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.

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  I created this 5 x 7  mixed media card using the sketch below. 

I sectioned off a sheet of mixed media paper into a quad and proceeded to add ink, stenciling, stamping, etc.  Sentiment is from Avery Elle.

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.
