Pop Up Challenge with Panda Pals ....

Happy Friday everyone !!! 

I think I am finally back to my crafting ,lol !

 It has been a super hectic couple of weeks !

I have two kids on medicine that has to be taken for eight weeks each ,

 for one twice a day and the other one once a day , 

on top of that my baby also had an ear infection so he was also on antibiotics on top of his other medicine ~ add to that the beginning of school (my oldest now officially a high schooler ) ! 

And as you can imagine I haven't had as much time as before to craft ! 

I am so happy to finally be back to a routine and a schedule so I have some craft time again ! 

Perfect timing for the wonderful Kathy's from The Daily Marker's Day 1 of her new Pop Up Challenge ! As you know she is also the amazing host behind The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge ( another one is coming soon ) ! She has amazing inspiration and videos ! It is always lots of fun to see the fantastic projects she and everyone creates for these fun challenges ! 

If you would like all of the details for her fun challenge please 

visit her blog here. 

Today's theme is all about LINES ....... I instantly knew I would be taping off a pattern and going from there . I die cut the detailed rectangle from Craftin' Desert Divas Fancy Frames Die Set , then I used washi tape to mask off the lines I would be coloring in . I used my Copics for the coral one ( R12,R02) . I then masked off the area that I would be applying the Navy color to . I continued to do this for each stripe of color . 

For the pink version I colored with chalk ink .

 

I love these sweet little pandas from 

Craftin' Desert Divas

CDD Keeping Cool Linky Party

Happy Monday everyone ! 

It is the second week of the

Craft It Up & Link It Up 

"Keeping Cool" Linky Party

Share with us all your

 keeping cool crafty creations. 

Think water, ice cream or anything you can think of.

I was super happy to have a bit of free time , my hubby was on vacation ( as you can imagine we were super busy all week) ! 

I did a water colored background shaker card 

(that is a mouthful,lol) .

As I warned you I will be using the beautiful 

CDD

Fancy Frames Dies a lot !!!! 

I really can't help myself ! 

I began by getting my water colors and doing the

smooshing technique 

( not sure if that is correct ,lol ) .
Basically , you get the colors you will be using ,

in my case I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed 

and I rub a bit of the ink directly onto my craft mat ,

then I spray a bit of clean water over the inked areas .

Next, I place my water color paper over the

watery ink on my craft mat .

I repeat the process a couple more times ,

until I achieve the desired water colored background .

I do let the water color dry in between . 

I also did the same technique for the beach waves ,

for the waves I used 

Tim Holtz 

Distress Inks in

Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, 

and a small amount of 

Peacock Feathers. 

 I used the CDD
Outdoor Landscape dies
to die cut my waves .

This party sponsors are...

TCBJ - $25 gift card.

(regular priced patterns)

I hope you will join us and share your Keeping Cool projects !

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !
