Birthday Hydrangea TFC#93

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.

 Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

 

The Hydrangea layering dies are from Honey Bee Stamps. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and when this set came out, I jumped on it. So fun to work with.

Mixing it up

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with a mixed media thanks card. 

I cut and inked up some worn and weathered designer paper from creative expressions to go with the sketch. I added a bit of script stamping to the grey panel and decided it needed some heat embossing to stand out a bit more. The "thanks" die is from Spellbinders. 

Rub on stitching from 49 and market is used along the left panel and lastly, added a medallion cut out for further interest (TH stamp). Added some black ink splatters, just because I could.  

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in.

Congrats - SSC339

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the inspiration color prompt photo below.

The balloon background stamp is from Hero Arts. I heat embossed it in white, spritzed it with a blue mica spray (came in the HA kit) then used Tim Holtz mica sprays to water color in the colors from the inspiration photo below.  

The die is also from Hero Arts. I used vellum for the shadow and plain white for the congrats!

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge today.

The sentiment stamps are from Impress cards and crafts. I stamped them in versamark and heat embossed them in silver.  The snowflakes are from Echo Park and cut out of Tim Holtz Idea-ology silver sparkle cardstock. The embossing folder is an oldie but goodie from Provo Craft/Cuttlebug.  I accidently used the debossed side and then decided it looked pretty darn good behind the snowflake cuts outs, and left it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending best wishes

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls stencil challenge today.

I created my own stencil using the postage die from Penny Black. Using a blending brush and tumbled glass distress oxide inks created a soft glow to frame up the flowers. Those are from studio light, the flower centers, leaves, and stems were colored with copics.  The sentiment is from The Ton and is popped up using foam tape.

The yellow gingham ribbon was unearthed from my ribbon stash and tied with the bow easy.

Also adding this into the tic-tac-toe challenge #250. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday cheer - SSC338

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  We have a new sketch and here is what I made using it. This is a fun one with so many possibilities.

 

I just got this new daisy set from Visible Image and put it to use on this sketch. I fussy cut the daisy out and popped it onto a piece of cardstock that matched the center of the flower. I did continue the splatters that are a part of the daisy stamp on the panel.  The Sentiment is from Poppy stamps.

Congratulations - TSOT#649

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

 

As you can see I turned the sketch on its side. The key dies are from Dress my kraft. I added a bit of refined copper lunar paste to them to make them look old and distressed.  The dictionary page is torn out of an old dictionary that I picked up at a second-hand store.  The key hole stamp is from Bo Bunny and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Clean and simple sympathy card

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players clean and simple challenge of sympathy or encouragement. 

The silhouette sprig and sentiment stamp are from My Favorite Things.  I used the postage die from Penny Black to cut out a panel then used it as a stencil to create a tall and skinny area to stamp the sprig silhouette. Tumbled glass distress oxide ink used with a blending brush. 

I did add some shine to the dots with a black gel pen, but you can't see it in the photo. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Take care of yourself - TFC#92

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.  It's a sketch challenge! See sketch below.

Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

The flower stamp, die and sentiment are from Pink and Main. I water-colored it using Mei Liang watercolors. The dragonfly die is from Stampin Up, however, I made it using shrink plastic and my little pancake maker. I highly recommend that little gadget for doing anything shrink plastic - so much easier than using your heat tool and you don't waste product because it didn't flatten out correctly.

with sympathy

Hi everyone. I decided to try my hand at the Retro Rubber sketch challenge before the time ran out.

The main panels are stamped using an old wood mounted stamp from Memory Box called spring branch. It must be at least 10+ years old. To color it, I used Tombow markers and huffed on it to get a good impression before cutting it down into squares.

Sentiment is a new one from My Favorite Things. Since this is a sympathy card, I kept it clean and simple.

Thanks for stopping by!
