Creative Knockouts #479 - Anything Goes

Hello crafty friends!

Well, winter has officially arrived here in the prairies....so it's time for some snow fun!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #479. 

Our theme this week is "Anything Goes” and our sponsor is the amazing “SheepSki Designs”. I chose to work with a stamp set called "Winter Deer Image No 195"

Here is what I created:

I haven't does a "distressed' card in a long, long time!  I started by printing the digial image out on white cardstock, then covered it with Versamark.  I sprinkled on the Distress Frosted Crystal Embossing powder and heat set (I'm still learning - so bare with me! haha)

I did add a few layers of Speckled Egg and Tattered Rose here and there for some color.  Then I added some Taupe ink to age the papers.

I grabbed some vintage book paper and distressed with tearing, ink and some White Gloss Spray.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment and some "snow" using the Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink!

I hope you enjoy this card!  I had tons of fun creating it - it felt good to do a different style for a change and get inky! haha

Can't wait to see what you all create!  Good luck at the challenge!

Creative Knockouts Challenge #437 & A Health Update

Hello crafty friends!

Well, I decided I needed some excitement in my life (other than my new cancer journey! LOL) so I decided to rejoin the girls over at Creative Knockouts! I always love the team there and I'm so happy to be back.

Yes - I used the big "C" word there - I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in December 2021 and am taking 2022 to heal me up! That means, no working outside the home....BUT, that also means more craft time. I will share a bit here and there with my journey - but just know that I have an amazing medical team and I know I will kick cancer to the curb. :)

So enough of that talk - let's talk crafty stuff!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #437. Our theme this week is "Die Cuts & Punches" and our sponsor is  SheepSki Designs. 

The image I used is Bob Image No 60 - he's so cute!

Here is what I created:

I used a simple heart punch to add extra popped up hearts around Bob. Such a simple, yet effective addition!

I hope to see you at the challenge. Challenges are a great way to bust out of a creative funk - or just to have fun and maybe win a prize or two!

Until next time,

Jess
