Thinking of you

Hello. I decided to play in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to blend the background with one of the rectangle stencils from Trinity Stamps. The sentiment is from MFT Stamps, and the daisy die is from Simon Says Stamp. To make it stand out a bit more, I added a thin outline frame using a die from Honey Bee Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.

Nothing like an apron full of Grill utensils to wish a guy a Happy Birthday.  Stamps and dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, except for the Happy Birthday - which is from Jaded Blossom.  Plaid designer paper is from Papertrey, Ink.

Take care of yourself - TSOT642

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 flower die is from Honey Bee and I used SSS pawsitively saturated ink in cheeky, blush, pucker, field, and fairway to color the white card stock.  The sentiment strip is from a stamp set from Pink and Main. I stamped it using Versafine ink and then heat embossed it with clear powder. I used a bit of washi tape for the center stripe.

A little note

Hello. Here is a last-minute entry into this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge. 

The mum flower die is from Honey Bee stamps. I cut it out using a creamy cardstock then blended ink from Pink Fresh (passion fruit, berrylicious, and candy apple) onto the individual petals and green ink for the leaf. The sentiment is an old $1 stamp from Studio G. 

It's been warm and rainy here and this flower helped to brighten my day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players challenge happy "bird" day.

Flowers are stenciled, stamped, and cut out using supplies from Pink Fresh Studio. Bird die is from Honey Bee stamps. I added some yellow highlighting to his chest using butter ink from Hero arts and a blending brush.  Tiny birthday greeting is from Simon says stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Peace, love & joy

Hello. The sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches had my creative juices flowing and here is what I did with it.  I will tell you it was challenging for me, too.

I took creative liberties with the sentiment placement and used the house and church as my circles. 

Dies are from Honey Bee stamps. I used a few Copic markers to color the house, window frames, etc.  To get the glow for the church windows, I used a yellow Copic marker on vellum.

Snowfall grit paste used through a stencil to create the snowy scene. The hills are done using dies and foam tape to get a bit of dimension. The sentiment is from Impress cards and crafts. 

I'm not good at putting together small die cuts, so this was a labor of love for me. I had an idea in my head and I stuck with it to the bitter end. LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Thinking of you

Hello. This sketch over at The Paper Players caught my eye today and decided to give it a go.

I did a bit of ink smooching with distress inks in fall colors onto watercolor paper. Cut these leaves out using dies from Lawn Fawn. I did outline the outer edges with a small blending brush and ground espresso distress ink. The olive green panel is embossed with the leaf pin dot cover die from Honey Bee.  Sentiment is from The Stamp Market. Lastly, the designer paper is from PTI.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday!
