Just sayin' - TSOT689

Hello and welcome back to another card sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is an awesome way to use up some designer paper scraps.  

I used distress inks to blend the background of the panel sitting on top of all the designer papers. All of those papers were in my blue scrap pile.  The sentiment and dies are from CZ Designs from Simon Says Stamp.

Here is the link to join the challenge - and remember to use up those scraps!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this birthday card today.

I started off with the sketch over at Just add Ink.  The fern is a very old rubber stamp from the former Angel Company.  I stamped it in juniper dye ink from Simon Says Stamp.  The birthday sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. I heat embossed it with alabaster embossing powder from Brutus Munroe.  The circle "31" is made using a jump ring and glossy accents over a section of a numbered dsp that I had in my stash.

Here are the challenges for this card.

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Use up your scraps! 

I used up some scraps that I had from the daisy dsp paper pack from Moda Scrap.  The daisy die is from The Stamp Market, and the "thanks" die is from Altenew.  Yep, that is vellum that the daisy is attached to.  I wanted to make the DSP visible so that it all ties together. 

The sketch is intended to be a scrap buster, so hope to see your cards over at Sunday Stamps! 

Take Care!

So Happy Together - TSOT688

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is a fun Valentines Day sketch or switch it up!

I used a heart die from Pink and Main and stamped on it using the same swirl stamp from inkadinkado as in the background.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

You can link up here.  Hope to see you over there!

Thanks for stopping by.

You're a true inspiration

Hi! I'm playing in the Freshly Made Challenge paired with the color challenge over at Just add Ink.

The butterfly die is from Memory Box (it's an old one). I used the color inspiration below to ink blend Simon says stamp ink on the solid layer of the butterfly.  The designer paper is an old one from Bazzill basics, which happened to match the old cuttlebug daisy embossing folder.  The only new supply on this card is the sentiment, which is a press plate from Altenew. 

Entering this into SSS anything goes challenge today too!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary - SSC378

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. We have a photo prompt this time.

The heart die is from Echo Park.  It's all one die and can be used so many different ways. Used up a bit of cardstock scraps on it too! The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by.

You can do great things

Hello all - Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.

The stamps and dies are from Pink and Main called Pretty Peony.  I watercolored the peonies with Sandy Allnocks palette from Daniel Smith.  I found the dsp in my stash of paper and thought it went really well behind the peonies and worked well with the sentiment as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Try it on Tuesday - add some text

Happy Birthday

Hello! I'm playing in the hand stamped sentiments challenge today.  It's an inspiration challenge from the graphic below.

The dies are from Stampin Up! I cut them out of silver cardstock and then used mushroom and turquoise alcohol inks to distress the gears.  The sentiment stamp is from Poppy stamps and the wonderful designer paper is from craft consortium. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Unicorn Challenge - Birthday

Winter wishes - TSOT687

Hello. There is a new sketch up over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday and it's a fun one!

I obviously flipped it to take advantage of more space to work with on this sketch.  The houses, church and tree dies are from Gina K Designs.  The mountain dies are very old and I cannot remember where they are from, if I had to guess, it would be MFT. 

Ink blended the sky and mountains using Distress inks.  I did put some gold sparkly vellum behind the buildings to represent lights. 

Hope you play along with us by linking up here!

Take care.

Sending birthday wishes

Just a note

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The tag die is from Brass and Bliss which I used it to cut out a book page.  The stencil is from Tim Holtz, it's the mini one #THMS070.  I used it with texture paste on the card base and the tag, then also used it to emboss the horizontal panel behind the tag. The ribbon on the tag was colored using the BG7.3 marker from Olo, which matched fairly well.  The distress spray ink on the tag is stormy sky. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you - SSC377

Thinking of you

Hi there! I decided to play in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches tonight and came up with this.

The designer paper is from Tim Holtz memoranda pack.  I paired it with a strip of enchanted evening grosgrain ribbon from Papertrey, Ink.  Fig leaf die is from Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  Added a small twine bow to ground the fig die cut and called it good.

Thanks for stopping by.

Feel better soon - TSOT686

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday!

The embossing folder is from Penny Black.  I used the postage die from Waffle flower on some designer paper from 49 and Market to create the panels.  I popped up one of the butterflies using some of the ephemera that was included in the paper pad.  Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.
