Wicked Wednesday with DRS Designs

That's right, peeps, it's not JUST Christmas Eve but Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time, too!!  This week our sponsor is DRS Designs and the theme is Happy Holidays or Silver and Gold, your choice.  I decided to go with Happy Holidays and a little twinkle of glitter and used their Glittering Twinkling Christmas Greeting.  Here's my ATC:

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

I printed my image and trimmed it to the appropriate size

Next up was airbrushing my sky with the blues, pink and lavender

Using the brown and green markers, draw the tree branches 

Go over the stars with the glitter pens and add a few extra "stars"

Trim ATC base and adhere ATC image

That's it for me today.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  I hope you all have the merriest of Christmases!  Have a blessed day.

Fall Blessings

If you're looking for my Stampendous/Spellbinders post, you can find it here.  Thank you!

As we officially head into the holiday season, the Dream Team is challenging all of our followers to be especially "Thankful and Thoughtful" during the month of November. We hope that you will link your creations with this theme in mind on the Dream It Up! blog using the Inlinkz tool. Our "thanks" to you is providing you with the opportunity to win the stencil of your choice, and a bonus stencil of our choosing could be yours for using Dreamweaver product(s) in your artwork. I'm posting this for you today:

I wanted to do a mini canvas for my bookcase so I created this 6"x6" canvas I'll sit on an easel.  I've had this particular idea knocking around in my head for a few weeks so I was happy to get it created and see it turn out just as cool as I imagined it to be.  

Here's what I used to create this canvas:

Dreamweaver Stencils© LS 78 Maple Leaf Stencil

Dreamweaver Stencils© LL 3043 Oak Leaf Stencil

Dreamweaver Stencils© LL 3044 Maple Leaf Stencil

Clearsnap® ColorBox® Chalk Paintbox® - Primary Pastels

Clearsnap® ColorBox® Chalk Petal Point® - Autumn Pastels

Tim Holtz® Distress Ink - Antique Linen

Micron® Pen - Black

Artist's Loft™ Canvas Board

Here's what I did to create this canvas

Using sponge daubers, randomly ink leaves around canvas using only yellow, orange, and red tones from the two ink palettes

For each large maple leaf only, replace stencil and loosely outline each leaf following the shape of the stencil but not running your pen against the edge of the stencil

Write your sentiment as shown

By the way, the Dream Team are very THANKFUL when our followers are THOUGHTFUL enough to leave us a nice comment on our posts! Here's the "A" team lineup for this week, as well as our very special guest designer, Linda Neff!
