Silly and Sassy Summer

There is a new challenge - Silly and Sassy Summer at The Funkie Junkie Boutique!  Tera is challenging us to be Silly or Sassy!  Here is how she describes the challenge: 

"Is the summer heat making you feel silly, sassy or snarky? Let use see your silly snarky side. Make a funny, silly, or snarky project showing us a bit of funky or frilly"

I don't mind a bit of sass and decided to create a series of sassy cards to share with my sassy friends! 

 I started with a masterboard created by doing the following: 

1. Embossed script using crackle embossing paste on white cardstock.  I randomly embossed over an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of cardstock. 

2. While that was still wet I sprayed on layers of distress oxide and distress ink sprays along with a shimmer Izink spray.  

3. Let dry.  

4. Pour spots of paint onto a craft mat in dark pink and light pink. Spritz with shimmery white spray. 

5. Place inky side down of background onto pink paint randomly. 

6. After dry I doodled flowers over the background. 

I used a variety of paper dolls and snarky chit chat to add my sass.

I love the vintage photos because they didn't smile in many of them and they look so serious and gives them extra attitude.

These little ATC's are perfect to send out to my sassy friends as a little pick me up.

Please come join us and share your silly or sassy summer.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Feeling Like Royalty!

 Happy Wednesday!  Today we have a new challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique and I am hosting it.  The challenge is called: I'm Feeling Like Royalty!

Here is the description of the challenge: 

"On June 2,  1953 the then 27 year old Elizabeth II was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom.  I thought why not honor this event by having a challenge that includes inspiration from royalty.  Think crowns, castles, elegant and regal patterns, or gilding your project  with touches of gold!  Create a shabby chic or vintage project inspired by royalty!" 

I was thinking of how I was going to approach this challenge when I was having a conversation where I said "She is the Queen Bee"  and that was it. 

I thought of the beautiful layered bee and how to use it in a card inspired by royalty.  I was playing with the Mandala die trying to form a crown.  I cut a little bit of the inside circle to frame the Queens head. 

The background consists of: 

1. Sheet of Backdrops sponged around the edges with brown dye ink.  Embossed with a touch of gold embossing powder. 
2. Mandala die cut from white cardstock and misted with a mix of blue and pearl ink spray. 
3. Die cut the embossed frame from gold paper and emboss with a touch of gold/black embossing powder. 
4. Die cut the bee from the backdrops paper and sponge the edges with vintage photo and emboss with gold embossing powder. 
5. Cut the inside ring of the mandala and use as crown for the bee. 
6. Accent with gems. 
7. Cut sentiment from Clipping and emboss edges with gold embossing powder. 
8. Spray flowers to match and accent frames. 
9. Assemble Card.
