Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

This uses up some of my designer paper from 49th and Market called sweet reflections. The paper pack also comes with a few laser-cut pop out flowers that I added onto the middle panel. I decided that I don't need to hoard onto anything anymore.  Sentiment is from MFT. I also added some splatters in white gouache and faded lilac distress ink.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello. Playing in the CAS Mix it up card challenge today. 

Flower stamp is from The Stamp Market and I used Rubbernecker color fuse inks on it.  Hugs die is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. I used white gouache paint, black soot marker and ink splatter tool from Tim Holtz to platter all over the card front. It came out very subtle, but I went with it. The black dots are Nuvo drops done with a small stylus. 

Thanks for stopping in.

Congratulations

Merry Christmas tag

Hello. Decided to play in the Christmas Tag Monday Simon Says Stamp challenge. I had already stamped the new Holiday floral stamp onto water color paper and heat embossed it with white detail embossing powder. However, the embossing powder flubbed up a bit in a section. So, I decided to cut it down into a tag to play in the challenge.

You can see in the top left hand corner the smudge of embossing powder on the leaf of the poinsettia. I used Daniel Smith water colors on this - I had purchased a swatch of basic colors at my LSS. That is now in the trash, as I spilled water all over it and all the colors bled into one another. Bummer! I finished off the blue by using a Tombow marker. 

I splatted this with white gouache paint that has been watered down and then spritzed it with shimmer spritz. In real life it sparkles and is really pretty.  Seam binding is colored with Copic's for the bow at the top of the tag.  Tag die is from MFT Stamps.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

Thinking of you - Fusion Card Challenge

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 used distress oxide inks on distress mixed media heavystock to create the background. Added some white gouache splatters and some dew drops for interest. Dragonfly's wings are highlighted with wink of stella. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.
