Hello - TSOT#673

Hello! It's time for a new sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. 

I used the cone flower die from Simon Says Stamp as the focal point, along with the big hello die from SSS CZ Designs.

I cut the flowers out of basic white cardstock and then blended butter and mocha ink from SSS to color them accordingly.  The designer paper is from Lasting Impressions.

Just a note

Hello. I'm playing in the one-layer sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today. It's been ages since I've made a one-layer card. 

I ink blended the circle using inks from Simon Says Stamp.  The butterfly is an old wood block stamp from Stamin Up!  The sentiment comes from The Ton, and I used a piercing die from Gina Marie Designs to add some interest around the perimeter of the card. 

This card came together quickly. Thanks for stopping in.

Hello. We have a new color inspiration up over at Sunday Stamps.

The sentiment is an old $1 stamp from Studio G.  I used Simon Says Stamp saturated ink to match the colors in the photo below.  The card base is a deep navy blue. The flower stencil is from Gina K Designs.

You got this

Hi....

I decided to play with this week's Freshly Made Sketch differently.  Instead of a flower, you get this dare. 

It's a bit in your face with the sentiment, but it inspires you to go ahead, eat the entire double-decker cone!

The embossing folder is from Stampin Up.  The ice cream dies are from Simon Says Stamp, as is the sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by.

So very happy for you TFC#103

Hello all.  This is your reminder that you still have time to play with our embossing challenge over at The Flower Challenge.

This one uses a cobblestone embossing folder from Darice.  The flower stamp and dies are from Simon Says Stamp and are colored with Copic Markers.

Blessed are the curious

Hello.  Today, I'm sharing a mixed-media card that I created a while ago. It goes well with the Just Us Girls Challenge of number(s).

I started out with watercolor paper and used speckled egg ink to color the background.  Then added rice paper from Stamperia. The stamps in the background were randomly done to create interest.  The focal point gears are a die from Memory Box, and the sentiment is a sticker from Tim Holtz.  To finish this, I splattered some gold paint over the top.

Creative Expressions - Sam Poole

Stamperia - Dewdrops, Vicky P

Hi everyone. We have a new sketch challenge up over at TSOT.  I decided to go with a masculine theme on this one.

The embossing folder is from Tim Holtz. I used metal tape from the hardware store to create the panel using the folder.  I did take a black distress crayon and add some grunge to it.  The designer papers are from MFT stamps.  

Here is a close-up of the embossed and distressed panel.

I hope you join us! Below is the sketch. 

Hello - SSC362

Hi everyone. It's time for a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This time we have a sketch from Melissa to try.

I used an alcohol ink background that I had in my stash to create the card using the sketch.  As you can see, I did some ink lifting, which left those wonderful ghost leaves in the background.  The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  Here is the sketch. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hope you're feeling better soon

Hello. I'm playing in the Just Add Ink challenge to choose two.  It's between die cut, flower, and ribbon.  Also adding this to the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.  

The tag is cut from fabric, and I used a purple flower rub-on to decorate it.  I colored the ribbon with a Copic marker to match the colors in the flowers.  The sentiment is from Pretty Pink Posh, and it's stamped in Versafine ink. 

Stitch dot rectangle dies are from Jillian Vance Designs.

Just a note TFC#103

Hello everyone! We have a new challenge over at The Flower Challenge. We want to see embossing, either heat or dry.  

I used an embossing folder from Spellbinders that I've had for a bit but haven't used.

The flower stamp is from Just for Fun. I used Tombow markers to color directly on the stamp and reactivated the ink by huffing on it.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Hi everyone. I spent yesterday at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and spent way too much money. However, here is one of the stamp and stencil sets I purchased from The Ton.

I used color fuse inks from Brass and Bliss with the stencil first, then stamped over it with the outline stamp.  The thanks sentiment is part of the set.

I'm entering this into the following challenge.
