Wishing you a beautiful day

Hello. The new sketch challenge over at The Paper Players caught my attention today, and I used it on this card.

My daffodils are almost ready to bloom (early in the PNW this year) and decided to use them as a focal point on this card.  The stamp is an old greenhouse society one from Technique Tuesday and I colored it with Olo markers.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps.  The designer paper in the background is also from an older Fancy Pants 6 x 6 pad. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello - SSC380

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  It's anything goes with the sketch below! 

I went with a ladybug theme.  Designer paper is from Echo Park and I believe the washi tape is as well.  The hello die is from CZ Designs.

The little ladybug in the center of the O is an old die from Memory Box.  Here is a photo of the washi tape inside of the card.  

Hope you join us over at Sunday Stamps for this challenge.  Thanks for stopping in.

Hello and welcome back to another card sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is an awesome way to use up some designer paper scraps.  

I used distress inks to blend the background of the panel sitting on top of all the designer papers. All of those papers were in my blue scrap pile.  The sentiment and dies are from CZ Designs from Simon Says Stamp.

Here is the link to join the challenge - and remember to use up those scraps!

Happy Birthday

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

I started off with the sketch over at Just add Ink.  The fern is a very old rubber stamp from the former Angel Company.  I stamped it in juniper dye ink from Simon Says Stamp.  The birthday sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. I heat embossed it with alabaster embossing powder from Brutus Munroe.  The circle "31" is made using a jump ring and glossy accents over a section of a numbered dsp that I had in my stash.

Here are the challenges for this card.

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Use up your scraps! 

I used up some scraps that I had from the daisy dsp paper pack from Moda Scrap.  The daisy die is from The Stamp Market, and the "thanks" die is from Altenew.  Yep, that is vellum that the daisy is attached to.  I wanted to make the DSP visible so that it all ties together. 

The sketch is intended to be a scrap buster, so hope to see your cards over at Sunday Stamps! 

Take Care!

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is a fun Valentines Day sketch or switch it up!

I used a heart die from Pink and Main and stamped on it using the same swirl stamp from inkadinkado as in the background.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

You can link up here.  Hope to see you over there!

You're a true inspiration

Hi! I'm playing in the Freshly Made Challenge paired with the color challenge over at Just add Ink.

The butterfly die is from Memory Box (it's an old one). I used the color inspiration below to ink blend Simon says stamp ink on the solid layer of the butterfly.  The designer paper is an old one from Bazzill basics, which happened to match the old cuttlebug daisy embossing folder.  The only new supply on this card is the sentiment, which is a press plate from Altenew. 

Entering this into SSS anything goes challenge today too!  Thanks for stopping by!
