Congratulations - TSOT#649

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

 

As you can see I turned the sketch on its side. The key dies are from Dress my kraft. I added a bit of refined copper lunar paste to them to make them look old and distressed.  The dictionary page is torn out of an old dictionary that I picked up at a second-hand store.  The key hole stamp is from Bo Bunny and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Thanks for stopping in.

with deepest sympathy

Hello. I've so been busy using up a plethora of cukes from my garden. I've been canning pickles and relish these last few weekends that I haven't had much time for stamping.  However, here's one that I did a whole ago that fits into this month's Flower Challenge of using a die. 

The daisy and greenery are from Memory Box. Sentiment is from The Ton and I used a newsprint stamp from BoBunny.

Finished this off with adding small random dots using Nuvo crystal drops and a stylus.

Thanks for stopping in.

Twofer leaves

Hello. Playing in the Twofer card challenge today using leaves.

Stamps are from Bo Bunny. I stamped them in Vesafine Clair ink and heat embossed them so that I could color with Copic's. Sentiments are from Papertrey, Ink.

Fall is arriving this week in the Pacific Northwest. The leaves are starting to turn and the rain is finally back. There is a crispness in the air and the wind is stirring things up. Fall is my favorite season because Mother Nature shows off pretty spectacularly in the colors that we see.

Have a great day.

Papertrey July Blog Hop Challenge

Hi everyone! The picture below inspired me to play along this month with the Papertrey, Ink blog hop. I liked the colors in the back ground and the patterned paper found in the picture.

I used the new perfect pairing PTI sentiment stamp that was just released. The misti was used to get it positioned exactly where I wanted it.

Designer paper is from Kaisercraft and vintage cream plus scarlet jewel is from PTI.

Now the butterfly. It is a chipboard laser die cut from Bo Bunny. I colored it with the black Ciao Copic marker. To get the shine, I added some glossy accents, let it dry and then bent the wings a bit. It's attached with a clear 3D dot.

ETA: Forgot to add this to SSS sparkle and shine challenge this week. Doing so now. 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping in.

Daffodil

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great week so far! Here's my card that I completed for the weekly sketch challenge over at SCS.

The daffodil is colored with Copic markers, cut out and then popped up with foam tape. The designer paper is from BoBunny and it's layered with that yummy yellow from PTI, called lemon tart.

Black self adhesive pearls (from Kaisercraft) are added to the top left and bottom right corners. I decided to add the black layer behind the lemon tart to make the daffodil pop just a bit more. I love how it turned out!

Daffodil and the sentiment are from the Year of Flowers - Daffodil from Papertrey, Ink.

What do you think?

All is calm

Greetings! I wanted to show you my latest card that I completed for the SCS card sketch challenge.




The tree border stamp and the sentiment is from Memory Box and is stamped in Memories black dye ink, then heat embossed with clear powder. Next I sponged on Memento Cantaloupe, Versamagic Thatched Straw and Palette Pure Poppy to create the sunset. Distress ink in Faded Jeans is used for the night sky and applied with a foam pad.

The snowflakes are done prior to creating the sky by stamping a dots stamp (stamps by Judith) randomly with versamark and heat embossing with clear powder.

The designer paper in the back ground is from BoBunny and ran through the CB with the new PC snowflake folder! The open corners on top are cut out using the CB in the Bazzill navy card stock I used throughout the card.


Lastly, to give this some real sparkle I spritzed it with Vanilla Shimmer from Smooch. Added some snow using Crystal Art Glitter and put some stardust on the trees.


I really like how this one turned out! What do you think?

Halloween Card #4

NO stamping on this one! Inspiration for this came from a small bean bag toy I say at M's at the end of September. I took a picture of the bean bag on my camera phone, which turned out blurry, but at least it gave me some ideas on how to recreate it!

Card base is 5 x 5 square. The polka dot orange paper is from BoBunny and the lime green card stock is from DCWV. Black card stock is cut willy nilly for Frank's hair and other facial features.

Here are the tools I used to make Frank - the circle punch was used for his eyes, a regular hole punch for his nose and the flower punch for his ears. The stitch template was used with a copic multiliner pen to make his mouth. I added some red self adhesive rhinestones from Kaiser Craft and added it to his eyes.

Frank turned out pretty cute for a card with no stamping on it at all! Thanks for stopping by!

World Card Making Day Card

Hi everyone! I hope you had a chance to make a card for WCMD and maybe even participated in a few challenges. I know I did! What fun!

Here's one of the cards I did!

The gerbera daisy is colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. I used the lattice MS punch and threaded some tiny white satin ribbon through the openings. I didn't have the right color of ribbon and used a Copic Ciao Marker to color it that matches the daisy.

I also got out my scor-pal and scored some lines around the perimeter of the red designer paper. It really finished this piece off. At the last minute I decided to use the southwest corner punch on the main panel - luckily I was able to get the corners up enough after being taped down, in order to do that! Why do we always think of things after the fact???

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamp - Gerbera Daisy, The Angel Company

Paper - red designer paper from BoBunny. Green designer paper from HOTP.

White card stock

White satin ribbon

Copic Ciao Marker

Prismacolor Pencils - OMS
