Hello. Playing in Valentine's clean and simple challenge today over at CAS on Sunday, Moving Along With The Times: Feb Challenge 163 - LOVE HEARTS, and Just Us Girls.

The heart die is from Echo Park. I cut it out of white cardstock and then did some ink blending using Pink Fresh ink in coral reef, passion fruit, berrylicious, and candy apple. 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.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi there

Hello. Had an opportunity to make a quick card for this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge.

Flower stamp is from the TAG IT'S #3 set from Papertrey, Ink. I used Memento markers to color the stamp and huffed on it. Nuvo drops added to the centers.  The little bee is included in the set.  The Hi There sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. 

Kept it clean and simple and just added a stitched border around the edges to match the stitched square die used for the flowers. I changed up the square a bit to fit the front of the card. 

Hello

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

The leaf die is from Penny Black. I did create two backgrounds using distress inks in rusty hinge, rustic wilderness and mustard seed, then cut the leaf stems out. The side panel is also created using the same colors. 

Hello sentiment is from Lil' Inker. The tag die is from My Favorite Things.  

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Sketch challenge - dragonflies

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the sketch below.

I stepped out of my comfort zone on colors with this one. The big dragonfly is stamped in versamark and heat embossed with copper embossing powder. The background is created using the smaller dragonfly silhouettes, versamark and clear embossing powder. Then I went to work with Distress Inks in antique linen and vintage photo. The layer in the back is metallic copper.

Ducks and more ducks

Hello. Playing in the Twofer Challenge of Birds today. I've had this sentiment from IO about having all your ducks in a row for a while and it has not seen ink until now.  I decided to put it to use with an old stamp set from There She Goes, which is no longer in business.

Anyway, two cards morphed into three.....

Ducks are colored with Copic's and cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut. The bottom two sentiments are also from There She Goes.


Thanks for stopping by.

Inspiration palette - just because

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following inspirational photo.

Aren't these crocuses awesome? They are colored with Zig real brush markers.

As you can see I chose to go with the color palette on the side. Since its a bit early for Hydrangeas, I decided to go with the flower that is always early and tells me spring is right around the corner.

1705-I, Crocuses can be found here: http://www.repeatimpressions.com/

Because life's better buzzed

Hello! Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch. Also adding this into the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Coffee sentiment stamp is from Lil' Inker Designs. Coffee word die is from Sugar Pea Designs and the coffee cup die is from Paper Smooches.

I colored the coffee word die using a Copic marker. I doubled up on the coffee cup to pop it up and give it some dimension. Plaid designer paper, I believe is from Echo Park's Carta Bella line.

ETA: I forgot to enter this into the Wednesday SSS challenge of Pop it up.

Have a great weekend!

Elephant cuddle

Hello. Playing in the Less is More one layer challenge and they want  you to color it in this time around.

The cuddling elephants are from Stamping Bella. Colored with Copic's. Added some faux stitching around the perimeter for some added interest. Die is from Lil' Inkers.

Thanks for stopping in.

Just for you

Hello - this is a card that took way too longer than it should have! Specifically worked this one for the CAS Colours and Sketches Double challenge. Used the sketch and the colors below.

Stamps are from Stampendous. The peony had to be done twice, because when I was outlining it with a black marker to cover the white edges,  I marked it up.  Colored with Copic makers.

I had trouble with the lattice embossed blue panel not wanting to adhere to the card base. Then I popped up the stitched square with fun foam and it didn't want to stay square. It's one of the cards, that you cuss at along the way and finally say "whew" when done!

OK, now to clean up! Thanks for stopping by.
