for the card.

Well much to my surprise this one came out great. This panel is 3.25 x 5.50. the card base is 4 x 5.50. This was just a scrap laying on my desk so it's what I used as I was just testing out the background. I made a smaller card because it seem to fit this panel better. I used My distress Oxide Inks in a variety of colors and some Premium Dye Ink by Simon Says Stamps the grass area blended with my Oxide Inks     

Card #2

For card 2 I went with paper. I created a sunset background. First off I ink the various papers with  coordinating Distress Oxide color and then tore it to get this look. I thought these colors looked like a sunset to me. I used the Neat and Tangled Stitched Slope Dies for the grass cut out from patterned paper from my stash. I added a half circle in which I used a gold glitter pen over the top to make it look lie the sun was setting. These 3 sure do look like they are having fun around the camp fire. I really would enjoy going camping right now for a day or two.

Card #3

Card 3 is where I used the Galactic Adventure the Sequel. This one is an inked background as well. I used a mask that I made to make sure the sun didn't get a lot of the sky color in it. I added some spots to make the brown look more like sand . I hope this looks like they are out in the desert with the sun shinning down on them. That is the look I was going for.
