Happy St. Pat's

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps today.

The sentiment is from Studio G clear stamps that I got at M's a long time ago for $1. Remember those? 

The embossing folder is from Pink & Main. I used a sheet of watercolor paper and some Simon says stamp pawsitively inks. Did the letterpress technique with the folder and love how it came out.  Tim Holtz happy die from Sizzix was cut out three times and stacked and then I added some clear shine to it using a glaze pen.

Thanks for stopping by.

Spread your wings

Hello. Playing in the Monday Simon Says Stamp challenge on Saturday. They are wanting "things with wings'' and here is what I came up with.

I created the background color using Pan-Pastels. I was playing around with a bunch I've had in my stash for a while and this is one of the results. 

Washi tape is from 49th and Market. I also used a larger roll of tape to cut out the butterfly. The die is an old one from Memory Box. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

Have a great weekend.

Miss you

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

The galaxy background was created on black watercolor paper using pigment ink re-inkers from Fresh ink. I layered it onto some silver cardstock from TH Idea-ology.  

The super cute space boy is from Gerda Steiner Designs and he is colored with Copic markers. I did pop him up using foam tape for dimension. I almost used a few action wobblers on him, but they really made him stick out and I didn't have a smaller version for the flag. But overall, I think it came out pretty cute.

I love you no matter what

Hi there. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge today. The theme is "love is in the air" and here is what I did with it.

The sentiment is from Scrapbook dot com and heat embossed in gold. I cut the flower heart out of red card stock using the die from Simon Says Stamp. I adhered it to a piece of cardstock that I had put some heavy double-stick tape on. I then burnished gold leaf from Nuvo into the cut-out flowers.  

Gold cardstock from TH is taped to Neenah solar white 110 lb base to frame the gold heart.

The thank you die-cut words are from Tim Holtz Sizzix. I cut them out three times, stacked them, and then added glossy accents to them. Which you can't really tell by the photo.  Stitched background die is form C9.

happy birthday

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

 

Plaid background was created using reinkers from Fresh ink, which is a pigment ink. Took forever to dry. Added the plaid background stamp and then used my corner rounder to round off the right hand side of the panel.  The stamp market plaid pinpoint cover die used on the light blue panel worked well with the stamped one in the background. Birthday sentiment is from Avery Elle. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.
