Merry Christmas

Hello. I've got a last-minute entry into this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge for you today.

I decided to go with a Christmas card theme for this sketch. The sentiment is from Impress cards and crafts. The designer paper and the snowflake dies are from Echo Park.  The sparkly silver cardstock is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology kraft line. It cut through those delicate snowflake dies with my Empress very well. 

Thanks for stopping by.

I used the new Tim Holtz stencil and sky, dusk, and night pawsitively saturated inks from Simon Says Stamp to make the main focus. Topped it off with a die cut thanks. The right-hand side is cloud dsp from Craft Consortium Bloom and wild paperpack.  Navy satin ribbon used per the sketch, but a little lower on the card panel.

The stamp and sentiment are from My Favorite Things. I colored him up using Copic markers. I found the sparkly rhinestones in my stash that matched the color markers I used, so add three for a little interest.

Hello - TFC #91

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.

This Altenew flower stamp is colored with Olo markers and fussy cut-out. The little hello stamp is also from Altenew. I matched the satin ribbon colors with the flowers by coloring with the same Olo markers onto white ribbon.  The square dot die is embossed into the base panel instead of cutting it out.

Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Romance/Wedding/Anniversary challenge today.  I made this clean and simple anniversary card using Sizzix dies from Tim Holtz.

I found a man and a woman among the layers from Idea-ology and popped them behind the yellow vellum to create that old-time look. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I also stacked up the main layer using foam tape for added dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Time to relax

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing a card I created for my chiropractor and his wife for their retirement. 

The stamps are from Hero Arts and stamped in Versafine ink. I ink-blended the background with Tumbled glass distress oxide ink and latte ink from Simon Says Stamp. The clouds are done using the cloud stencil from A Color Life.  To get the shadows under the swing and palm trees, I used a detail blending brush from Waffleflower and a darker shade of brown ink. Really happy with how the shadows turned out. Used the dot stitched die from Jillian Vance designs to cut the scene out and matted it with black cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping by!
