Something New at OSAAT

My "new" item is the gold-and-glitter peel-off stickers. I also used a new transfer sheet to make this New Year's shaker card using A Toast from Reece's Scrap Pieces as well as this great freebie sentiment from Coosty Creations.

I filled the card with a mix of clear & gold microbeads.

Gone Fishin' with OSAAT

This week at One Stitch at a Time (OSAAT), our theme is Anything Goes. StitchyBear's Digi Outlet has hundreds of digital products from many wonderful artists, and if you use one of our products you'll be entered to win the super-duper June prize pack of 7 digis. If you don't use a store image, you'll still be in the drawing to win a $3 gift certificate.

My teamie CraftyGirl chose this fun set for us to work with, Fishn with Ole Rover Stamp Pack #2 by Reece's Scrap Pieces, so I made this Shadowbox card:

I used the Shadowbox Card tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers, but I changed dimensions to 4.25 inches tall by 7.5 wide, scoring each long end at .75 and 1.25 inches. I cut the hole with a PageMaps die on my BigShot. The green base and blue background are Core'Dinations cardstocks. All the patterned papers, including the paper-pieced overalls, are by SMIRK. Mom sent me the actual fishing net as well as this adorable fishing pole sticker from Little B.

I colored this adorable image with Copics, using the Blender Texture technique for Ole Rover's fur. The sentiment is from the same Reece's Scrap Pieces set; I inked it with my Antique Linen distress ink pad and filled in the letters with a black PITT pen and a Sakura glitter pen.

Here's the back with a message section:

Time for a new challenge at OSAAT!

It's time for a new "Use a Digi" challenge at One Stitch at a Time, the DT/Challenge blog for StitchyBear's Digi Outlet. Wow, can you believe I've been on the OSAAT team for over two years‽ From my first project to this one, I've had tons of creative fun. Also, there have been some changes to the StitchyBear sites, including a groovy new site design and an updated Design Team page.

This week I got to choose the image for myself as well as my teamies Vicky & Jennie, so we're using Leaving the Nest by Reece's Scrap Pieces: 

The sentiment stamp is from a CTMH set. The wooden clock face & bird are from Prima; I colored the bird with a blue glaze pen (Sakura). The metal clock face behind the star is from the Paper Studio.

I'm entering this card into the following fabulous challenges:

1. ABC Challenges: Use 1-2-3 of something
• 1 ribbon
• 2 blue embellishments (gem star, and wooden bird colored with glaze pen)
• 3 clock faces
2. Cards in Envy: Things with Wings (this has several layers, but it's still relatively light and definitely under the required thickness)
3. Crafty Bloggers Network: Anything Goes 
4. Pattie's Creations: Make It Sparkle + Image (There's lots of sparkle on this...the image also has gold and glitter ink on it)
5. Sparkle N Sprinkle: Use a Digital Image
6. Stamp n Doodle: Anything Goes
7. There She Goes: Just Because
