Frosty sunrise

Hello. It's my turn to do a project of the week and I'm doing another throw back project. 

I love how this frosty sunrise turned out and thought it was good enough for a do over. I did spritz this with some Imagine sheer shimmer spray in sparkle, but of course it doesn't show up in the photo. In real life is sparkles really prettily.  The sunrise was created using distress oxide inks. I stamped the grass and tree in gray and white inks and highlighted it with white paint pen to give it that frosty look. I used a Copic multiliner pen to hand draw the birds in.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Ink blended snowflakes

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This month our challenge is Christmas and this week we our option is: To use one of your favorite techniques. I chose to do some ink blending and resist on this card.

I also used a cover die to cut this apart and put it back together again. The die is from Papetrey, Ink. Distress inks and blending brushed used for the background. I heat embossed the snowflakes so that they would resist the ink.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Hello. Playing in the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge today.

Stamps are from Tim Holtz. I used Tombow markers to color directly on the stamp, then spritxed with water to stamp onto the watercolor panel. The sentiment is heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

Kept this very clean and simple so that I could mass produce if I needed more. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've finished all your holiday makes and got them in the mail. =)

Peace, love and joy

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This month our challenge is Christmas and this week's option is to use Words as the focal point.

Birthday wishes

Hello - 

Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge with this masculine card.

Tool 3D embossing folder is from Memory Box as is the plaid designer paper. Big birthday stamp is from Honey Bee and stamped in fresh pigment ink in capri blue to match the blue in the plaid.  The "wishes" is stamp from Memory Box. 

I needed to restock my stash of masculine birthday cards and this sketch works really well for them.

Season's Greetings

Hello. Playing in the winter wonderland theme challenge over at The Paper Players.

I started with the tri-square wafer die from Simon Says Stamp and used it as a stencil with speckled egg and evergreen bough oxide inks. The little trees are then stamped in evergreen ink from Altenew. I have no idea who the maker is for those little trees, they've been in my stash since I started stamping. 

I used a white gel pen to add snow and stamped the sentiment in gold ink from Altenew using the misti so I could get good coverage. I really like how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Poinsettia's and patterned paper

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This month we are focusing on Christmas and our option this week is to use patterned paper.

Congrats! TSOT #534

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

 

I needed a card for a friend who just had a grandbaby, so this sketched worked well for that. Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp and I paper pieced the onesie.  The designer paper is something that I have had in my stash since I started stamping. I have no idea who made it.

Season's Greetings

Hello - Playing in a new challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge.

The tag was stamped with a very old Memory Box stamp set in gypsy blue pigment ink (sentiment too).  I also used the same ink to color the wooden snowflake embellishment that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  The designer paper is also from Memory Box that I have been hoarding forever. 

Stitched tag and sentiment dies are from MFT. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Season's Greetings

Hi there. Playing in the Sunday Stamps weekly challenge today. It's a sketch that has a lot of possibilities.

The poinsettia dies are from Simon Says Stamp. I cut them out using Neenah classic crest cardstock and added some picked raspberry distress ink in the centers using a blending brush. 

The plaid stencil is from The paper studio (Hobby Lobby) and made using the same distress ink. The pine dies are from Carta Bella and lastly, the sentiment (Hero Arts) is heat embossed using Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder. 

Stitched die is from My Favorite Things. I did spritz this with shimmer spray which doesn't show up in the photo, but in real life, this sparkles. 

Thanks for stopping in.

Christmas wishes

Hello! Here is a card I created using distress inks and a Penny Black stamp.

I smooched bundled sage and aged mahogany onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and picked it up with the stamp. Then stamped it onto watercolor paper on the smooth side. Then took a paint brush and filled it in here and there. 

Added the sentiment and some gold pearls and layered it with the same colors of cardstock. I really like how it turned out. I also found that using red rubber stamps works best for this technique too.

Thanks for stopping by.
