Just a note TFC#103

Hello everyone! We have a new challenge over at The Flower Challenge. We want to see embossing, either heat or dry.  

I used an embossing folder from Spellbinders that I've had for a bit but haven't used.

The flower stamp is from Just for Fun. I used Tombow markers to color directly on the stamp and reactivated the ink by huffing on it.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Hi everyone. I spent yesterday at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and spent way too much money. However, here is one of the stamp and stencil sets I purchased from The Ton.

I used color fuse inks from Brass and Bliss with the stencil first, then stamped over it with the outline stamp.  The thanks sentiment is part of the set.

I'm entering this into the following challenge.

Hello! Here is another sketch challenge for you to play with from Try A Sketch on Tuesday.

I used an old background that I had in my stash.  It appears that I used distress ink in speckled egg and antique linen. The marbled stamp is from Kaisercraft, and it is stamped in Hickory Smoke archival ink. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

I used a deckled tearing ruler from KW-triO to tear the background as per the sketch below. 

There are a lot of possibilities with this sketch. Link up here, and thanks for stopping in.

With Sympathy - SSC361

Hello. I'm the hostess for the sketch challenge this time around over at Sunday Stamps. Here is the card that I created first, which inspired the sketch.

The leaf is ink-blended through a stencil using Simon Says Stamps ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I kept this clean and simple as sympathy cards sort of need to be that way, in my opinion.    Below is the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your inspired by the sketch.

Congrats - TFC#102

Hello. Here is another take on this month's Flower Challenge of adding spots or stripes to your creation.

The flower die is from The Ton, and I used Simon Says Stamp inks to color the paper once cut.  The congrats sentiment is from Studio Calico.  The striped designer paper is from My Favorite Things.

Here is the link for you to play along!

Thanks for stopping in. 

Sending paper hugs

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this card today.

I smooched distress oxide and distress ink onto watercolor paper using a piece of acetate to create this dreamy background.  The white heat embossed script stamp is an old one from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps. 

I splattered some black paint before adding the dragonfly die cuts and their blue vellum shadows. Lastly, I added some dewdrops, which are hard to see unless you enlarge the photo. 

This card is for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - things with wings

Dream Valley Challenge - things with wings

Happy Birthday - TSOT#670

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try A Sketch on Tuesday. 

The birthday sentiment is from Poppy Stamps. The gear border die is from Memory Box, and I enhanced it using distress inks to resemble rusty and oxidized gears. The stripes on the left side are done using a pin-dot border die—you might need to enlarge the photo to see them.
