Happy Birthday - SSC388

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

First of all, the textured embossing folder is from Honey Bee stamps. The flowers are a stencil from Taylored Expressions, I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks throughout.  I cut one of the stencil panels apart to fit the back layer in the back to make everything fit.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower stamps. 

I hope you join us.  Here is the link to play in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Grill master

Hello. I'm playing in several Masculine theme challenges today.

Nothing like an apron full of Grill utensils to wish a guy a Happy Birthday.  Stamps and dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, except for the Happy Birthday - which is from Jaded Blossom.  Plaid designer paper is from Papertrey, Ink. 

I made a hinge to connect two aprons together for this card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hi there. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The confetti in the background is done using Simon says stamp ink and the confetti stencil from Waffle flower stamps. The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms.  I also used some thin black washi tape to create the separation on the card. 

I created the balloons using a large round ballon die (didn't fit on the card) just for the "tie," then a circle die, and piece them together.  Added on the string, bows and a white gel pen highlight and called it good.  All balloon dies are from My Favorite Things. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Let it bee

Hi. I decided to play with this week's Freshly Made Sketch again and came up with this.

I tore my stamps apart looking for a specific stamp and die set for the bee, and frustratingly, never found it.  Ended up fussy cutting this one from Recollections.  I added color using Copic markers and the wings have sparkle spritz on them.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions, and the die is from Brass & Bliss. I had a yellow background already created in my background stash, so added that behind the dots.  The line of dots that is supposed to resemble the flight of the bee is done using a sewing tracing wheel in black ink. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello

Hello! I'm playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch. This is such a creative one too!

I had created this slide with dried flowers and misc stamps (Tim Holtz) a while back. Decided to put it to use with this sketch and lighten the stash level. The hello is also a rub on from TH.

The background was created with an old stamp from Rubbernecker called watercolor background set. I used Simon Says Stamp ink in dew. The black stitches are a die from AALL & create. I did piece them together to create longer strings, if you will.

A deckled edge rectangle die mimics the stitching and tie it all together.

Thanks for stopping by.
