Thinking of you

Hello. This sketch over at The Paper Players caught my eye today and decided to give it a go.



I did a bit of ink smooching with distress inks in fall colors onto watercolor paper. Cut these leaves out using dies from Lawn Fawn. I did outline the outer edges with a small blending brush and ground espresso distress ink. The olive green panel is embossed with the leaf pin dot cover die from Honey Bee.  Sentiment is from The Stamp Market. Lastly, the designer paper is from PTI.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Just a note

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

 


Sentiment is from a Jillian Vance Design. I've had the designer paper in my stash for years and dug it out to use on this. It reminded me of the rug in the photo. 

Here is the Sketch/Inspiration card.

Fall leaf

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

 


 

I used a background that was blended with distress oixdes from my stash to cut out the leaf. Leaf die is from Simon Says Stamp. I did cut 3 and glued them together for extra dimension. Added two thin strips of gold mirror cardstock to the top and bottom of the rustic white cardstock panel. Gold self adhesive dots are from Pink Fresh Studio. Kraft and the rustic white cardstock are from PTI. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Happy Birthday - digital daisies

Hello! I recently invested in a new Canon TS3522 back loading printer in order to print digital images for cards. I say invested, but it was really an inexpensive printer (bought at Wal*Mart) that is performing surprisingly well. Too thumbs up for it and I highly recommend it.


I posted this on Facebook in the Clean and Simple card making group and got a lot of questions and figured I post this here and answer them. 

The image is from PNGwing - it was FREE. If you don't know how to use png's here is a good video from Christine Stokes. 

The sentiment is a stamp from Jaded Blossoms and you can find it here. The die that I used to cut out the digital picture with is from Jillian Vance Designs and can be found here

The cardstock that I used is Royaltone Regal White from the Cardstock Warehouse.  It's a 100 lb cover and went through the Canon printer well. 

I hope this helps those who might not know how to use digital or photos for cards. It's pretty easy and can have really wonderful results. It will never replace red rubber or clear stamps, but it's another option when you need something specific that you don't have in your inventory of stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Daisies

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.


The daisy stamp is from the former Angel Company. This is the stamp that got me interested in card making and I will never part with it!  Used the sketch and the colors in the photo as jumping off points for this one.
