Hi There!
Hope this finds you doing well.
I was invited by my friend, Jeanne Jachna (doesn't she have an awesome first name?) to be a guest designer for The 12 Kits of Occasions Challenge for January, 2019. I was very flattered to be asked and surprised myself by agreeing to participate. The theme is Good Fortune and I received a lot of fun goodies with an Asian theme. You can see them in the graphic below.
The challenge is very low stress and there aren't really many rules. I could create just one card if I wanted or more. I could supplement with my own stash if I wanted. The goal is just to have fun.
And I decided not to over think this at all and do just that; have fun.
I came up with 4 cards and I still have supplies left to make more if I want.
On this one, I colored the images with my Copics and added Distress ink in Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass to the punched circles to make it look like the outdoors. I followed sketch #33 from Reverse Confetti.
When I saw the blue embossed cardstock and the circular gold die cut, I knew I had to use them together. The animal/dragon(?) is colored with metallic watercolors from my stash.
I loved the cherry blossom paper and I couldn't resist making a shaker with the die cut piece included. I added some Spun Sugar to the cloud like shapes.
And finally, Jessica really like the little Ninjas, so I had to color them up. I had some fun making an night sky including my poor attempt at adding "stars" with white acrylic paint "splatter." Jessica said some of them look like shooting stars. LOL I'll take it! Anyway, I had fun coloring them with Copics and adding some Wink of Stella to the headbands and trim. The mountains have some Winking, too, but you can't really see it.
So there you have my efforts at the January 2019 12 Kits of Occasions.
Thanks so much, Jeanne for asking me to play along.
I hope you enjoyed my creations.
I had a lot of fun making these cards.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
Crafty hugs!
