I Love You - Crafty Sentiments Designs

Today is the beginning of a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments and the theme is New Beginnings which can be anything new... a new home, a new baby, new love, however you interpret it.  This is my last post for Crafty Sentiments Designs as my six month term is up and I have decided not to stay on.  The ladies on the team are a lovely bunch and I want to thank them for having me.

I was given the I Love You stamp to use which can be found at the Crafty Sentiments Designs shop.  
I had a bit of an opportunity (I call them creating opportunities, not mistakes) when tying the twine around my patterned paper.  Got my little tag finished and finally managed to tie a decent double bow and was feeling pretty pleased with myself until I turned it over... I'd done it upside down which is why the knot and tag are so close to the bottom.  At that point, it seems like a lot of trouble to pull everything off because I had glued the bow down so it wouldn't come undone.  I used to stress so much about this kind of thing but after looking at what was involved with changing it,  I decided to leave it alone.  I always do the tick-tock-double-lock and had a whack of glue on the back too so it was going to get messy.  I think it looks ok and I guess in a couple months, I won't even remember what I had done.
Back to the challenge... details and rules and rules for the challenge can be found on the Challenge Blog and the generous prizes for the winners are:

3 images if the winner used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image only for a winner who has not used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image for our crafty sentiments favourite.

Patsy & Gizmo - Zoom on a Broom

Today marks a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments and the theme is Hallowe'en/Fall. Perfect theme for me because I love Hallowe'en.  Not the scary, spooky stuff... just the fun and cute.
I thought I'd try something a little different this time so I pulled out some watercolor paper and my distress inks. After masking off a moon, it was time to try the sky.  I first rubbed in Stormy Sky, then Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and finally Black Soot.  The colours got darker as I got closer to the edges.  Then the moon... I used a small brush and painted in Scattered Straw, Marigold and then a few strokes of the Stormy Sky.  I found a few star stamps so embossed them in using Ranger's Super Fine Gold embossing powder and then added a few sprinkles of it in the moon.  Same embossing powder for the sentiment which is from a very old Stampin' Up set called Just Flying By.  Bats... sheesh, I don't like bats at all.  Occasionally, one would hang on the railings in our overhead shop door and when you'd open the door, the bat would give a little screech and off it went.  Maybe it didn't screech... I thought it did but I do remember running as fast as my legs would carry me so I could get the heck outta there.  Anyway, that was a bit of rambling... but what I did for the bats was simply cut out an outline on black card stock.
Details and rules and rules for the challenge can be found on the Challenge Blog and the generous prizes for the winners are:

 3 images if the winner used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image only for a winner who has not used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image for our crafty sentiments favourite.
