From me to you

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with some new dies and stamps from Gummiapan.

The heart tag and the notebook border are new as is the type background stamp.  I used it on the smaller heart dies (PTI) as well, using antique linen oxide ink. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see that.  The sentiment stamps on the heart tag are from The Stamp Market and the xoxo is from Whimsy stamps.  

I used walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the type panel and added the small bow to the tag and called this done.

By the way, Color Me Nordic is a US based online store for Gummiapan dies, stamps and they're also carrying Craft Addiction UK dies too.  

Thanks for stopping by.

CAS - Happy Birthday

Hello. I'm playing in three challenged today with the following card.

I started off with the sketch over at Just Add Ink.  Then worked in some heat embossing, red and kept it clean and simple for the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. Also adding it into the double trouble challenge. 

The flower stamp and die is from Altenew. I used Olo markers to color it.  The round die in the back is from Craft Addiction UK and the birthday sentiment is an off brand from Amazon that Crissy Stokes recommended.

Fly away

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today using this grungy card.

The designer paper is from Memory-place called visionaries. I cut it to fit the sketch and distressed it and inked the edges.  Added it to a top folding cream card base and layer, that I also distressed.  I have an old making memories distress tool that got a good work out on this card.  The ink I used to distress everything in is walnut stain. 

The stamps in the background match the designer paper somewhat.  The type stamp is from Papertrey, Ink and I used antique linen to stamp it in.  The dots are from Tim Holtz and stamped in Cocoa ink from Simon Says Stamp.  Lastly, the fly away sentiment is from Woodware.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Have a wonderful day - TSOT#694

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

I went with a subtle take on the designer paper using a sky/cloud piece from the Craft Consortium.  The flower dies are from Gummiapan.  I used a bit of silver embossing powder around the holes in the flowers to give it a bit more dimension and interest.  Sentiment is from The Ton and the stitched cover die is from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Believe in yourself

Hello. Playing with the latest sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I used items from Simon Says Stamp A little artsy Card Kit. The sentiment is also from Simon but out of the Artful Pallet kit.

I did add a strip of Tim Holtz black cardstock along the side of the designer paper out of the kit.  I like how it defined the paper. The daisy is colored using SSS ink with a blending brush using the stencil that came in the kit.  Lastly, I added a few paint splatters. 

Thanks for stopping by.
