Happy birthday to you - TSOT644

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. 

I used my Canon printer to print the music notes onto a piece of rice paper. Quite frankly, very surprised it worked, and so well. Then I added a bit of distress antique linen ink over it to give it an aged look.  The birthday sentiment is from Poppy stamps and it's stamped in hickory smoke archival ink. I used gray cardstock in two shades to match the music sheet colors on the panel in the sketch.

Sports!

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays. Optional theme is "sports" this time around.

 

I went with the large digital cheerleading sayings to replace the rectangles on the sketch. Which is really out of the box for me. The digi stamp is by Sassy Cheryl and colored with Copic's. I fussy cut it out too. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Poppies

Hi everyone! While on my way to Portland OR yesterday I noticed that the poppies are in bloom along the side of the freeway. Spring has finally arrived. So, with that in mind I decided to share this card I made a while ago that I hadn't gotten around to posting!

It's a sympathy card, so I kept it very clean and simple. This is a digi stamp that I printed off and colored with Copic's. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

I did a bit of fussy cutting just to be a bit different and layered it onto navy cardstock with a yellow panel behind it to bring out the flowers. The card measures 5 x 5 square. 

 Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing

Good morning! Here's another card that I completed for the Viva la Verve challenge. Love this sketch! I turned it sideways to be different.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on it!

Sentiment is from Verve and the cone flower is a digital image that was colored with Copic's. The purple designer paper is from Hot Off The Press.

White cardstock is Neenah solar white and the black cardstock comes from Papertrey Ink. Black grosgrain ribbon is used to make the bow.

I really like how this turned out! What do you think? Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Fall flowers

At least I colored these to become a "fall" flower. Giggle, giggle!


I found this digital image somewhere for free and for the life of me I cannot remember who's it is. If anyone out there has a system for identifying and remembering who your digi's came from, please share!

Daisy's are colored with Copic's and layered with yellow cardstock. The yellow designer paper is from my stash that I most likely got from Micheal's years ago. The gray cardstock is from American Craft and I used the Quikutz medium scalloped border die to cut the edge. Simple layout that went together pretty quickly. What do you think?

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
