Happy HP Friday crafters!
OMG! I was so excited to see this on Cricut this morning, I just had to share. They have Chibi Harry Potter. There are 67 images that are SVG cut files. I can see adorable cards coming in the future! Had to share!
Is everyone ready for some green beer on the 17th??? This little gnome is!
My gnome comes from Cricut access and then inked with corresponding Distress Oxide colors. Versamark ink and puff embossing powder was used for the beer foam. His background is a combination of Distress Inks (Speckled Egg, Squeezed Lemonade, Rustic Wilderness). A little stitching was added for some interest. After which, some horseshoes and clovers were added with a Makira-made stencil and translucent DO grit paste; Green was added with Rustic Wilderness distress crayon. Gold splatter was added with gold watercolor and Rubin Buff gold leaf. The sentiment and clovers were cut out of some green cardstock. Gold leaf was added to the sentiment as well. Add a green and yellow frame and you are ready to celebrate.

“A poisoned apple! Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! One taste of the Poisoned Apple, and the victim’s eyes will close forever in the Sleeping Death. Dip the apple in the brew. Let the Sleeping Death seep through.” – Evil Queen
The recipe, you desire? You sure? Hopefully no draught of living death here:
Ingredients:
Prep Time: 20 minutes Craft Time: 1 day-ish Yield: 1 card
Directions:
Spray the Red Warm Tim Holtz Cardstock with a very liberal layer of Candied Apple Red Distressed Ink and allow to dry. The dry time is many hours ( think 6+), however, it will dry. Print the Digi image from The Graphics Fairy on craft card stock. Apply Distressed crayon in Bubling Cauldron using the stencil over the printed Digi image to achieve the background. Use the Time Holtz Green Cold Cardstock in combination with his Poison embossing folder to add a second layer. Then use a mixture of Candied Apple Red and Aged Mahogany on the embossed paper to give it a slight red tint. By now the red cardstock should be dry, using the Cricut and SVG files, cut it out along with the lime green to form the apple. The SVG is available through Cricut. Liberally apply Peeled Paint Distressed Ink and Bubling Cauldron Distress Mica Spray to the lime green cut cardstock. While still wet, add the hot glue to the edges to form the ooze. Immediately after adding the glue, with the ink still somewhat wet, use your embossing gun or heat tool to melt the glue; this will help incorporate the ink into the glue to give it the green ooze look. Type your sentiment and cut it to size with a paper trimmer. Use Aged Mahogony Distress Oxide Ink to ink the sides of your sentiment. Last, just some glue to put the layers together.

Inspiration Card: The Colorful Options Challenge – olive and lime green
This cute little fairy home was brought to life by Eden. As Lawn Fawn products are her favorite stamps, she chose Fairy Friends and Frosty Fairy Friends to create her scene. The images were stamped with Ink on 3 disappearing ink and then colored with a varitey of Prismacolored pencils. The tree and bushes were painted using Distressed Oxide Rustic Wilderness paint and decorative moss as her sponge. Why moss…. why not? She thought that the the moss would create the mossy forest effect she had envisioned.
This is Eden’s contribution to the Colorful options Challenge. It’s time for another month and another color challenge at the Colorful Options Challenge. This month, can you guess? The color is GREEN!
To check out the challenge, just click on the photo above or below. Our color this month is green… ANY green. Remember, the color does NOT need to be monochromatic; just the primary color needs to be a shade of green. If you do not like green, a card with a rainbow of colors is also welcome. Hope to see everyone’s makes soon! Cheers! Eden

My Colorful Options cards involved lots of inky fun. I was inspired by a Tim Holtz technique video using stencils with spray stains. The sprays used with the stencil were Distressed Inks-Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness with a little Bubbling Cauldron to add some shine and shimmer. The birthday card’s background had an initial layer of Distressed Oxide in Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters prior to stenciling. Adding color to the butterflies was done by the addition of ink to the embossing folder.
