Sending my sympathies

Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is my take on several challenges today.

I've had the bloom colored up and sitting in my "to make" box for a while now. It went perfect with the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Stamp is from Altenew. Added some sparkle to it with the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

Sentiment and the small polka dot stamps are from Papertrey, Ink.  Used Fresh pigment ink in pink lemonade to go with the ink in the flower. The designer pink posy dot paper is from Lasting Impressions that I've been hoarding. I just cut up the 8 x 11.5 sheet and used it on a card previously, so this one was ready and waiting. Navy cardstock used as the base card and to layer.

The dew drops are from Katscrappiness, which I bought in a mixed sized package. Link to her shop is on my side bar.

Here are the challenges I'm entering this into. 

Challenges:
Sunday Stamps - sketch
Simon Says Stamp - going dotty
TGIF Challenges - with deepest sympathy
Addicted to CAS - Pink 

Thanks for stopping by.

Mermaid shaker card

Hi all. Just got my Monthly Hero kit yesterday and this is what came about as I played around with it.

Back ground is done using distress oxide inks. Blended broken china and cracked pistachio then used the stencil included in the kit with some water to get a pretty cool effect.

Tule used instead of acetate on the shaker window.  Glued some starfish onto it for some added color. The mermaid is stamped in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored with Copic's. I added some sparkle to her using a clear glitter spectrum sparkle pen.

The photo is kind of dark, but I also added a spritz or two of sparkle to the overall card using shimmer spritz. Sequins can be found at Katscrappiness - link on side bar. I did not use the ones that came in the kit.

The shaker panel is popped up onto the card base using fun foam. That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
 

Inspiration palette challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to create something using the inspiration photo below.

I used the flower stamps located HERE and stamped them randomly using the colors in the palette above. I used pigment inks from Fresh Ink for Impress cards and crafts which is a local stamp shop for me. 

Once the inks were dry, I used a border die from Spellbinders to cut a few panels out. Stuck them on a white card panel and then added that to a mint card base. I used Fabrika Decoru in pink and white for the flower centers. Which you can see in the close up photo above. Love this stuff and you can find it here.

So, what are you waiting for?!

look on the bright side

Hi everyone.  Had some time today to make this card for the resist challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and also paired it with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Used one of the flower and leaf solid stamps from Altenew's floral shadow set. Stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed it using clear embossing powder.

Distress ink in weathered wood and blueprint sketch used to color the back ground.

Sentiment is from Pink Fresh Studio's Indigo Hills set.  Navy satin ribbon is from my stash and dark navy cardstock is used on the back ground panel.

Sequins are from Kat Scrappiness.

Thanks for looking!

Water color thank you

Hello! Playing in the Less is More color challenge today and they are looking for colors that are found on a Peacock.

I used some water colors that come in a tube (purchased at Hobby Lobby, their brand) to create this. I have to tell you that I will not use these again because of the smell. YUK! They were relatively inexpensive, so they will go in the trash and I will try again with another well know brand.

Thank you die and stamps are from WPlus9.

Used the Tim Holtz marker spritzer to add some black ink dots around the water colors, then finished off with some sequins that matched the color theme.  Distressed the edges of the water color paper and added it to a black card base and called it done.

Thanks for stopping by.
