Yappy Birthday

Hi. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.  I love that it's a clean and simple sketch.


The dog stamp is an old one from Close to My Heart. I colored her with Copic markers and then fussy cut her out.  I did pop it up using foam squares for a bit of dimension.  The sentiment is from Mama Elephant.  I also used round and rectangle dot stitch dies from Jillian Vance Designs on this.

Thanks for stopping by.

A little Note - TSOT646

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 flowers are from a very old set from Close to My Heart. I used Tombow markers to color them. The sentiment is from a dollar stamp from Studio G. Lastly, the embossing folder used for the corners is from Spellbinders.

Happy Birthday TSOT sketch

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



I used the new Villainous Potion for the background, along with Victorian velvet. Flower stamps are from CTMH. I used Tombow markers on them and spritzed with water. Birthday sentiment is from Poppy stamps.

 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Everything will be okay

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.


Flower stamp is an old one from Close To My Heart. I stamped it in versafine, heat embossed in clear then colored with Copic's. I did also highlight the centers using a prismacolor pencil in light blue and white.

Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Gingham designer paper is from A*Muse. This ended up being a top folding card.

Also adding this into the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.

Stay safe out there!

Many thanks

Hi there - Playing in the TGIF sketch challenge today. Here is what I came up with.


Leaf stamps are from Close To My Heart called Autumn Splendor - I'm sure they're retired by now, I've had them forever. I used Hero Arts and Altenew mini inks to mix the colors on the stamps (rock and roll technique) before stamping. Sentiment is from Altenew.

When cleaning out my dies, I came across a purple cover plate that had these gorgeous leaves on it. That is the debossing you see on the white background panel. I also found a mini thumb punch of a maple leaf and used it on different colored cardstock scraps.

Fun sketch! Thanks for stopping by!

Treasure life's little moments

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.


Stamps are a retired set called treasure life from CTMH. I colored the flower stamp with Memento markers and spritzed it with water onto a piece of water color paper. I used my Nano stamp positioning tool to arrange the stamp differently each time.

Added a pink gingham bow (tied with the bow easy) to the center where the stems meet with a glue dot. I resisted adding any other embellishments to this and kept it clean and simple.

Thanks for stopping by.

Doggone good day

Hey everyone! It's one layer time over at Less is More and the challenge this time around is to include an animal into the mix.



Stamps are from Close to my heart and I'm not even sure they are still available. I colored the dog using prismacolor pencils and blended it with Gamsol. I haven't played with this technique in many moons, so it was fun to get the pencils out and play a bit.

It's raining cats and dogs outside so it's a good day to stay indoors and stamp. But I also have a ton of chores to get done! Yuk! thanks for stopping by!

ETA: Adding this to AAA cards, Game #35 bare naked
