TSG180 Dress up your coloring



     This week our There She Goes challenge is brought to us by Debby!  She has challenged us to make a card or project using some medium to dress up your coloring! Whether you use Stickles, Crystal Effects, Diamond Glaze, glitter, gel pens, glace, liquid pearls…just anything to make your normal coloring that much more!
     I have used several things on this card.  For the cake, I used Liquid Applique for the icing and then added dots of red paint for the cherries.  There is Glossy Accents on the flame and the little chef's buttons.  Last but not least is the checked strip at the bottom.  That's actually one of the stamps that comes in this set, A Little Treat, at the TSG store.  I stamped the pattern onto white card stock and them re-stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Gives the feel of the floors in the old diners or drug stores. ☺  Wish you could see all this better than the photo shows.
     To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project using this dress it up challenge, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (November 12th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!
     By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the lookout to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :) 
     You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG180 so we can check out your beautiful work!
     You can hop on over to the blog to see the inspiration created by the rest of the team.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Make It Monday--anythings goes

  29. Tracy , they invented the saying "everyone's a winner " just for you , wow each card is so different and each one amazing .
    Thank you for your lovely comment, I now know that health matters , I have been pretty scared over the past few weeks as my memory , my concentration and health took a dive after the fall. Am getting there slowly and with the help of all my friends at home and in blogland . At least crafting is such a good therapy. Tracy I can only aspire to be as great as you though .
    Biggest hugs Elaine
