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!

Enjoy your special day - TSOT#648

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


 

 

The clouds are cut from a piece of designer paper from Craft Consortium. I've had the cloud and sun dies for so long that I have no idea who makes them, but do believe they are from MFT.  I'm awful at keeping track of who makes what die.  The sentiment is from MFT.

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.
