Let it snow

Hello. I'm off work this week and decided to play in a few challenges with this card.

I started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I used tumbled glass oxide ink to blend the background, then added some white splatter to resemble snow using Dr, Ph. Marrtin's bleed proof white.  

The snowman die is an old one from Simon Says Stamp as is the little sentiment. The snowflakes are from various companies, and they are blinged up using a liquid glitter brush. I also added a few marks using a gel pen to his eyes, hat, and buttons.

The challenge over at The Paper Players is to use plaid, so I made his scarf and top hat band out of Christmas plaid.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello, and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This week we have a sketch to work with. 

I kept this very clean and simple.  The 3D embossing folder is from Sizzix. The sentiment is a die from CZ Designs (Simon Says Stamps) and cut from navy cardstock.  

I dyed three tiny snowflake clay shaker bits (Trinity Designs) navy to use per the sketch below.

Hello.  I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with the following card.

The postage stamp stamps are from Technique Tuesday.  I used Simon Says Stamp ink to stamp them in and I found postage stamp dies that fit them in my stash.  I have no idea who made them, but thinking it was PTI back in the day. 

Kept this clean and simple too.  Thanks for stopping by.

Let it snow

Hello....The current sketch over at The Paper Players drew my attention today and here is what I did with it.

I started off with a card base of blue denim from Gina K Designs.  The dot snowflake die is from Waffle flower Designs. I used a border die on the left-hand side to create a bit more interest.  

The sentiment is an old one from Memory Box stamps, and the snowflake die is from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I did stack the snowflakes three times to get more dimension, with the top layer being silver glitter paper. The sentiment is also heat embossed using Ranger silver tinsel embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping in.

Thankful for you - SSC3967

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I am the hostess this time around and came up with the following sketch.

The stamp is from Gummiapan and is colored with watercolor paints.  I did darken the stamens with a black gel pen so they stood out a bit more.  Sentiment is a press plate from Altenew.

Hope you join us.  Link up here. 

Thanks for stopping by.

From all of us

Hello. I'm playing in several challenge today but started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketch with this card.

The spring branch/leaf stamp is an old red rubber stamp from Memory Box circa 1990's.  I used Tombow markers to color it and the huff method to reactivate the ink for stamping.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up! The outline border die and fishtail pierced dies are from MFT Stamps.

This is one of my favorite stamps, because it can be used for 3 of the seasons and any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by.
