H2H: Making Waves Challenge

Welcome to my page! I am a design team member for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge team! Each week there is a new challenge, that expires at the end of the month. This week, your challenge is to design an project around the theme 'making waves'! The only catch (there is always a catch) is one of your items in your project must be from close to my heart.

My inspiration for this challenge, is a bit outside of the box....I used the CTMH cricut Cartridge 'YOU ARE HERE' to create two stencils from freezer paper. I ironed them on to flour sack towels (I hand dyed - another post sometime) and painted with fabric paint. How cool! 

Be sure to check out the other design team's inspiration, especially if you are looking for a card or layout to get your wheels spinning!
Visit the main H2H blog here to link up your artwork. You have until the end of July to enter this or any of the other July challenges. We can't wait to see what you create!

Here is my creation, scroll on down for an overview guide to recreate this card yourself.

Let me walk you though this my creation: 

• The beautiful bears are stamped in espresso ink. 
• The grass, flowers and butterfly are stamped in charcoal ink. 
• To add color, watercolor pencils were added (with no water) to the grass, flowers and butterfly, along with a shadow under the mama bear. 
• An outline was added to the banner and the card base. 
• Add a glue dot the back of the banner, loop some silver embellishing thread and adhere to the glue dot. 
• Add 3D foam squares or tape to the banner and adhere on top of the bears. 
• Add some glitter gems!

H2H Challenge| You Are My Sunshine

Welcome to the next Heart 2 Heart Challenge Blog post!

This time we are focusing on the theme "You Are My Sunshine" Anything that makes you think of sunshine, and includes at least ONE CTMH item will qualify! So now that you know the details, take a look at my inspirational project, and hop on over to the H2H blog to see all the design teams inspiration.

Using cardstock, cut 1 inch strips and coordinating 2 and 1 inch circles. to create the flowers, make lots of little cuts around the circle. to create the leaves, cut 1 and 2 inch circles from sweet leaf cardstock, and then cut them in half using the circle thin cuts. The title was created using block inking with alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol! Super fun.
