With Sympathy

Hello. I recently came across this watercolor panel in my scrap pile and decided to turn it into a card.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  I know that I used Tombow markers on the stamp and then added splatter to finish it off.  The green dot designer paper is an old piece from lasting impressions that I've had in my stash forever.  My card base is slightly darker than my watercolor paper, but decided to go for it anyway! 

Adding this into the sympathy challenge over at CAS on Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by.

For you

Hi there. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The flower dies are from Altenew. I used the embossing folder that came with this to add texture to the petals.  I added the color using Simon says stamp pawsitively saturated ink and a blending brush.

The embossing folder on the left is also from Simon Say Stamp.  The dragonfly die is an old one from Memory Box and the sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

The dragonfly is suspended only on the petal and appears to be floating in real life.

Thanks for stopping by.

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

I used a stencil as the main focus for this card.  Eucalyptus and juniper ink from Simon Says Stamp was ink blended through the stencil.  The sentiment is from My favorite Things.  

The circle charms are made using jump rings, glossy accents and designer paper. So much fun to make and use as dimensional interest on cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

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

I started out with a large piece of watercolor paper and distress spray inks in stormy sky and antique linen.  I used a brayer to even out and spread the colors.  The dots are done using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop and embossing paste.  Then I stenciled on jumbled numbers using stormy sky distress ink.

The script words is a stamp from Darkroom Door, which I stamped in hickory smoke archival ink.  Added white and black splatters all over too.  Once everything was dry, I cut out the rectangles using a deckled die.  Added stormy sky distress ink to the edges with a dauber and popped them up using foam tape on the card base.  The birthday sentiment and die are from Waffle Flower. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Spread your wings

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card(s).  

The designer paper is from Unity stamp company.  The border die is from Globeland (Amazon) and the butterfly is an old one from Cloud 9 Designs.  I heat embossed it and colored it to match the dsp with walnut stain distress ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

I added an eyelet to the file tab just to be different and stuck it between the two dot rectangles. The swirl behind the main panel is from the same butterfly set, I just masked off the sentiment just to get the swirl.

I thought this was a bit plain, so after I took the photo above, I went back and added a bit of walnut stain distress ink around the perimeter of the card.  Which do you like better? 

Thanks for stopping by!
