Enjoy your day - TSOT#677

Hi, and welcome back to a new sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.



Ok - this one needs a bit of explaining.  The middle section of triangle is made using a napkin and some plastic wrap.  You know the technique of ironing the napkins onto a piece of cardstock by melting plastic wrap between the two with an iron.  Yep, this is that technique.  I made a few, so you might see more of them later.  

The sentiment is from Poppy Stamps, and I used dark green cardstock that matched the color of the ferns.  


Thanks for stopping by.

Let it snow - SSC367

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.


This sketch is a good one to add to your arsenal for repeated use!   

The stencil in the background is done with color fuse ink from Rubbernecker (Brass & Bliss).  The sentiment is from PTI and stamped in Versafine ink.  The snowflake is from SSS and cut out of neenah cardstock.  Then I decided to use some navy blue glitter on it.


I'm not a fan of glitter, but this turned out pretty good.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

Adulting is hard

Hello. Playing in the photo inspiration challenge today over at Just Add Ink.


I liked the leaves, coffee, and plaid in the photo below and incorporated them into my layout.  

The plaid designer paper is from Memory Box. The leaf is a die from Simon Says Stamp and was cut from a distress ink background that I had in my stash.  The coffee ring stamp is from Altenew and was stamped in Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.
