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.  

Thank you very much - SSC359

Hello and welcome. We have a new sketch challenge up over at Sunday Stamps today.  Here is what I did with it.

The flower dies are from The Ton called radiant roses.  I used neenah solar white cardstock to cut the layers out.  Next came some coloring using simon says stamp inks and a blending brush.  The sentiment is also from The Ton.  The background is an unbranded script embossing folder. 

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Happy Easter TSOT#668

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

The bunny is a stencil I picked up from A colorful life stencils (I think).  The sentiment is an old one from the former Angel Company.  I added some cute clay pastel swirl mix from Pretty Pink Posh to mimic Easter Candy. 

Here is the sketch and you can link up here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care of yourself

Hi all. Playing in the Just Add Ink Swirls challenge today.

I used Tim Holtz's Baroque swirl stamp from Stampers Anonymous to stamp the swirl onto watercolor paper. I really loved how it came out, so I decided to cut it down into sections to fit onto an A2 card.  I used dark navy cardstock to layer the panels.  The sentiment is from Pink and Main.  

Thanks for stopping by.
