Wicked Wednesday and DRS Designs

Hello there!  It's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time and this week our sponsor is DRS Designs.  Our theme for the week is Stars & Stripes!  I'm a very patriotic soul so this week's challenge is a favorite!  The image I've used is USA Thanks to Our Brave.  This one was near and dear because I spent 9 years on active duty in the U. S. Army.  I'm proud of my service to our wonderful country!

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

DRS Designs USA Thanks to Our Brave

Copic Markers

atyouSpica™ Glitter Pens

Dylusions® Spray in Postbox Red

Americana 6x6 American Crafts™ Paper Pad

Red Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this ATC:

I printed the image twice in two different sizes as I wanted the bottom portion of the image to be smaller than the USA.

I colored the USA with Copics® first and then cut out each letter.

Next I decided to go over each letter with glitter pens to add a little pizzazz!

I didn't want the sentiment to remain white so I spritzed it with red spray mist and set it aside to dry.

I cut the base of the ATC from red cardstock.

I cut the patterned background paper and adhered it to the ATC base.

Next I added a little sparkle to my patterned paper with glitter pens.

Since the sentiment was dry now, I added a little glitter to "Free" and "Brave."

Next up was all the layering and adhering as shown.

I would love to see your patriotic ATC's so I hope you'll join us this week.  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Lea

Wicked Wednesday with DRS Designs

It's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time and this week our sponsor is DRS Designs!  Our theme this week is to create an ATC with a fold.  I used a tent fold like one would with a regular card, just in miniature form!  I've used two of their images for my ATC this week, Sandcastle and Hula Pig!  So, what's shaken', bacon?

Outside - Shakin' that bacon!

Inside - I do believe she has hula'd right out of her skirt!

Movie that shows the movement from the Action Wobble.

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

DRS Designs Sandcastle

DRS Designs Hula Pig

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White

Yellow and Black Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Copic® Markers:  R00, 01, 02; YR02, 04, 07; YG 13, 17; E40, 41, 42; R35, 37, 39, 81, 83; C1, 3

Tim Holtz® Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Action Wobble®

Green Tissue Paper

Beacon®Adhesive 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue

Here's what I did to create this ATC:

Print two of each image and color pigs first, only color one pig's hula skirt

Cut out both pigs but cut off excess hula skirt on one that wasn't colored

Create hula skirt from tissue paper and adhere to pig with colored skirt

Color both backgrounds the same, add distress ink for sky

Trim yellow cardstock to 2.5"x7", fold in half creating a tent fold

Adhere both background pieces, one to front and one inside

Adhere pig without hula skirt to the inside background

Attach hula skirt down around pig's feet

Trim a small black piece to cover skirt area and trim "Oops!" sentiment, adhere both pieces and attach over pig

Trim Action Wobble to fit on back of pig and attach pig to front of ATC

Trim sentiment and adhere to ATC front above pig as shown

So, this one cracked me up!  I laughed so hard when I first made the pig hula, well, wobble!  Anyway, it's super cute in my humble opinion.  I really got a kick out of making it look like the skirt fell off the pig on the inside and added some blushed cheeks as I'm sure she was embarrassed.  Okay, it's your turn to play along and show us what kind of folds you've got!  Yes, my fold was simple, but, at least it was fun.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again soon!  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Lea
