Happy Anniversary - SSC378

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. We have a photo prompt this time.



The heart die is from Echo Park.  It's all one die and can be used so many different ways. Used up a bit of cardstock scraps on it too! The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by.

You can do great things

Hello all - Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.


The stamps and dies are from Pink and Main called Pretty Peony.  I watercolored the peonies with Sandy Allnocks palette from Daniel Smith.  I found the dsp in my stash of paper and thought it went really well behind the peonies and worked well with the sentiment as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hello! I'm playing in the hand stamped sentiments challenge today.  It's an inspiration challenge from the graphic below.



The dies are from Stampin Up! I cut them out of silver cardstock and then used mushroom and turquoise alcohol inks to distress the gears.  The sentiment stamp is from Poppy stamps and the wonderful designer paper is from craft consortium. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter wishes - TSOT687

Hello. There is a new sketch up over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday and it's a fun one!


I obviously flipped it to take advantage of more space to work with on this sketch.  The houses, church and tree dies are from Gina K Designs.  The mountain dies are very old and I cannot remember where they are from, if I had to guess, it would be MFT. 

Ink blended the sky and mountains using Distress inks.  I did put some gold sparkly vellum behind the buildings to represent lights. 

Hope you play along with us by linking up here!
Take care.

Sending birthday wishes

Hello. Playing in a few challenges with this card.


I recently added the texturize it 2 set from LDRS to my collection and this was the result of me playing with the set.  

I also added the dots using a stencil and embossing paste for added dimension.  The flower die is from Simon Says Stamp and the square stitched dot dies are from Jillian Vance Designs.  Lastly, the sentiment is from The Ton.

Adding this card to the following challenges:

Just a note

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.


The tag die is from Brass and Bliss which I used it to cut out a book page.  The stencil is from Tim Holtz, it's the mini one #THMS070.  I used it with texture paste on the card base and the tag, then also used it to emboss the horizontal panel behind the tag. The ribbon on the tag was colored using the BG7.3 marker from Olo, which matched fairly well.  The distress spray ink on the tag is stormy sky. 

Thanks for stopping by.
