Julia Spiri~ Sea & Hair

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends! 

Today, I'm here to share for

Julia is sponsoring a challenge over at

To play along...

~Use the picture as inspiration! (the theme, the color combos, the patterns...)

~You can create ANYTHING your heart desires, as long as it's clear how you were inspired by the cookies!

Today, I did up a panel using Sea and Hair. 

I started by painting an ocean/beach scene using acrylic paints onto mixed media paper. I then laid out my die cuts: The Sun and Lighthouse are from a monthly La La Land Craft Kit , Small Seashells  from Impression Obsession , Delicate Chain from Memory Box,  & Anchor from Echo Park. I finished with a Stamped sentiment using Letter Blocks from Studio G and using my Faber Castell Black Pitt Pens. I matted it onto black CS from Recollections. 

I colored the image with SN Markers and White Signo Gelly Pen.  I fussy cut her out and adhered her with 3D Pop dots for dimension.

 I sure hope you join the challenge over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #32. 

Happy Craftin'!

Faery Ink New Release~ Summertime fun!

Good Morning Crafty Friends, I'm here to share a card I made for the New Release over at

I got to work with fun and Flirty Beachball Arielle!

This image made me think SUMMER!! So here's my make:

I did the SUNBURST effect in the background, using Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie video. All the DP's were from Craft Smith. The CS is from American Crafts. I embossed the baby blue CS with the Drapery Embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I wanted to get some texture and a wave-like look. :o)

I colored the image with SN Markers and added some glossy accents to the glasses:

Finished with a Kite from Michael's. 

Hope I've inspired you to get a lil' crafty today!
