Decorating with Poinsettias

I am still decorating.  Again it is with poinsettias.  If you are using images which can be used to "Deck the Halls", now is the time to enter my challenge below as you have only two days left  to join.  I am giving away a grab bag from Will Frog Creations to a random entry.

This time I made a tag using the Colors of Christmas which is Kard Krazy's Tag Tuesday challenge.  The dcolors are red, navy, and tourquise.  The side strip has a background of bleach swipes with a spray of webbing.

This is also being entered into Simon Says Stamp and Show.

This also qualifies for Creative Belli Challenge "R" embellishment.

Ornaments for the Hall Decorations

Continuing with my "Deck the Halls" challenge I created this card with an ornament.  I like to mix ornaments in with my greens.  The background of this card is Bleach Swipes with a spray of gold webbing on top.  The ornament and sprig of cedar are by Stampin' Place.

The colors of the card are the ones in the Play Date Cafe challenge this week.  They are red, olive green and turqouise.

Studio L3's Compendium of Curiosities challenge is on using the Alcohol Ink Splatter technique.  This is my interpretation.

Finally, Simon Says Stamp and Show is requestion samples of what makes us happy.  Hangin ornaments and seeing the relection of lights in them is what makes me happy at Christmas.

Inch by Inch

Gingersnaps Creations is having a challenge called "Inches".  So I pulled out all my inchie stamps.  I really haven't used them much in the past.  These are by Inkadinkadoo.  They are stamped on paper on which I did the Bleach Swipes technique.  I have used this technique a lot lately as one day during the summer I sat on my patio and made numerous sheets in different colors using that technique.  Now I am trying to use it up!

Pumpkins Near the Haystack

Here is a tag I made for Tag Tuesday Challenge "Pumpkins".  I put my pumpkins next to the haystack (rafia).   The pumpkins are there smiling wanting to go home and be a pie.  The background on the left side is an errie piece of Bleach Swipes paper.  This was a fun tag to do and hopefully it will put everyone ready for cool weather and in the spirit of Fall. 

Soartful Challenges has the Fall theme this week also.

The pumpkins stamp is by Stampin' Up.

Just Grunge

Here is a card I just put together using Bleach Swipes with gold webbing background, a little grrunge, and stamps.  After distressing my grunge, I decided to put my sentiment on it and add a little gold trim.  The sentiment stamp is from Scrolls Work Stamps.  The old vehicle is from The Stamp Pad. Tthe card ended up being a little busy.

Bleach Swipes-Oriental Style

 

Here is another Bleach Swipes project.  This time I used gold webbing with it.  I really liked the way it turned out.  The stamps are from Scrolls Work.  Coloring was done with Copics.

Shades of Blue

I made my first skinny for the Gingersnap Creations' Challenge Shades of Blue.  I started with a basic and easy TJ Technique- Bleach Swipes with Spray Webbing background..  There are a couple of unusual elements.  Many times you see a heart with wings.  This time I chose a foot and embossed in a a pale shade of blue.  On it I put a shinny plastic figure.  Near the fringe is a masked corner diecut.  The last element was a piece of gold fringe with tassels. I was going to Copic spray it blue, but I really didn't have a blue marker that was dark enough to show up.  In any case, it does contain a number of shades of blue.
