Facebook Challenge for April by Dianna

Hi everyone, Dianna here with a new Tag for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Craft Group Monthly Challenge.  The first of each month there is a new challenge.   This month's Challenge is an Inspirational Challenge, anything to do with spring.

All you have to do is become a member of the Craft Group on Facebook and submit your entry.  The winning entry will receive a $10.00 gift certificate to Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.

I painted the tag with white acrylic paint then punched a 3 inch scalloped circle and used it to daub clouds with three different colors of blue ink and a purple ink.  I then used the scalloped circle and texture paste to create the swirls.  I painted the grass with apple green paint and distressed the grass with green ink.  I painted the kite, little dancer, flower and spring with white acrylic paint.  I used Copic Markers to create the dress.  The trick is not to let the markers dry but keep going over it with different color to get the flowing dress.  I used chalk ink on the kite, flower and spring.  

I used the pictures below as my inspiration for my April Tag

Thank you for looking!

All Boy Layout by Shanna

Howdy there space cowboys/girls....Okay, well HELLO!!! I must admit even though I have a boy, I had no clue whatsoever on what to do with the All Boy Shape Set. I was determined to use them and a long time ago I remembered I got this paper pad and I had an AAA HA moment. You know how excited you get when you have that LIGHT BULB moment. So I found picture of my kiddo and got to work on this layout.

I painted all the chipboard pieces with Distress Paints! It gives this marble effect to the planet.

I painted the spaceship with a flat gray then a silver metallic paint for a shiny spaceship.

This title truly rocks and is just above beyond exactly what my son is.

I added a bit of gesso splatter and silver shimmer splatter across the layout for just a little more splash.

Play Hard

Hello everyone!!  Debbie with you today to share a layout of one of America's favorite past times.  I come from a long line of baseball players in my family.  My dad coached my brother who was a wild left handed pitcher.  When I met my husband he informed me that he played with my brother. Although my brother was younger, they were able to play on the same team for a bit.  So not only did I grow up watching baseball, I married a man who also loves baseball.  The photo is of my brother's son who also plays baseball. The thing I remember most is that they all played hard...they gave it everything they had, 110%  which made them all great players.

I used the All Boy Shape set for this project.

To alter the words I  simply painted them black and highlighted them with Viva Inka Rub in

gold and silver.

Masculine Cards

Hi! Lynne here with a couple cards made with some fun chipboard from Gina's Designs. Some ladies at my church were asking for donations of homemade cards for their visitation to people who are ill, in nursing homes or otherwise shut-in, and I realized that of the ones I had that were already made, almost none were really suitable for men. I pulled out some papers that I thought had a masculine feel and had a great time creating these. 

I love the layered balloon element. The delicate chipboard piece is offset perfectly by the corrugated cardboard. All I did was paint them with acrylic paint.The kite was painted as well, then stamped with one of the new Prima stamps by Finnabair - I love the grungy effect it creates! The other elements were covered with paper and then I inked the edges. I kept the cards fairly flat to fit into envelopes.

Thanks so much for your visit; have a wonderfully creative day!

No Girls Allowed!!

Hello friends! Kim here today, and  I have a very special little designer to share with you; my Grandson Brayden.

Brayden is 5 years old and loves to paint and color. When he came to my house for Christmas, he wanted to do some crafting. I got out the new boy's only set from Gina's and he decided to make a door plaque for his bedroom using the All Boy Shape Set and the door hanger.

He painted all the chipboard himself and choose all the colors that he liked. He wanted the robot piece to be holding a kite, and why not? Robots like kites too!

After all the pieces were painted, he chose two different blue colors of paint and mixed them up and painted the door hanger.  Once dried I helped him glue all the pieces on where he wanted them to go.

And here is the finished product! You can see he is very happy with the outcome!

I am very proud of my Grandson. He did a wonderful job on his door hanger. This is the wonderful thing about Gina's Chipboard items; they are great for any age to play with!
