The Corrosive Challenge #169 - All That Glitters

The Sweet Stop 

SSS200

It's been a while since I've posted.  Heck, it's been a while since I've crafted!  Life has gotten busy here and it has forced me to make some decisions. One of those being that I chose to resign from Sassy Studio Designs to make room for more time with Kayne, more down time to relax, and eventually, maybe, a new creative adventure.  For now I will enjoy my remaining crafty endeavors- like The Corrosive Challenge!  It's time for a new challenge there and an amazing new sponsor!

This fortnight we are lucky enough to have the privilege of working with the talented Rick St. dennis!  His fantastic images can be found in his etsy shop!  And in honor of Rick's fabulous Elite Design Team and his Sparkle and Glitter challenge blog, our challenge theme is All That Glitters!  Use something shiny, sparkly, glittery, or blingy on your creation!

Rick was kind enough to let each member of the team select an image to work with.  I opted for Ms Razz L Dazzle here!  I've recently become hooked on the TV series SMASH so I'm all obsessed with Broadway at the moment!  Ms Razz L Dazzle looked like she could be in a musical!  Or a Vegas showgirl!  I colored her with Copics and then using glaze as an adhesive base (thanks to Rebecca of Sydney's Sentiments for the tip) I added gold microbeads to the trim of her dress.  I must admit that I got a little ahead of myself and added the beads before I trimmed the image so I had to resort to a craft knife to cut her out!  I used a gold glitter gel pen on her feathers and some of her jewelry.  Papers are Graphic 45's Curtain Call-Applause.The sentiment is a freebie from the ever generous Paulette over at Create with TLC!  I thought it was just perfect for this project!  A die from Labels Twenty-Two Nestabilities from Spellbinders was used to cut out the sentiment which was then edged with the gold glitter gel pen.

I hope you'll visit The Corrosive Challenge blog to see what my lovely teammates have blinged out and perhaps you'll play along for a chance to win the fabulous prize from our sponsor!  Check back with me tomorrow for a new Graphicat Sketches challenge!

Simply B Stamps Previews Day 3 Norse Gods

Are you ready for more fabulous Simply B(etty) Stamps Teen Scene Norse Gods?!?  Yes?  Me too!  As guest designer, I was lucky enough to receive these eight awesome images to play with!  Here on Day 3 the team and myself have two more to share with you!  First up is Rio Hel!

Hel is the goddess of the underworld.  I decided to stick with only gray tones for her.  Black, white, and gray.  This is not a coloring technique I am adept at to begin with and it was very late when I started her so being tired didn't help!  We had out first snow yesterday, a pretty impressive nor'easter that left us with half a foot of snow.  The commute home took three times as long as usual so my whole night was off.  But I was determined to make both cards!  I did add Crystal Stickles to her hair for an "otherworldly" sparkle.

Papers are My Mind's Eye - Meadow Lark.  I used the Labels Twenty-Two Nestabilities from Spellbinders to cut out the image.  Flowers, a bling swirl, a metal corner and a sentiment from My Favorite Things' Twisted Foursome add that little something extra to the card.

  Next up is Lola Sif and I just adore her!  

Sif is the wife of Thor and is the goddess associated with fertility, marriage, and family.  She is also known for her golden hair.  My version is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. She is mounted on top of die cuts made with Spellbinders dies- Ovals and Floral Ovals.  Papers are My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two - Blush.  I wanted to play along with the Graphicat Sketch (#19), and though my sizes are a little off with the oval element, I really like how it turned out!  The flower trim is from Tim Holtz - Lavish Trimmings.  I used Labels Twenty-One to cut out that fab sentiment from Create with TLC.  A few pearls are the only other embellishment added.

 I am having so much fun working with these beauties!  One more day!  We'll have the final two images to share tomorrow and the images will be released into the Simply B(etty) Stamps store!  I hope you'll join us then!  As for today, if you arrived from Trish's blog you are on track.  If not, here is today's hop order so you don't miss any of the design team's beautiful work!
