Sparkle & Shine Challenge #1

March 1, 2015

Happy 1st! Can’t believe we are looking at March already. Today, I have an exciting news to share – I am joining Sparkle & Shine Challenge team for 2015.

SS Challenge-01

We are all about creating projects using the Pretty Pink Posh sequins!! I am super excited to share more inspirations with you.

There will be 2 challenges per month, 1st and the 15th, and today is the very first challenge! We are creating projects based on the photo above, so you can create based on however this photo inspire you.

I wanted to play with some green shades for my card’s background. (Can we say 50 shades of green? lol) So above is what I came up with – leaving the rest of the card white and clean totally helps the focal point to pop.

To create the green focal background, I stamped Hero Arts Hexagon Background Stamp Set onto a Distress Watercolor Paper and heat set it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine Embossing Power. After that, I added different green watercolor shades from the Gansai Tambi Watercolor Set and let it dry.

I cutout the watercolor piece using Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Rectangular Large Die. I love the stitched line around the edges that gives a defined look.

For sentiments I stamped “celebrate” from Altenew’s Label Love Stamp Set with My Favorite Thing’s Timber Green. To dress up the card, I used Pretty Pink Posh’s Mossy Green, Fresh Mint, and Marshmallow.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and hope you will make a card and join us for our challenge!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
