Snowflake impression

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today. Simon Says Stamp is looking for snow and I paired it with the Tuesday Morning Sketch.

Snowflake stamp is from Inspired by Stamping called snowflake wonder. I took a piece of cardstock and heat embossed it three times using silver embossing powder. Then I inked up the snowflake with versamark, and while the silver panel was still warm, I impressed the snowflake into it.  It's really cool up close. I used the same stamp in dark blue ink on the tag.  

Background snow stamp is from Rubbernecker and it is heat embossed using a pearl embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by and take care!

CAS birthday card

Hi everyone. Playing in several challenges today.  Started off using the sketch over at CAS(e) this sketch.

Flower stamp is from Inspired by Stamping. I did cut off a few leaves and buds to just focus on the flowers. I did watercolor wash in pink and purple distress and oxide inks. Spritzed it with water and added some wink of stella for bling and sparkle.

Leaf stems are cut from dies from Carte Bella. I added some detailing with forest green ink from hero arts. Sentiment is from Bible Verses.

Adding this into the following challenges:

Get well soon - Color challenge #272

Hello - it's color week over at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I had to dig around in my stash of papers to come up with colors that went with the graphic above. My yellow is a bit bright, but at least its cheerful. Stamps and dies are from Avery Elle. Stitched tag die is from My Favorite Things. 

Inks: Fresh pigment ink in Pear, Cheerful ink from Versafine Clair (really, that's what it's called). That embossing folder, I think it came free with a stamping magazine I purchased a while ago.  Anyway, I stamped a few flowers on the inside of the card as well.

I made a second card for this color combo because I goofed and did two get well cards. I decided to leave the first one, but here is the second.

The flower die is from Simon Says Stamp - it's in their envelop die set. I just lined it up three times and then taped strips of coordinating cardstock behind it. Fabrika Decoru white enamel used for the flower centers. Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.

Just because

Hello.  Playing in the sketch challenge over at TGIF challenges today.

Flower stamp is from Inspired by Stamping. I used Copic markers to color it.  Black gingham designer paper is from Making Memories.

I pulled out my small scalloped border die to use on the right side per the sketch. I did an a sentiment to this as it seemed to be missing "something" and looked unfinished.

Again, adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of using patterned paper.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

 

Happy Everything

Hello. Playing in the color challenge over at Just us Girls.

Floral bouquet stamp from Inspired by Stamping. Sentiment by Mama Elephant.  Colored in Copic's and cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut.

Have a great weekend!

Congrats!

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

Cherry blossom stamp is from Inspired by Stamping. Stamped in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copic's.

Sentiment stamp is from Pretty Pink Posh. The old, old, old designer paper is from Dena's closet from Colorbok. It's a double sided 8 x 8 paper pack that I've hoarded for years.  Wish they still made it, sigh!

Thanks for stopping by!

Normal

Hi there. I unintentionally decided to play in Darnell's April Fools NBUS challenge. I decided to play along with NBUS, but ended adding a few Boo Boo's on this card and just had to giggle!

Stamps are from Inspired by Stamping.

I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the stitched die from Lil Inkers. I used the negative space to lightly draw pencil marks in the corners. This was my guide on where to stamp the flowers and leaves.

I used Fresh Ink from Impress cards and crafts, which is a pigment ink. I didn't let it dry long enough. Went to erase my pencil lines and smudged the flowers and leaves on the lower left. I also had some pink ink on one of my fingernails, which then I noticed on the sentiment panel. I tried to sand it off, but you can still see it.

What a fun challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Magnolias

Hi everyone. Here's a card that combines two challenges today.

I started off with the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. I did use a long rectangle instead of the circle, though.

Magnolia stamp is from Inspired by Stamping. I stamped it onto Arches hot press water color paper and then water colored it using my Zig real brush water color markers.

Purple designer/patterned paper is from My Favorite Things and the thanks is a die cut. I did use some fun foam to add some thickness to it so it would stand out.

Enamel dots are from Queen & Co.  So, that gives me a tic-tac-toe for The Paper Players Challenge.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.
