For this fun hop, I got inspired by some Hero Stamps I had from last year:

I was feeling anxious and under the weather, so this is my uplifting creation:

some closeups:

Also how I made it:

I used my last kit from Clear scraps, which contained a cute mini wooden palette and this stencil raining hearts stencil:

It also included this pearl modellier creme, so I decided to do some resisting inking:

While the paste was drying, I did inked some leftover pieces from a Swirlydoos kits from long time ago: 

I used my SNAP, CraftWell to cut some stamped images:

And used some Dylusions inks and Tattered Angels spray and "lifted" the resisted ink with a paper towel from the stencilled shapes: 

Finally, I stamped randomly some "rain" with silver colorbox ink and used 3D dots to add all pieces and voila I got my mood lifted...

PWP DT: Bluebonnets and Butterflies Canvas

Hi Scrappers,

This is my post PWP, and the Aviary.  I modified a Canvas kit from Quick Quotes with wings-cling-stamp-set, flowers-cling-stamp-set, and  the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set:

I used:

the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set

	wings-cling-stamp-set, flowers-cling-stamp-set,  PWP
	Moments like this, Canvas Kit, Quick Quote
	In short, I distressed the die cuts using the powder puffs mocha mama. I added some pearl watercoloring in shades of blue. Then, I added some stamped sentiments to the flourish die cuts and to the heart cut outs using powder puffs or distress oxide inks. For the butterfly die cuts, I stamped the wings using distress oxide. I also inked the edges of the canvas. The rest, I just followed the instructions of the kit. For more details, here is the SnapGuide with more instructions. Here some closeups: I love the details the butterfly wings stamps add to these die cuts. I also added some blue watercoloring to the big butterfly overlay. It blends everything together with bluebonnets in the pictures.

I hope you enjoyed my canvas.

I'm participating in the following challenges:

Pile It On! #125 - Quotable

There is a new challenge at Pile it On:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The theme this fortnight at Pile It On is Inspired by a Quote/Lyric/Saying. 

To begin the new year, this month will be our first annual Charity Challenge. Thirty dollars will be gifted to the charity of choice of one lucky winner (randomly chosen from challenges #124 & #125.)

The Top Picks for Challenge #124 will be announced on January 29, and Top Picks this challenge and the Prize Winner will be announced on February 12.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

For this challenge, I decided to make a wood wall hanging with a Swirlydoos project kit, I had from a while ago, for a graduation present:

I love the quote supplied with this kit and how perfectly goes with this young lady.

These are some of the supplies I used:

 Most of the supplies come from this kit or from other Swirlydoos kits. The gesso is from my stash though....

The diecut is from a previous kit, but I liked because it adds tons of dimension:

This is the finished project, showing the invitation inside the circle as an example that it can hold a picture behind it:

I added some 3D dots with the wrapper to have it ready to hold the picture.

I also did some creative gift wrapping of the wallhanging, and added a card made in one of my friend Gloria's workshops:

 The cookies arrangement with the college colors was made by my friend Nancy, who has Nancy fancy cookies...

I hope you enjoyed this fun mixed media project and leave me some love,
My Snapguide for this project you can find it here... 

Many scrappy blessings

Connie Can Crop DT: Spooky Banner

Dear scrappers,

This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion and 

today is my day to post with Connie Can Crop.

Our wonderful sponsor this month is Miss Kate's Cuttables. Please stop by and check out all the wonderful files they have available. 

For my fun project, I used our sponsor's files: halloween-numbers and halloween-monograms, both so adorable:

 I used some leftover of retired CTMH Halloween paper pack, a past constant campaign orange paper similar to the ones sold now by CTMH (Paper Fundamentals, found here), which have the nice texture, which resist inking qas you can see in these closeup of the P.

 Another close up to show off the nice letter cuts from Miss Kate:

 I used some glitter paper as well for the number 31 and the the skinny frames from the Theresa Collins cartridge.

The fun challenges, which gave me inspiration to add certain elements:
http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com/2015/10/cricut-capers.html
By using my cricut.
http://anythingbutcutechallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/10/challenge-6-31-days-of-halloween.html
By stressing out the # 31
http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2015/10/something-wicked.html
By adding tons of distressing techniques, texture paste (Faber Castell), burlap paper, ghostly ribbon, spiders, a witch, carved pumpkins (ribbon and cricut lettering).

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did making it.

And please don't forget this month's fun challenge!!
