You are capable

Hello. I'm participating in a mixed-media altered index card challenge today. This is week 2 of the 2025 altered index challenge, and the prompt calls for butterflies. However, my take on the challenge is singular. 

The butterfly die and distress diamond stencil are from Memory Box. The brick stamp in the background comes from the Sam Poole collection at Creative Expressions. After adding a layer of gesso, I used antique linen and speckled egg distress colors on the background of the index card. The final pop of color comes from a spritz of speckled egg spray that I let run down the surface.  

The finishing touches are black splatters and a sentiment sticker from small talk idea-ology stickers from Tim Holtz.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi There - TSOT661

Hi everyone. There is a new challenge up today over at Try A Sketch on Tuesday.

I used an old stamp from The Angel Company to stamp the sprigs using Eucalyptus ink from Concord & 9th.  I also did a lot of direct-to-paper inking for the left-hand strip and the layers, using the same ink color.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and the embossing folder is from Stampin Up!  Below is the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday SSC351

Hello. Welcome back to another challenge at Sunday Stamps. This week, we have a photo prompt inspiration for you to use. 

The stencil and headphone die are from My Favorite Things. I used Simon Say Stamp ink to blend out the equalizer colors. The birthday sentiment is from Avery Elle, and I stamped it using Mocha ink rather than black. 

Here is the photo prompt.

Flakes - SSC350

Hello. Welcome back. Today over at Sunday Stamps we have a sketch to play with.

This card took me way tooooo long to make. LOL.  

The snowflake background stitched die is from Waffleflower.  The top hat is a die from Jaded Blossom and the sentiment is from a retired company called There she Goes stamps.  I used black rhinestones for the eyes on the snowman and cut the noses out of scrap orange paper. 

Below is the sketch for you. Thanks for stopping by.

Season's greetings - TFC98

Hello.  Here is your reminder post regarding The Flower Challenge's current sparkle challenge. 

I used the same die but added a lot of rock candy glitter. The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. 

Thanks for stopping by.

So sorry

Hi everyone, I'm playing in the TGIF #503 sketch challenge today. I decided to do a non-holiday card. 

The fern stamp is from Waffle Flower. I stamped it in artichoke ink from Simon Says Stamp. I liked the color so much that I decided to ink blend the back rectangles and the back layering piece in the same color. 

The sentiment is from Gina K and the stitched cover die is from My Favorite Things.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

Joy - TFC98

Hello! There is a new challenge up over at The Flower challenge. We are looking for you to add some sparkle to your flower creations.  

I used the Joy die from Penny Black as an anchor for this holographic poinsettia. I colored the silver paper using alcohol inks. In real life, it really sparkles.  The background is embossed with snow embossing powder through a snow stencil.
