Happy Birthday - TFC#104

Hello. Welcome to another challenge over at The Flower Challenge. We have a color prompt photo for you this month.  

The flower dies are from Pink Fresh Studio.  I colored them using Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Ripe Persimmon. The birthday sentiment is from Avery Elle.

Here is the photo:

Thanks for dropping by.

You make everything better!

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with this card. The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches, and I used the left column down on the tic-tac-toe challenge.  See below.

The tools and the peg board are dies from Taylored Expressions. I added a few bits of duct tape to the board using the small tape dies from Tim Holtz Sizzix vault die set 666876. (It is the set that has the clipboard in it). Silver cardstock from TH used for the tools. I did end up cutting down the peg board a bit to better fit the sketch.

The ruler is from an old set called The Necessities by Limited Edition. I had to stamp it on yellow cardstock to resemble the rulers that used to hang out in my Dad's garage.  The sentiment is from Avery Elle, and I used the small nail die cut (cut off a bit) as an exclamation point. 

This could be used as a Father's Day card or a birthday card.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in a few challenges with this card today.

The stencil is from My Favorite Things and I used Simon says stamp saturated ink to add color to the flowers and leaves.  The sentiment is from an old Avery Elle set. 

Tic Tac Toe - bright colors, spring and free

The card concept - inspired by the flowers on the cake and the card is clean and graphic.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you - TSOT 654

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use.

 

The sentiment is from The Ton. I used a few dies from different companies to create the fall cluster. Impression Obsession, Lawn Fawn, Memory Box to name a few. The oval comes from Avery Elle's cover plate quilted die. 

I used some distress inks to highlight the leaves and the scalloped border is cut from some burlap that I had in my stash.

Hello all - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #626 today. 

The flower die is from The Stamp Market. I cut it up to sorta resemble the sketch below. The centers are blended with sky color fuse ink from Brass & Bliss. Then I dotted the centers with a yellow acrylic marker from Altenew. Popped a few of the flowers up with foam squares for a bit of dimension. 

The dragonfly die and stencil set is from The Greetery. I used Simon Says pawsitively saturated ink in seafoam and surf to color it, then popped it up with foam tape over the flowers.  I did add some wink of stella to the wings for some sparkle, but it's so darn hard to photograph. The sentiment is from Avery Elle, and the embossing folder is from Darice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you very much

Hi all - playing in The Paper Players "let's give thanks" challenge today.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the TGIF sketch challenge today.

The gorgeous script designer paper is from Unity stamps. The anniversary sentiment is from Avery Elle. I think the embossing folder is from Simon Says Stamp (I wish they would put their names on the folders) and the sprig die is from Memory Box. 

The photo makes the main panel look lighter than the card base, but it's the same cardstock. How strange. I also added some fabrika decoru drops to the ends of the sprigs to match (they are like Nuvo drops).

Thanks for stopping by. 

happy birthday

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

 

Plaid background was created using reinkers from Fresh ink, which is a pigment ink. Took forever to dry. Added the plaid background stamp and then used my corner rounder to round off the right hand side of the panel.  The stamp market plaid pinpoint cover die used on the light blue panel worked well with the stamped one in the background. Birthday sentiment is from Avery Elle. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Season's Greetings

Hello all - playing in the current sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Used uncharted mariner distress oxide ink to blend out the dashed snowflake background panel die from Waffleflower. I added some white paint splatters (spray ink from Avery Elle) and spritzed some sparkle shimmer spray on it too. It's so hard to capture a good sparkle in the photos, but in real life both the snow flakes and the blue background panels look awesome.

Snowflake die is from Picket Fence. Sentiment is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. 

Have a great weekend! 

Congratulations

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.
