Happiest of birthdays SSC332

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the sketch. I have no idea where this die is from - I strongly think it's from Simon Says Stamp or Memory box. I cut it down to work with the sketch.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.


I ink blended over the top of the die cut with Simon Says Stamp ink to make this a masculine card.

Masculine birthday card

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today. I already had this bird from Whimsy stamps colored and sitting on my desk. I thought it would work great for the sketch below.


Linen cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink (I sure wish it would come back in stock) and the bird is colored with Copic markers.  The birthday sentiment is from Poppy Stamps, which is my go-to for masculine cards due to the font.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending hugs

Hello all - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #626 today. 


The flower die is from The Stamp Market. I cut it up to sorta resemble the sketch below. The centers are blended with sky color fuse ink from Brass & Bliss. Then I dotted the centers with a yellow acrylic marker from Altenew. Popped a few of the flowers up with foam squares for a bit of dimension. 

The dragonfly die and stencil set is from The Greetery. I used Simon Says pawsitively saturated ink in seafoam and surf to color it, then popped it up with foam tape over the flowers.  I did add some wink of stella to the wings for some sparkle, but it's so darn hard to photograph. The sentiment is from Avery Elle, and the embossing folder is from Darice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care of yourself - TSOT642

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use.

 


The flower die is from Honey Bee and I used SSS pawsitively saturated ink in cheeky, blush, pucker, field, and fairway to color the white card stock.  The sentiment strip is from a stamp set from Pink and Main. I stamped it using Versafine ink and then heat embossed it with clear powder. I used a bit of washi tape for the center stripe.

Thank you

Hi all - decided to play in the Retro Rubber Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and the Allsorts challenge of Spring.


The butterfly is from Stampin Up! The year on the stamp says 2000. I stamped it in Versafine, heat embossed it, colored it with Copics, then fussy cut it out. 

The embossing folder in the background is from Honey Bee Stamps. I used a small blending brush and ballet slippers ink from Pink Fresh to color the blossoms. Added small yellow rhinestones for the centers.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the eucalyptus cardstock is from Concord & 9th.  I ended up using the center row down and the bottom row across on the TTT diagram below.
