Thinking of you

Hi all. Playing in the color challenge over at Just add ink today.

The sentiment is a very old $1 stamp set that I've had for 15+ years and have no idea who made it.  

Flower dies are from Jaded Blossom and the leaves and the flower centers were taken from the TH sizzix small tattered florals die set. 

I believe the diamond die is from Memory Box. I did add a bit of yellow saturated ink from Simon behind it to highlight the flowers.  The yellow cardstock is from PTI and the oceanside and aqua sky are from Concord and 9th.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yay, you did it!

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

The cute hiking boot die is from Impression Obsession. I used a Copic marker to color the body of the boot and added some red bakers twine as shoe laces. 

The plaid designer paper is from Say it with stamps. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

This is for a friend who was finally able to get back on the hiking trails after a fall that broke her collarbone. 

Also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge.

Thinking of you

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Less Is More, this time around is anything goes but keep it clean and simple.

 

The butterfly stamps and dies are from My Favorite Things and are colored with Copic's.  The sentiment is from recollections. Full disclosure: This went out several months ago to a co-worker who is battling breast cancer.  She shared it on Facebook, so you might have seen a peek already.

Here is the cue card.

Happy Birthday OLC

Hello. Playing in the one-layer clean and simple challenge over at The Paper Players today.

The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms. The flower stencil is from Shawn Petite.  I like this so much that I did another color but added a layer.

I used pawsitively saturated ink from Simon Says Stamp to blend the flowers. A black gel pen was used on the centers.

Spread your wings

Hello - playing in the sketch challenge over at TGIF Challenges. 

I cut down an ombre watercolor background from my stash and ran it sideways through an old Cuttlebug stick embossing folder to simulate water flow. 

Dragonfly die is from The Greetery. I cut it out of the same watercolor panel and added some Indigo blu hansel luscious pigment powder over the top to give it a bit of shine. In real life, it looks pretty cool.  The sentiment stamp is from My Favorite Things.
