Nailed it - TSOT659

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge for Try A Sketch On Tuesday. 


The stamps are from Technique Tuesday. I fussy cut two of the nails to use behind the sentiment panel. The self-adhesive silver pearls are supposed to resemble nails as well. I specifically used an odd number of them, but looking at it now, maybe I should have added that last one to balance it out. What do you think?

Here is the sketch.

This flower stamp is from Concord & 9th. I used simon says stamp saturated ink with the stencils to color it. I also used a black gel pen to highlight the stamins. The thank you sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Merry Christmas

Hello. Playing in the snow challenge over at Addicted to CAS today.


I used a stencil and Lisa Hortoncraft premium dye metallic pigment ink in silver to create the main snowy panel. I also embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder for additional dimension. The panel is popped up with a piece of fun foam. 

The Merry Christmas sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp and cut out of silver cardstock.  I did back it with vellum that I added a bit of sparkle to with a wink of Stella pen. Lastly, I spritzed it with sparkle shimmer spray, which of course does not show up in the photo. 

Thanks for stopping by.

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:
