Animal Cookie Challenge #4

Try the Faux Technique! This technique is featured on CTMH's Webisode this month! Watch the informative lesson, and try it for yourself. This is the original design:

And, this is my take on the card:

I used the June Word Puzzle Stamp, Say it In Style Stamp Set, & the Childhood Stamp Set. I also used: Sunflower Brads, & Tulip, Clover Meadow, Tulip, and Dutch Blue Exclusive Inks, and the Rubber Brayer.

Animal Cookie Challenge #3

Create a piece of altered art with your scraps!

Great for the environment. Great for your pocketbook. Great results.

For this challenge, I used a Wilton Candy box, and decorated it with my scraps from the Animal Cookie collection! What a fun way to add that extra WOW factor! And perfect for a homemade gift! What's inside my candy box?? Buckeyes of course! For non-Ohioians (Go Bucks!) those would be a chocolate-peanut butter confection!

I created several variations of these fun little gift boxes in no time at all! (Especially compared to the time that it takes to make the Buckeyes! lol!) These are for a Team in Training fundraiser, but I can invision using them for all sorts of gifts! Want to see my other candy boxes? Visit MYCTMH Website.

Animal Cookie Challenge #2

Use Liquid Glass on a stamped image to accent the negative space!

If you look closely, you will see that there is a gloss on the spots of the giraffe. This was achieved by applying Liquid Glass to the white spots. This is a fun technique that really adds that perfect finishing touch to any project!

Tip: Always store the Liquid Glass upside down so that the tip does not clog. The CTMH accent & flower tubes are perfect for this storage--complete with a lid. If you need a tube, let me know...I always have extras!

Announcing New Upcoming Event!

I am postponing my Tinkerin' Challenge this evening to instead post my new upcoming Animal Cookie Event! There has been such a great response to my Tinkerin' Event, that I decided to do a similiar event in June--the Animal Cookie Event! All through the month of June, I will donate $1 for each Animal Cookie, or supporting product, to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I will also be positing artwork on my blog all month long to inspire you!
