Just for you - TSOT658

Hi and welcome to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. 


I used a Penny Black embossing folder to emboss the circle.  The greenery around it comes from several different companies. Lawn Fawn, memory box, Echo Park, etc. 

The cream cardstock is from Papertrey Ink.  The rectangle dot die is from My Favorite Things, and gets a good workout from me. This one and the stitched die are pretty much a staple in all my cardmaking.  Do you have any that get a good workout too?

Thanks

Hello. Here is the new prompt for you to use at The Flower Challenge blog.  We are looking for "thanks" this go around.


The rose stamp is an old red rubber one from Gray Wolf Graphics. I colored it with Copic Markers. I got lucky and found a piece of cardstock to layer it with.  Added a thanks die cut using some glossy black cardstock.  The dot rectangle dies are from MFT.

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:
Tic Tac Toe challenge (see graphic below)
My time to craft - winter animals
Jingle bells - not a creature was stirring
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

Winter scene

Hello. Playing around with the Stampember Gina K stamp set called stay cozy.


I created the hills using a sheet of copy paper cut into curves and Simon Say Stamp saturated ink and a blending brush. The fir, tall trees and deer are all stamped in Versavine black onyx ink.  The moon is done with SSS ink. Once I stamped the fir trees, I used a prismacolor pencil to draw in the shadows.  

The stitched outline cover die is from My Favorite Things.


Thanks for stopping by.

Simple things - SSC347

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the inspiration color prompt photo.

 


 I decided to create a specimen tag using some dried lavender for this color prompt challenge.  The purples called out to me for some reason. 

I randomly stamped the lavender on the purple card base using an older stamp from Technique Tuesdays greenhouse society line.  I used some of that fantastic cello tape from Tim Holtz to hold down the lavender. I then stamped some script onto the white tag using shaded lilac oxide ink. Added some rub-ons and fibers that matched the cardstock and called it good.

Season's Greetings

Hello. I'm playing in the clean and simple challenge of Tag, you're it over at The Paper Players today.

I upcycled a Lucky Brands tag from a pair of purchased jeans.








The snowflake die is from Echo Park. The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink and I used an old 5 x 7 Provo Craft snowflake embossing folder for the background.  

I used a frost spritz spray on the snowflakes and in real life they are so sparkly, but hard to capture on camera. 

Thanks for stopping by!
