Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with the following Thinking of You card.


I started off using the sketch from CAS on Fridays.  The tag dies are from PTI and MFT.  The tulip stencil is from Echo Park and I used Simon Says Stamp inks and a mini blending brush to create the panel. The sentiment is from Park Lane which I stamped in black ink then heat embossed in clear. 

Below are the challenges I'm entering this into:
Tic-tac-toe challenge - I used the middle going across
Just add ink - Thinking of you and embossing (heat)
 
Thanks for stopping by.

Get well soon - TSOT#664

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 sun ray is blended using bright yellow ink from Pink Fresh studio.  All the dies are from different companies that worked well together to create this get-well card.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  I used Copic markers to highlight the clouds and popped them up using foam tape.

Masculine birthday

Hello. I'm playing in the CAS masculine challenge over at The Paper Players today.




Okay, so this was an experiment on an idea I saw on Instagram from a DT for Altenew. Sorry, I cannot remember who it was, but they used Altenew's new embossing paste on an embossing folder, and it was such a cool technique that I just had to try it. I used a 2D embossing folder from Darice and Simon Hurley's Lunar paste in refined copper.  Put it on thick (next time I do this, even more so) and let it dry overnight.  Then I just carefully peeled it off. I used a thin coat of Mod Podge to glue it to the cardstock. 

The sentiment is from Memory Box and I heat embossed it with Copper Penny by Brutus Munroe. Added a few metal gears for interest and to tie it all together.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi

Hi! I'm playing in the Just Add Ink photo inspiration challenge today.  Kept this clean and simple.


The big "hi" die is a die from My Favorite Things. The stencil is an unbranded one and I used Simon Says Stamp saturated ink.  The card base is black so that the tulip panel stands out a bit more.

Thanks for stopping by.

I used several different rolls of washi tape to create the background behind the vellum heart.  The die is from Jillian Vance. I also used a few word dies to create the love you sentiment.

Love...

Hello. I'm playing in The Paper Players "Love is in the air" theme challenge today.


The heart die is from Echo Park.  I used a distress background that I created using lumberjack plaid that has been sitting in my stash for a while.  I popped up each little heart with a foam square to give this a bit of dimension. 

The sentiment is an old one from Technique Tuesday.  

Thanks for stopping by.
