Creative Inspiration Challenge : It's Clearly Sparkling!

Hi Everyone!! This weeks challenge was to use CI Paints on acetate or acrylic.  I decided to use the negatives from a vinyl cut and paint on a 6x6 acrylic square.  LOVE how it turned out! So sparkly!  I wish you could see it IRL (in real life)! It's awesome! Pictures don't do it justice!!!

Going 3D -- CI Paint DT Challenge

Hi Everyone!!! Things are soo busy lately! Anyone else feeling the pick up in your schedules as the weather gets nicer??  This week the CI DT was challenged to Go 3D with their paints.  Here's what I came up with


It's a magnet board that I modge podged (love that stuff!) with scrapbook paper.  I then painted 3 clear gem stones in Sea Foam, Aqua Marine, and Tickled Pink and glued a magnet to the back side.  I was so amazed at how well the paint took to the gems! AWESOME!  It really gives my magnet board a pop of color! I can't wait to hang this up in my kitchen!!
Here's a close up -- Can you say HELLO COLOR!!!!

It's all in the Icing: Creative Inspirations Challenge

Yay! It's time for another Creative Inspiration Design Team project! This was was titled -- It's all in the icing, so I made a cupcake window card. It's the first time I've made a window card, and I really like it!

Close up of the shimmer!!

I cut window card and cupcakes with my cricit.. I painted the cupcakes with tickled pink and then added a layer of winter white to give it some more shimmer. I painted the wrapper of the cupcake with my fantastix and carmel paint.

Banner Card

I really like all the banners people have been using over at the cricut message boards, but sadly I don't have the cartridge that has that image on it.  Soooo...Design Studio to the rescue!!! I made my own banner and I really like how it turned out!





I embossed the paper with cuttlebug's swiss dots and d'vine swirls folders.
