I'm also adding this into the challenges linked below.

Happy Birthday

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

The confetti in the background is done using Simon says stamp ink and the confetti stencil from Waffle flower stamps. The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms.  I also used some thin black washi tape to create the separation on the card. 

I created the balloons using a large round ballon die (didn't fit on the card) just for the "tie," then a circle die, and piece them together.  Added on the string, bows and a white gel pen highlight and called it good.  All balloon dies are from My Favorite Things.

Let it bee

Hi. I decided to play with this week's Freshly Made Sketch again and came up with this.

I tore my stamps apart looking for a specific stamp and die set for the bee, and frustratingly, never found it.  Ended up fussy cutting this one from Recollections.  I added color using Copic markers and the wings have sparkle spritz on them.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions, and the die is from Brass & Bliss. I had a yellow background already created in my background stash, so added that behind the dots.  The line of dots that is supposed to resemble the flight of the bee is done using a sewing tracing wheel in black ink. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello

Hello! I'm playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch. This is such a creative one too!

I had created this slide with dried flowers and misc stamps (Tim Holtz) a while back. Decided to put it to use with this sketch and lighten the stash level. The hello is also a rub on from TH.

The background was created with an old stamp from Rubbernecker called watercolor background set. I used Simon Says Stamp ink in dew. The black stitches are a die from AALL & create. I did piece them together to create longer strings, if you will.

A deckled edge rectangle die mimics the stitching and tie it all together.

Thanks for stopping by.

From me to you

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with some new dies and stamps from Gummiapan.

The heart tag and the notebook border are new as is the type background stamp.  I used it on the smaller heart dies (PTI) as well, using antique linen oxide ink. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see that.  The sentiment stamps on the heart tag are from The Stamp Market and the xoxo is from Whimsy stamps.  

I used walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the type panel and added the small bow to the tag and called this done.

By the way, Color Me Nordic is a US based online store for Gummiapan dies, stamps and they're also carrying Craft Addiction UK dies too.
