Holiday greetings in non-traditional colors

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


 

The sentiment is from Impress cards & crafts and the large snowflake is from My Favorite Things. I used Simon Says stamp pawistively saturated ink in sesafoam, surf and ocean to blend with.  Blue cardstock is from Gina K Designs. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration and the secondary theme is non-traditional holiday colors.

Textured Poinsettia

Hello. Playing in the #563 Freshly Made Sketch Challenge today. 


I used a red/pink background from my stash to cut the poinsettia out. Added some fir branches around it and stuck a circle frame in gold per the sketch. 

I purposely left the strings (and added a few more) to the broadcloth panel. I just liked the texture and rustic look of it.

Thanks for stopping by.



'Tis the season

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 Simon Says Stamp. I used a circle die for the snowman head, added two buttons for the eyes, and cut a carrot for his nose.  I dusted on some white pigment ink to mimic a chalkboard as a final touch to this card. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, where there’s a lot of really awesome inspiration!

Fusion Card Challenge

Sadly, this will be the last Fusion Card Challenge. The number of folks actually playing has dwindled down quite a bit and it just makes sense to end on a high note. Thank to all those who continued to play each month. See you out in blogland and on Instagram.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of you

Hello - playing in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of "thinking of you" - I had this one colored up already in my unused card bit bin just waiting for me to make it into a card.


The stamp and sentiment are from Altenew. I watercolored it with Tombow markers. Splattered it with white and black paint.

The silver plaid panel is from Sizzix Tim Holtz, I just used one of the plaid panels. Ironically, this has been sitting on my island since I got the dies, just waiting for me to put it to use.

Thanks for stopping by!
