Corrosive Challenge #179 - Fancy Folds

I'm melllllltinnnggg, mellllttttinnnggg!  OK, not really but this heat does make one feel a bit like a wicked witch whose had a bucket of water thrown on her, LOL.  At least the end should be near and the temperature should be getting a little more comfortable. 

Over at the Corrosive Challenge, we are pleased to welcome back Mayzy Art as our sponsor this fortnight.  Mayzy is offering up a $15 GV to the MayzyArt Store as a prize to our winner!  

The new challenge is "Fancy Folds", you must make a project with more than one fold.  I'm still not all that brave about trying new techniques, so I went with a good ole' twisted easel card, using Trapeze Artist.

 

 She is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped up with foam dots.  I used a Labels 8 Spellbinder die cut in the background, then a doily in front.

I usually kind of keep things relatively simple, but I wanted to add lots of embellies to this one, I also just "winged" it instead of using a sketch.  It always takes me longer when I do that but, I am pleased with the result.

Papers:  Recollections - Bright Plaid Dots, Bright Plaid.
Embellies:  Recollections Paper Butterflies, flower, pearls and clothespin.  WOC roses and seam binding, Wilton 4" white doily, Tim Holtz adage ticket.

That's all folks, hope to see some fabulous entries over at The Corrosive Challenge !

Stay cool :-)

Corrosive Challenge 170 - Just Dance

I don't know about anyone else, but there are few things that are more fun than blasting your favorite music, and busting some dance moves.  I used to do a lot more of it before I had my son, I went to Boston almost every weekend to hear different DJ's play electronic music, and get my groove on with the hubby.  We had a blast!  Now most of the dancing I do is playing a Wii game or hopping around the living room with my son, but it's still a good time.  Since I am such a fan of dancing, I was excited about our new challenge:  Just Dance.  Create a project with a dance themed image or inspired by dance or music.

A new challenge at The Corrosive Challenge means a new sponsor with a fabulous new prize! We are super excited to welcome back Mayzy Art as our sponsor this month! Mayzy is offering up 5 of her awesome digis as a prize to our winner! Mayzy has tons of fantastic images that are perfect for the challenge.

 

I started out with Break Dance, available in the Mayzy Art shop.  She is colored with Copics, cut with an oval Nestabilities, and sponged a little with yellow ink.

I popped up the image with foam squares and added the flowers and Tim Holtz Adage Ticket as the final touch.

Sketch was courtesy of Graphicat Sketches.  They used to scare me a little because they have a lot going on sometimes, but I am loving their sketches lately, and I will even be able to enter the challenge!

Papers:  Cosmo Cricket the Boyfriend "Art Appreciation"

Embellies:  WOC Roses, brads and ribbon from stash.

This was a super fun challenge, and I hope to see lots of entries.  C'mon and get your groove on over at The Corrosive Challenge!
