Last GDT post at the Corrosive Challenge Blog

Well the time has come.............my last post as a GDT for the Corrosive Challenge. It has been great fun to play along with the rest of the team this month. Thanks team! For the last week of this month we want to hear you sing:

O Christmas Tree.

Okay, maybe not sing, but at least craft about Christmas Trees! It is, afterall, Christmas in May time!

I have chosen to make four small gift cards. They measure 4X4 and were super fun to make. I used a Christmas Tree from one of my SU sets and embossed them with Clover Leaf Green embossing powder (which didn't actually work as well as I had anticipated- does embossing powder go bad or become ineffective?) Anywho, I got out some of my Christmas Tree blingy, bling, bling papers and ribbon & BAM! Done! 

Once again, I urge you to pop on over the Corrosive Challenge Blog for some more fabulous inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

3rd Corrosive GDT creation........it's a birthday

I'm back! This week at the Corrosive Challenge we want to see Birthday creations. For my GDT card this week I used a couple of images from  Mo's Digital Pencil. I just love her images & these two just popped out at me screaming 'buy me, buy me'. I purchased them after completing the blog hop involving Mo &  the MIC DT's! It was a carnival extravaganza with loads of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G images & inspiration.
I digress, the first image, Cotton Candy,  was available for $1.00 (during the hop) with proceeds going to Make a Wish Foundations.  This little girly image is so sweet, no pun intended.  haha

On the inside of my card, I have used another of Mo's images called Angelina's Balloon . Don't mind the stickles in the pic, it's the only way the card would stay folded the other way while standing! Isn't she adorable too?!! Next pic is a close up.

The balloons and celebrate block letters are from my scrapbooking stash! Oh the yummy stuff you find  when you've completely forgot about it! haha I tried to use papers that were bright & fun. All are misc from my stash. Also, both images are colored with copics (for skin tones) and  watercolor pencils, blending stumps & baby oil for everything thing else!

 We'd love to see your birthday creations over at the Corrosive Challenge Blog this week. So pop on over cuz you gotta be in it to win it right?!!

How wonderful right!

Let's get to it!

This is by far, my fave type of challenge, Embellish, emBELish, emBelLISh!! LOVE IT !  

I am not sure where the idea of the layout of my card came from; I think I made it up! Regardless I am in LOVE with my layering & please with the finished product! LOL (it's ok to say that right?)

I used a Wags n' Whiskers stamp that I won during a challenge. First time inking this one up! I immediately saw her with pink hair. Everything else just fell into place. All the glorious little sticky butterflies and gems! And multiple types of flowers! And let's not forget the awesome summery ribbon & misc paper!

Woops, don't forget the homemade pin in the lower left corner there, peeking out behind the flowers!

Embellies out the ying yang!

Raffia lace ribbon from Bunny Zoes and the other ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbons as are the little blue & yellow flower embellies! Paper are misc from a pack o paper I bought a long long time ago. Funny how we find those little treasures right when we need them hey!?!?
