Believe in Yourself

 Happy Saturday!  Blogging just isn't the same as it once was, is it?  I've been using Instagram much more than my blog and I really wish I could figure out a way to enter my creations into challenges using Instagram.  For some reason, my @craftywitchyjenn page won't allow me to copy a link from a specific post.  I can do it from both my personal and business pages, but not my crafty one.  Weird.  If anyone has any tips or ideas, I'd be forever grateful.  Anyway, I am not sure if anyone is even visiting my blog but I'm on a mission to enter as many challenges as I can so I guess I'm stuck with this option for now!

Today's card was made for the 

Altenew April Challenge

and it also fits for my 5th and final entry into the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

I used my Gelli plate to create the background with acrylic paints and I just love how the colors match the Altenew palette so perfectly!!!  My image is a rubber stamp from The Greeting Farm, the burlap texture die is from Altenew and I added some paper flowers, decorative tape, and a sticker sentiment to finish it off. Peace.

Love My Witches

 Today's entry is a two-fer... LOL  This card is suitable for both of the SSS Challenges this week!

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stencil It!

My mermaid witch image is a digi stamp from Oddball Art Co.  I used a large sunflower stencil (I believe it's from The Crafter's Workshop) with my Gelli Plate to create the background, added a wooden star covered in Gold Stickles and some sentiment strips.  Thanks for looking!  Peace.

It's Just a Phase

 Hey there!  I'm back again for my 3rd entry into the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

I used alcohol inks to create this background, then some moon phase dies to create my scene.  I used an ATC Coin punch, sprayed with some Liquitex Gloss Varnish (VERY similar to the "resist spray" that's popular!) to create the resist look.  Finished off with some pearl stickers.  Peace.

never give up

 Hello there - I was super excited for this challenge this week because I've been on a huge kick of making my own backgrounds and they let you submit up to FIVE projects for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp and let's face it, most of us have a wish list about a mile long!  LOL  So this is my 2nd entry into the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

My friend Alison is the source of a lot of my inspiration - she got me hooked on the Lindy's Magicals, which is what I used to create this background above.  I have the powders, so I mixed a little powder with some water and used a paint brush to create my background.  I "flicked" the paint brush to get the splatter. The mushrooms are digis from Oddball Art Co., colored with markers. Alison also turned me on to the Gel Plates from Gelli Arts and I'm OBSESSED.  LOL  Stay tuned as I'll probably share one of those creations tomorrow! Peace.

Paint Your World Happy

Happy Tuesday!  Today's creation is for the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

I used an older image from All That Scraps (Aries Zodiac image), colored with markers and Stickles.  Background was created using alcohol inks and blowing them around. Text sentiment is a stamp from Woodware.  Finished off with some butterfly tape, "authentic" wood piece, and gemstone brads.  Peace. 

Friend

 Happy Friday!

I'd like to enter this sweet card into the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Flowers

My image is a stamp from My Favorite Things, stamped directly onto some DP from Authentique.  Sun and "friend" text are die cuts.  Finished off with some gemstone stickers.

Peace.

The Big Picture

 Hello there!  I rarely use this blog anymore because I post everything on my IG @craftywitchyjenn but for some reason IG isn't letting me copy the link for each post in order to enter into challenges.  So here I am!

I'd like to enter this into the 

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Not a Card

I made a mini canvas using Lindy's Magicals and a watercolor brush.  I painted a little wooden camera and attached it with some craft glue.  Added a sticker sentiment and some gemstone stickers.  Thanks for looking!

Peace.
