With sympathy - TSOT702

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

The designer paper is a digital kit from Pink Monarch Prints. I just got a Canon G6020 printer that has the refillable ink cartridges and two ways of putting paper through the printer. It works on all types of paper (even cardstock) and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to buy it!  Highly recommend.

Leaf die is an old one from Memory Box.

Here is the link to play with the above sketch - hope to see you over there.

Sending you a paper hug

Hello. I'm playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch with this card.

The sentiment is from The Ton and I stamped it in mocha ink from Simon Says Stamp.  The leaf dies are from Jillian Vance Designs. I used Distress Oxide ink to color them, except for the oak leaf.  That used SSS inks.  

The designer paper in the back is a digital that I've had printed up in my stash.  Added some jute ribbon on top and then stacked the leaves to it with foam tape.  The outline stitched die is and old one from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday - SSC392

Hello!  We have a new sketch challenge up over at Sunday Stamps today.  It's a good one!

The leaf stamp is an old red rubber stamp from Rubbernecker stamps (now Brass & Bliss). I used Eucalyptus ink from C&9 to stamp it onto a card base.  The cardstock behind the image is also from C&9 and it matches the ink.  The birthday stamp is Globeland off of Amazon. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Get well soon

Hello. I finally got my new Paperartsy set designed by Alison Bomber and was playing around with it and a new stencil from Studio Light and came up with this.

I used walnut distress ink with the stencil, then stamped the tallest grass stamp over it.  Get well sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

I'm entering this into the following challenges.

Simply Clean & Simple - nature

CAS on Friday - get well

Masculine Happy Birthday - TSOT701

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

I created the background paper using Paperartsy infusions. The stamps used in the background are from Sweet Miss Daisy Designs. 

The cogs are die cuts that are sprayed with the infusions, then highlighted with Lisa Horton waxes.  Some of the cogs and the chain are from Stampin Up! Birthday sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.

Here is the link to play along.

Merry Christmas - SSC391

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  The sketch is a square card this go around.

The background was created using a lot of different mediums onto a master board.  It includes gesso, paint and paperatsy infusions, stamps, stencils etc.  I used the blanket-stitched dies from Pink Fresh Studio to cut the squares out. 

The snowflakes dies from My Favorite Things and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  

Here is the sketch.

Jolly wishes - TSOT700

Hello and welcome back to another Christmas in July sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

The background snowflake stamp is from Rubbernecker stamps. I stamped it in white and then heat embossed it in fine white detail embossing powder.  I drew lines with a white gel pen per the sketch.

The snowflake is a die from Trinity Stamps, and the wonderful Santa and sentiment is from Avery Elle.  He is colored with Copic Markers.
