Crafter's Cafe Challenge #302 Flowers

 Hello friends.  I hope this post finds you well and warm.  It's rainy and windy here is Oregon.  I just got back from the grocery store.  It's Fall!!!  That means bean soup and some stew down the road.  Gosh I love this time of year.  So the theme for challenge #302 is Flowers.  We are teaming up with Double Trouble.

Here is the link:

Now we only have one sponsor for this challenge.  Here she is...

Beccy's Place
Prize~$10 Voucher

Gosh I love working with the images from Beccy's Place.  They are beautiful and print perfectly.  So please go share some love and say a quick thank you!  Thanks gang!

Now my image for the theme 'flowers' is Daisy Elements Digital stamp.  I have used the single Daisy and the sentiment 'Wishing you Sunshine & Daisies'.  Here is my project.

I have made a shaker card.  I colored the daisy with my 
Shuttle Art Alcohol Markers.  I set it aside and made a vase
and cut out 6 cardboard ones and glued them together
to make the shaker frame. I made the back of the vase and
the top layer out of metallic silver.  I dug around my embellies
and found some sequins and some little red circles.  Next I
added some little white beads and made sure I did not over
fill.  I used red card for the base and the envelope.  It is a 
slimline card.

I printed the sentiment on vellum and heat set it.  The 
background paper is from the Goddess of the Garden series
made by G45.

Finally the back.

Well that is my project for October 2023.  I'll be back next month with another project to give you inspiration.  So from my heart to yours...

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.

I have to say that these 3 sponsors are wonderful to work with and very generous.   Please go show some love and say thank you.  

My project is using an image from Last Minute Manda called Franky's Pumpkins Digital Stamps.  Most of you know that in my neighborhood I have 4 littles (kids) that I make holiday items for.  Well here is the 2023 edition of Halloween Baskets.

Here they are.  3 boys and 1 little girl Halloween Baskets.  The
basket SVG pattern is from Simply Crafty SVGS and is
called Gone Batty box.  This is a freebie  I colored each
Franky using a mix of Prismacolored pencils and Shuttle
 Art Alcohol Markers.  They werecut out and saved to grace the box. 
Each of the boxes have panels from Graphic 45 'Steampunk Spells'.  

Here are the first two.

Second two.

Here are the Batty Bats for the front.

They last two.  For the little girl I have used purple for the box
and put a pink bow on her bat.

So that is it for Halloween treats for the littles this year.  I may make 4 wrappers for the adults with a  big Hershey Bar.  I will think on that one.  I still have time.  

Please have a very safe and fun Halloween.  I won't be giving out candy.  But I will buy a sack at Costco of the ones hubby and I eat.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!
