FCC #6 "LET FREEDOM RING"

 

Hello my bloggy friends!

 Welcome to another Funday Friday Challenge.

 

Today is a very special day as it is my niece's 6th birthday

 and our 6th Funday Friday Challenge!

But seriously, where on earth did June go? I feel like I blinked and it was over.

But ya know what? Next week is one of my favorite times of the year, Independence Day. The summer sun beating down, the smells of BBQ cooking in the air, hearing kids' laughter with splashes hitting the pool and most importantly...our freedom to do it all!

 So with that being said...

  

This week's Challenge:

"Let Freedom Ring"

Create a card, layout or project for the 4th of July or showing us your

Red, White & Blue!

*One lucky winner will be selected via random.org for a Guest Designer spot for August!* 

Starts: Friday, June 28th 12:00AM

Ends: Friday, July 5th 6:00PM

(central time)

 

*NOTE*

CHALLENGE RULES UPDATE

We have now changed the challenge rules to 3 entries per person per challenge except for the Anything Goes challenges which will be unlimited.

 

 Here is what I created this week for the challenge

 

For this challenge, I decided I wanted to create a tag. I forgot how fun they were to make! I cut out my tag using my Elegant Edges cricut cartridge and cut out the "burst" cut on oblong at 4" out of some blue CS from Recollections that had already been decorated with artist spackle. I cut a second "burst" out on oblong at 4 1/4" out of red CS from Bazzill. Speaking of artist spackle, I took my Flower Frenzy template by The Crafter's Workshop, layered it on top of my blue CS and spread my artist spackle over it. Once the template was covered with the spackle, I lifted it up and then let my CS dry. It gives a raised finish, kinda like embossing only a bit higher.

I then took my Lobster glimmer mist and lightly sprayed it over the top of my stencil to bring in some red splats. I took my white sakura pen and outlined some of the flowers and added in some dots. I took some white DIY Thickers to say "4th" and very carefully glittered each one up using red, white and blue glitter from Glitz. I also used some scor-tape under the "burst" and peeled it up little by little to glitter underneath it so that the burst was also red, white and blue.

To finish off my tag, I cut out some stars from an old cm punch, glittered them as well and popped the white and blue one up on foam tape for some dimension. I decided to also add a few silver sequins and some red and blue twine tied off at the top of the tag. Here is a close up of the "burst".

 

 

Well that is my tag my friends.

I plan on using this for a July 4th scrapbook layout.

I am also having a little giveaway~

How would you like to win this same cute flower frenzy template that I used on my tag?

All you have to do is submit one question using the "Ask Jo" tab at the top of my blog and you will be entered to win! Easy Peasy! I will announce the winner on Friday, July 5th.

Happy Monday my friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I spent a good portion of my weekend getting creative and filming so lots to share in the next couple weeks. Today I have a card that I want to share with you that I made for a special friend who is going through a lot right now. I sure hope she likes it when she gets it.

I made a standard A2 card using some gorgeous Cherry Red CS by Gina K Designs as my card base. For my first layer, I used some Winter Wisteria CS by Papertrey Ink cut down to 4 x 5 1/4". For my next layer, I used some Vintage cream CS also by PTI and cut down to 3 3/4"x 5. I stamped my sentiment,"Praying you through your most difficult moments" in momento tuxedo black ink onto the vintage cream CS. The sentiment stamp comes from the Poster Board Sentiments stamp set by Gina K Designs. I love this stamp set. It has a lot of great sentiments.

 

My image is a digital stamp by Whimsy Stamps called Tulip Umbrella that I colored in using my spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut out. Once my image was colored in, I added some glossy accents to the tulips and the to the bow for that extra little something. Both my image and the main layer were inked up around the edges using some peeled paint distress ink by Tim Holtz. To finish off my card I added some beautiful red polka dot ribbon from May Arts. Below is a picture of the inside sentiment "Only God", another Gina K stamp.

 

 

Well that is my card for you for today my friends. I hope you like it! Now on to announcing the winners of last week's "Anything Goes" challenge. Can you believe we had over 100 entries??? You all are so awesome and boy this was so hard with all those entries to search through. Each week our job gets harder and harder but we like the challenge and enjoy looking at all the gorgeous projects you all create so please continue to create and have fun with us each week. Next week we will be announcing the monthly winner for the month of June from our top 3 winners! And now onto last week's wins...
