The Corrosive Challenge #227 - Leave A Little Sparkle

Happy Father's Day AND first day of Summer!  I am going to make this a quick post because I am off to celebrate with my dad!  Breakfast out and then a home cooked fiesta of nachos and chili!  Yum!  

Speaking of yummy...  At The Corrosive Challenge we are welcoming back A Day For Daisies as our sponsor!  We love working with Tammy and all her delicious images!  To go shopping in her store (HERE) you really do feel like a kid in a candy store!  She is offering a $12 voucher as the prize for our winner!

Our theme is one I love - and try to live by -  "Leave A Little Sparkle"!  Anything shiny, sparkly, or glittery goes!  Tammy is always sweet enough to let each DT member select an image to work with and I picked Fancy Hair Fairy.  She is colored with Copics and cut using Labels Seventeen Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  I sponged Distress Ink in Vintage Photo around the edges and then added Shabby Blue Fran-tage.  Her wings are covered in Baby Blue Stickles.  I used a few other dies as well: Heart Doily Border, Honeycomb, and Filigree Crown (La-La-Land Crafts).  After watching a video on Youtube, I finally figured out how to use those darned punch around the page punches from Martha Stewart!  (The butterfly is also from her.)  I'm so glad I took the time because I love the result!  I finished my creation off with a bit of lace, a bling flourish, some flowers, a Tim Holtz Corner and Philosophy Tag, and framed sentiment.  The sentiment is from a Little Darlings Rubber Stamps set called Vintage Affections - Enchanted Wishes.  Papers are DCWV Rustic stack.

Head over to The Corrosive Challenge blog to see the rest of the design team SPARKLE!

Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, R20, B00, B02, Y28

Saturated Canary Summer GDT Call

Hi!  I was SO excited to see that Krista was having a Saturated Canary Summer guest design team call, but I was worried I wouldn't have time to create!  With school getting out next week I have been out straight with all sorts of kid activities and have stayed up until 1am not once, not twice, but three times this week!  That is waaay too late for this momma lately!  I'm not as young as I used to be!

Sleep deprivation aside, I have to say I was happy with the results of my late night efforts!  Here is what I created using one of the two images required for the call.  This is Traveler.  She is colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I am really liking the elaborate card style so this is another one I loaded like a baked potato!  (Is anyone else hungry now?)  I used a bunch of great dies: Lattice Border and Lattice Doily Border (La-La-Land Crafts), Weathered Clock and Hardware Findings (Tim Holtz), Cityscape and Eiffel Tower (My Favorite Things), and Labels Fourteen and Long Classic Rectangles Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  I also piled on the embellishments again!  There is pearl lace, flowers, a ticket, and a few Tim Holtz items consisting of Compass Coins, Game Spinners, Long Fasteners, and Locket Keys.  I dressed up the white panel behind the image with some Distress Ink (both sponged and stamped with a couple of Stampin' Up sets).  The butterflies are Martha Stewart punches.  The sentiment is also Tim Holtz.  Papers are Teresa Collins World Traveler.

Now I nervously await the announcement...
