Thanks - TSOT#684

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  



The background stamp is from Andy Skinner at Creative Expressions.  I stamped it in Antique Linen oxide ink onto cream cardstock and cut out the panels.  The wreath die is from Tim Holtz, Sizzix line.  I used some leftover leaves that I had sitting in my stash and added them on.  The Thanks is a die from Spellbinders.  
Here is the link to join in on the challenge. Not only here, but you can also combine your card with our sister challenge here.

Mixed media tag - SSC374

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. I am the hostess this go around and came up with this.  


I created a mixed media tag using stamps from the following companies.  Texture stamps/Lou Collins, Trinity stamps, Penny Black, Repeat Impressions, and IO.   The dragonfly was created using shrink plastic, Stazon ink, and the dragonfly stamp from Repeat Impressions.  I also used a bit of scrappers floss to tie the ribbon onto the tag. 


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us.  Link is here

ETA: adding this to the following challenges:

Skating snowman

Hello. Sharing this card for the winter challenge over at Just Us Girls and Simply Clean & Simple


The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I colored him using Copic markers.  The snow is texture paste through a stencil with rock candy glitter dusted over it.  

I decided not to put a sentiment on, as I picture him skating to silence in his own little world. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by.




Thank you - TFC#108

Hi and welcome back to a reminder about our current challenge over at The Flower Challenge. We are looking for you to add "thanks" to your creation.  Here is another card I created.

Thinking of you - TSOT#683

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  



I started by blending watercolors down the left side of my watercolor paper in fall colors.  Then I stamped the branch from Memory Box using ground espresso archival ink from both ends.  The sentiment is from Parklane.  It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card base is a dark brown that is cut to a mini slimline card. 


Here is the link to join in on the challenge.
