Nailed it - TSOT659

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge for Try A Sketch On Tuesday. 

The stamps are from Technique Tuesday. I fussy cut two of the nails to use behind the sentiment panel. The self-adhesive silver pearls are supposed to resemble nails as well. I specifically used an odd number of them, but looking at it now, maybe I should have added that last one to balance it out. What do you think?

Here is the sketch.

Hello all. Here is your mid-way reminder to play in the "thanks" challenge over at The Flower Challenge.

Merry Christmas

Hello. Playing in the snow challenge over at Addicted to CAS today.

I used a stencil and Lisa Hortoncraft premium dye metallic pigment ink in silver to create the main snowy panel. I also embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder for additional dimension. The panel is popped up with a piece of fun foam. 

The Merry Christmas sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp and cut out of silver cardstock.  I did back it with vellum that I added a bit of sparkle to with a wink of Stella pen. Lastly, I spritzed it with sparkle shimmer spray, which of course does not show up in the photo. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just for you - TSOT658

Hi and welcome to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. 

I used a Penny Black embossing folder to emboss the circle.  The greenery around it comes from several different companies. Lawn Fawn, memory box, Echo Park, etc. 

The cream cardstock is from Papertrey Ink.  The rectangle dot die is from My Favorite Things, and gets a good workout from me. This one and the stitched die are pretty much a staple in all my cardmaking.  Do you have any that get a good workout too?

Hello

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this family of bears today.

I stamped, colored and cut out the bears from My Favorite Things to create this scene.  I paper-pieced their scarves using plaid designer paper from Say it with stamps/photoplay's Holiday plaid 6x6 paper pad. The tree stamp is from Gina K Designs. I used distress oxide ink in tumbled glass and stenciled on the clouds in the background.

Finally added a bit of twine and a tag to say Hello. The hello sentiment is from Altenew and the tag die is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. I used foam squares to bring the bears up from the background.  The stitched frame is cut three times and glued together as well.  

Thanks for stopping in. I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Winter scene

Hello. Playing around with the Stampember Gina K stamp set called stay cozy.

I created the hills using a sheet of copy paper cut into curves and Simon Say Stamp saturated ink and a blending brush. The fir, tall trees and deer are all stamped in Versavine black onyx ink.  The moon is done with SSS ink. Once I stamped the fir trees, I used a prismacolor pencil to draw in the shadows.  

The stitched outline cover die is from My Favorite Things.

Simple things - SSC347

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

 

 I decided to create a specimen tag using some dried lavender for this color prompt challenge.  The purples called out to me for some reason. 

I randomly stamped the lavender on the purple card base using an older stamp from Technique Tuesdays greenhouse society line.  I used some of that fantastic cello tape from Tim Holtz to hold down the lavender. I then stamped some script onto the white tag using shaded lilac oxide ink. Added some rub-ons and fibers that matched the cardstock and called it good.

Season's Greetings

Hello. I'm playing in the clean and simple challenge of Tag, you're it over at The Paper Players today.

I upcycled a Lucky Brands tag from a pair of purchased jeans.

The snowflake die is from Echo Park. The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink and I used an old 5 x 7 Provo Craft snowflake embossing folder for the background.  

I used a frost spritz spray on the snowflakes and in real life they are so sparkly, but hard to capture on camera. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I designed the sketch for our challenge this time based on this card.

I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks and the peony buds and blossoms stencil from Shawn Petite.  Cut it apart, layered it with black cardstock, and then placed it onto an embossed panel.  The celebrate word die is from Tim Holtz Sizzix.

Start each day

Hi again. Take 2 on the Freshly Made Sketch #657 and the word prompt #748 over at JUG's.

I used the leaf 3D embossing folder from Tim Holtz and then added some paper piercing. I had an extra leaf left over from the first card I made and used it here.  Add the sentiment from TH Stampers Anonymous and a few gold pearls.  The brown gingham ribbon was found in my ribbon stash. I love how it works here.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hello

Hi everyone. I'm participating in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and also adding this to the leaves challenge over at Just Us Girls.

The tag die is from Gummiapan. I made a background using distress inks and heavy-weight mixed media paper to create some fall leaf die cuts.  The dies are from Lawn Fawn.  The designer paper is from Moda Scrap. I ended up spritzing the leaves with some distress spritz and you can see it on the photo below, as it doesn't always photograph well.
