You're some kind of wonderful

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges today with this card.


The sunflower stamp is an old one (an a goodie) from the former Angel Company.  I colored it with Copic markers.  Tag die is from Papertrey, Ink.

The yellow gingham designer paper is also old from my A*Muse studio stash.  I cut a strip of green cardstock and added a length of self-adhesive lace border to it for added interest.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

Congratulations

I'm playing in a few challenges today with the following card.


I started with the stencil in the background from The Crafters Workshop.  I used tumbled glass oxide ink and a blending brush to get the stained glass look from the stencil.  Then I cut two skinny strips of black cardstock to frame it out. 

The tulip stamp is from Papertrey, Ink and colored with Copic markers.  The congratulations sentiment is from Altenew.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges with this card today. Challenges listed below.  I started with the sketch over at FMS and added dies and stencils per the challenges below. 


I started with a panel of watercolor paper and painted on the blue background using Faber Castell gelatos.  Then I used some modeling paste with a brick stencil to create the section for the daisies.  They are a new to me die from Simon Says Stamp.  Sentiment and die are from My Favorite Things.

Skating snowman

Hello. Sharing this card for the winter challenge over at Just Us Girls and Simply Clean & Simple. 


The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I colored him using Copic markers.  The snow is texture paste through a stencil with rock candy glitter dusted over it.  

I decided not to put a sentiment on, as I picture him skating to silence in his own little world. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by.

You're one in a melon

Hello.  I'm playing in the Just Us Girls die challenge today.  They are looking for summer things
in your stamps and dies.  Here is what I came up with.


The watermelon stamp and dies are from Sunny Studio. I stamped them in black Versafine ink and then heat embossed, so that I could color them with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from Memory Box.  I dug through all my cardstock and came up with colors that matched the watermelons and used them for layering and the fishtail banners. 

The stitched dot dies are from Jillian Vance Designs.

Thanks for stopping by.

Start each day



I used the leaf 3D embossing folder from Tim Holtz and then added some paper piercing. I had an extra leaf left over from the first card I made and used it here.  Add the sentiment from TH Stampers Anonymous and a few gold pearls.  The brown gingham ribbon was found in my ribbon stash. I love how it works here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello

Hi everyone. I'm participating in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and also adding this to the leaves challenge over at Just Us Girls.


The tag die is from Gummiapan. I made a background using distress inks and heavy-weight mixed media paper to create some fall leaf die cuts.  The dies are from Lawn Fawn.  The designer paper is from Moda Scrap. I ended up spritzing the leaves with some distress spritz and you can see it on the photo below, as it doesn't always photograph well.


Thanks for stopping by.

Thnking of you

Hello.  Playing in the anything goes with a stencil challenge over at Just Us Girls today.


The stencils are from Gina K Designs and I used Simon says stamp pawsitively saturated inks.  I have no clue makes the sentiment - I had this stamped up in my sentiment stash and now cannot find the stamp set. UGH!  The dotted rectangle die is from MFT. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending best wishes

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls stencil challenge today.


I created my own stencil using the postage die from Penny Black. Using a blending brush and tumbled glass distress oxide inks created a soft glow to frame up the flowers. Those are from studio light, the flower centers, leaves, and stems were colored with copics.  The sentiment is from The Ton and is popped up using foam tape.

The yellow gingham ribbon was unearthed from my ribbon stash and tied with the bow easy.

Also adding this into the tic-tac-toe challenge #250. 

Thanks for stopping by.

The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink and the silver arrow is part of a die set from Lil' Inkers. I cut it out of some recycled foil.
