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.

Happiest of birthdays - TSOT#653

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 stamp is from Simon Says Stamp and is watercolored using Daniel Smith watercolor paints. I did turn the sketch on its side and decided to keep it CAS.

Sending birthday wishes

Hello. Playing in the AAA birthday card challenge today.

The sentiment stamp is from Poppy stamps. I stamped it onto a balloon die cut from MFT stamps (the tag die is also from MFT).  The candles are from the Simon says stamp birthday borders set. I had the green watercolor wash panel in my stash and put it to use on this card. Trying to clean up my stash of  unused card bits.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Get well soon

Hello. Playing over at The Paper Players clean and simple get well challenge today.

The Cherry blossom stamp is from the former Raisin Boat stamp company. I used TomBow markers on it and spritzed with water to get the watercolor look that the stamp is all about.  The get well sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

 

I was inspired by the photo and colors. Light house is from Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from Tim Holtz. Used Arteza watercolor markers to create the skyline on water color paper.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Hello. Playing in the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge today.

Stamps are from Tim Holtz. I used Tombow markers to color directly on the stamp, then spritxed with water to stamp onto the watercolor panel. The sentiment is heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

Kept this very clean and simple so that I could mass produce if I needed more. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've finished all your holiday makes and got them in the mail. =)
