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. 

Here is the link to play with our sketch challenge.

Wishing you a beautiful day

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

The bicycle dies are from Brass and Bliss. The cloud stencil is from A colorful life designs and the trees, bushes and hill stencil is from Simon Says Stamp.  I also used their inks to blend through the stencils.

I sent this off to a Co-workers wife who is a SU demonstrator, as a thank you. She recently made up a bunch of card kits that were handed out to us during our last meeting.  Such a sweet gesture and much appreciated.

Celebrate

Hello. I decided to play along with the sketch over at The Paper Players today.  Here is what I created with it.

I used some digital images for the background panel and tag.  The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp. I used a Copic marker on white satin ribbon to match the colors in the paper.  I used a blue scrap of paper from craft consortium for the middle part.  And the celebrate sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz.  I also got out my crop-a-dial and set an eyelet into the tag.

To those of you in the US, Happy Independence Day - this year is a big one.  Stay safe and enjoy the festivities with family and friends.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just keep swimming - SSC389

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I took liberty with the sketch and went with shapes that closely resembled an oval for grins and giggles. 

The stamps and dies are from an old set; just keep swimming from Papertrey, Ink.

I ink blended the strip behind the whales and added bubbles before popping the whales down. I colored them both with Copic's. 

Thanks for stopping by.
