Out of This World with Clever Dexter

Hey Clever Dexter crafties! I'm wrapping up my month of designs today at Clever Dexter Challenge using that fun little astronaut and rocketship. You have to be a lunar-tic to not like these digital images from our amazing sponsor - La Casetta Di Chicca! Did you get the pun there LOL; a friend helped me with it :)

The trio of stencils I used along with the color combo (some I snagged directly from our optional color palette this month) made a crazy cool background! It kind of reminds me of the Matrix, just not in black and green :)

Don't forget the theme this month is: Use a Stencil

We want you to join us! Check out how to play along below and be sure to share in the gallery before August 31st. I can't wait to see what you create!

To the Moon with Clever Dexter

Is it me, or has there been a lot of space talk in the news lately? It's easy to see why we'd like to get away from our planet :) 

I'm guest designing again today at the Clever Dexter blog using another cool image from an amazing sponsor - La Casetta Di Chicca. I had a blast (pun intended LOL) making this card!

I thought it would be cool pop this little guy inside the rocket. Using some photo editing software to combine the images, our adventurous astronaut is waving to say hi!

The galaxy background is watercolored with some of my favorite super pigmented watercolors; the yellow stars are stenciled on and heat embossed; and the black stars and hints of galaxy flashes are stenciled in black. Check out all of my supplies below.

In case you didn't guess, the theme for the month is: Use a Stencil :)

Check out how to play along below and be sure to share in the gallery before August 31st. 

I can't wait to see what you create!

My Lucky Stars with Clever Dexter

Happy Sunday crafties! I'm up on the Clever Dexter Challenge blog with the theme JUST BECAUSE and optional color combo of: blue, pink, red, dark red, & white. 

I have totally loved playing with CasettaSullalbero digital stamps! This is my second creation this month...and the month is almost over....wowsers!

I love being able to take a digi stamp and switch up the ethnicity a little by using fabulous Copic skin tone colors (usually they resemble my own) and adding textures of coils to the hair. You can see my transformation of "Alice" below :)

I also did a little "digital stamping" with the image to create some extra toadstools. For my background, I did some watercolor smooshing with blue, pink, and green spray inks then layered a diecut star background on top. All of my supplies are listed below :)

I hope you give it a try!

We can't wait to see your challenge projects. It might be cards, a scrapbook layout, home decor, tags, journals, notebooks, bookmarks, and more! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy NOT Valentine's Day with Clever Dexter

Let's just get right to it today :) This bunny and his sign were the perfect images for me to play with!

I passed on celebrating Valentine's Day way back in the 9th grade and have kept up my tradition..even though other people tend to ignore my preference LOL.

We're doing some pretty creative crafting at the Clever Dexter challenge this month. 

I have the pleasure of sharing my creation using a funny, snarky little bunny named Bunny Valentine from the digital stamp collection by CasettaSullalbero.

If you want to see how I took this single bunny and made him a couple, check out my video on YouTube below.

 

Be sure to pop in, create a lil something, and share with us in the gallery! You have until the end of the month. Thanks for stopping by!
