Heartfelt thanks - TSOT692

Hello and welcome back to another sketch over at TSOT.

The stamps I used on the panels in the background are from Stampin Up! The sentiment is from Altenew's press plates sentiment series. I recommend checking them out, they are an investment, but well worth the money.

Here is the link to join in on the sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

ETA: Adding this into the following challenge.

Congratulations

I'm playing in a few challenges today with the following card.

I started with the stencil in the background from The Crafters Workshop. I used tumbled glass oxide ink and a blending brush to get the stained glass look from the stencil. Then I cut two skinny strips of black cardstock to frame it out.

The tulip stamp is from Papertrey, Ink and colored with Copic markers. The congratulations sentiment is from Altenew.

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch with the following card. I'm a bit late to the mix but found a tag in my stash of junk journal stuff that worked really well for this sketch. Of course, I had to cut it down to fit on a card front, but happy with it, nevertheless.

The tag itself is made from a paper towel roll. The designer paper I believe is actually rice paper. I did dig around in my stash to see if I could find it, but of course I was not successful.

The sentiment is from Altenew's one go solid sentiment press plate. Both the tag and the sentiment are popped up using foam tape.

Lastly, the addition on the top right of the tag is a skin I created using stencil butter that is adhered to a silicone mat that had wonderful texture to it. After it dried, it peeled right off and I glued it onto the tag.

Ribbon colored with Copic markers for the top of the tag.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks - SSC379

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. Use up your scraps!

I used up some scraps that I had from the daisy dsp paper pack from Moda Scrap. The daisy die is from The Stamp Market, and the "thanks" die is from Altenew. Yep, that is vellum that the daisy is attached to. I wanted to make the DSP visible so that it all ties together.

The sketch is intended to be a scrap buster, so hope to see your cards over at Sunday Stamps!

Take Care!

You're a true inspiration

Hi! I'm playing in the Freshly Made Challenge paired with the color challenge over at Just add Ink.

The butterfly die is from Memory Box (it's an old one). I used the color inspiration below to ink blend Simon says stamp ink on the solid layer of the butterfly. The designer paper is an old one from Bazzill basics, which happened to match the old cuttlebug daisy embossing folder. The only new supply on this card is the sentiment, which is a press plate from Altenew.

Entering this into SSS anything goes challenge today too! Thanks for stopping by!

Take care!

Hello. Playing in the Dragonfly Dreams tag challenge today with this card.

The tag is from Simon Says Stamp and distressed with walnut stain distress ink. The background is from a paper towel that I used to catch the "drips" from my Keurig coffee maker. I thought it would make a good background so I used some liquitex matte medium to adhere it to a card base.

Rose sticker is from my stash (might be from Arden creative)

Script stamp - MFT stamps

Tim Holtz old tape stickers

Altenew - Sentiment

Cotton frayed ribbon - Ribbli

Hello. Playing in the photo inspiration challenge today over at Just Add Ink.

I liked the leaves, coffee, and plaid in the photo below and incorporated them into my layout.

Hello

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this family of bears today.

I stamped, colored and cut out the bears from My Favorite Things to create this scene. I paper-pieced their scarves using plaid designer paper from Say it with stamps/photoplay's Holiday plaid 6x6 paper pad. The tree stamp is from Gina K Designs. I used distress oxide ink in tumbled glass and stenciled on the clouds in the background.

Finally added a bit of twine and a tag to say Hello. The hello sentiment is from Altenew and the tag die is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. I used foam squares to bring the bears up from the background. The stitched frame is cut three times and glued together as well.

Thanks for stopping in. I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Hello - TFC #91

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.

Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

This Altenew flower stamp is colored with Olo markers and fussy cut-out. The little hello stamp is also from Altenew. I matched the satin ribbon colors with the flowers by coloring with the same Olo markers onto white ribbon. The square dot die is embossed into the base panel instead of cutting it out.
