Corrosive Challenge # 203 - Forever Young

Happy Fourth of July weekend to all of our stateside fans!  Hurricane Arthur put a little bit of a damper on some things, but we hope you all had a wonderful weekend overall.  We have a fun new challenge for you at The Corrosive Challenge Blog, sponsored by A & T Designs, home of the Emerald Faeries. The theme is "forever young" - Create a project for a baby, child, or even the young at heart.

These faeries are just the sweetest, most darling images!  The team had four to choose from for this one.  It was no easy task choosing, but I had a recipient in mind for this one who loves to read, and her twin girls have become avid readers as well, so I went with Bindie.

 

I just love how this turned out!  I pulled out another old sketch from a folder I have full of them, from Sketch Saturday.

 

She is colored with Copics, and I cut out a cloud shape and sponged the sky with some ink.  I printed the image twice, and cut out and popped up the lady bugs and dragonfly for a little more dimension.  Papers were from stash, the floral one is Echo Park "Sweet Summertime" and the rainbow stripe is Recollections.  The "So Happy" is a Studio G epoxy brad.

I hope everyone's 4th of July plans weren't ruined completely, I know I enjoyed a day to just be at home and get some crafting, cleaning, and family time in.  Looking forward to seeing some "Forever Young" entries at The Corrosive Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Corrosive Challenge 166 - Put A Pin In It

Good morning!  This is a super exciting day for us at The Corrosive Challenge, not only do we have a new challenge, but we have 4 new team members!  I am really looking forward to working with all of them, be sure to check out the blog to meet them and take a peek at all their blogs too.

Our new Sponsor for the next fortnight is A and T Digital Designs home of The Emerald Faeries.  This is one of the great parts of being on a design team, as I had never heard of this company but I just adore these Faeries.  They are the sweetest things!

The challenge is to use hat, push, or safety pins AND/OR this "Pinspirational" photo by Ronda at Box of Buttons:

 I chose to work with Kenz & Tilly available in the A and T Shop.  I have a friend who recently had a baby boy, so this was perfect for the occasion, and I knew I'd be seeing her this weekend.

 

The image is colored with Copics, with Stickles added to the wings.  I added lots of flowers, and two stick pins that I made using supplies mostly purchased at Walmart!  They don't have a huge selection of crafty things, but where I live, it's great in a pinch, and you never do know what you'll find there.  It seems like their selection of paper crafting supplies is always expanding.

Papers:  Crate Paper - Story Teller "Legend" and "Lifetime"

Embellies:  WOC and Recollections Roses, K&Co - Cut + Paste Ephemera (sentiment), Stick Pins made using beads and supplies from Walmart & stash.

Can't wait to see what you "pin up" on the Blog.  Be sure to play along for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor.
