Sending hugs - SSC382

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

I ink blended an oval for the background and raised the sentiment panel a bit for this one. I used Simon Says Stamp marine blue ink and stenciled through a die cut oval first. Then I stamped the flower branch through it as well. The stamp is from Alison Bombers Paper Artsy collection, and I used Tombow markers and huffed on them to stamp.

Sentiment is from The Stamp Market. The little banner die is from Technique Tuesday.

Hope you join us for this sketch challenge. 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!

Just because - SSC369

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. This week we have a photo prompt for you.

I used dark blue paper in three shades behind the white leaf outline, but it's so hard to tell in the photo. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market. The leaf dies are from Gina K Designs. I used three blue gems from Honey Bee Stamps in the middle of the leaves.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Bee-Day

Hello. I'm playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I recently picked up a new set of clear stamps at Michaels (their Recollections line) that mostly featured bugs. I was drawn to the bee and dragonfly in the set. Anywho, here is the bee stamped and embossed so that I could color it with Copics. I fussy-cut it out and popped it up on top of the honeycomb with foam tape.

The designer paper is from Moda Scrap, and the sentiment is from Woodware.

Thanks for popping in to take a look.

Sending a little note

Hello. I'm participating in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches today. What I had in mind and what I ended up with were very far apart. LOL.

The eucalyptus paper is from Concord & 9th. I cut apart the distress brick die cut from Picket Fence to work in both squares. The leaf branch is cut from both black and eucalyptus paper and layered together so it stands out a bit more. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market, and the small dragonfly is an oldie but goodie from Memory Box.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happiest of Birthdays - SSC357

Hello. Time for another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. The challenge is a color or inspiration photo using the prompt below.

I decided to go with the grapes and created a wine label using Bing A.I. I printed it out on 80lb cardstock and used a label die from PTI to cut it out.

The grape leaf dies are from Memory Box. I highlighted them with inks and a white gel pen. The happiest of birthdays sentiment is from The Stamp Market. The inside of the card is below and the sentiment and wine bottle are from Hero Arts.

Thinking of you - TFC96

Hello! Welcome to another challenge over at The Flower Challenge blog. Here is the card I created for this month's challenge of adding a stencil.

The flowers and sentiment are from The Stamp Market. I used a stencil to color the flowers, then cut them out using the coordinated dies. The leaves on the tag are stenciled directly on it, then I arranged the flowers over them. For the background, I used a dotted quilted stencil and some glossy stencil paste from Dreamweaver. The tag die is from Gummiapan, and the tag reinforcer and ribbon are colored with a Copic marker.

Here is the cue card for this month’s challenge.

You're some kind of wonderful

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today. I don’t know if the leaves are starting to change where you are, but here in the PNW, they are due to a lack of water.

I used the smallest leaf die in the TH skeleton leaves dies by Sizzix. I started with designer paper from craft consortium and then added a bit of distress oxide inks to highlight them. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market. The dotted outline cover die is from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending hugs

Hello all - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #626 today.

The flower die is from The Stamp Market. I cut it up to sorta resemble the sketch below. The centers are blended with sky color fuse ink from Brass & Bliss. Then I dotted the centers with a yellow acrylic marker from Altenew. Popped a few of the flowers up with foam squares for a bit of dimension.

The dragonfly die and stencil set is from The Greetery. I used Simon Says pawsitively saturated ink in seafoam and surf to color it, then popped it up with foam tape over the flowers. I did add some wink of stella to the wings for some sparkle, but it's so darn hard to photograph. The sentiment is from Avery Elle, and the embossing folder is from Darice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cheer

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

Here is another card that I created, which is to use gold.

I used a poinsettia die from SSS to cut out the flower and leaves. Then added some gold using some gilding wax. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and is embossed with gold and layered with gold mirrored cardstock. I also added some gold self-adhesive pearls and gold sparkle embroidery thread.
