Sketch challenge over at Repeat Impressions

Hi all! It's sketch time over at The House that Stamps built/Repeat Impressions. Here is the sketch and what I did with it.

I stayed pretty true to the sketch except that my circle in back is the same size as the one in front.

The stamp is colored with Memento markers and spritzed with water. I did a section at a time and then cut it out using the circle nestie. This stamp is quartet series with the hearts and sentiment all together. It's #8500 in the unmounted sheets.

I added some red enameled dots (home made melted pony beads) and the green is from Nuvo Crystal drops.

Stitched circle and outline Dies used are from Lil' Inker's.

So, there you have it. Now it's your turn to play, you could win a gift certificate to Repeat Impressions, just link up your creations to the blog below.

Happy bird day

Hi there. Here's my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Stamps are from Technique Tuesday. Birds are colored with Copic's.

Musical notes are also in the set. I stamped them vertically after coloring the cardstock with distress inks.

Yellow dots are homemade using pony beads and melted in the oven. I almost didn't add them on, but thought the card looked a bit empty and needed some bling.

I added the yellow ink (Lawn Fawn, butter) around the squares so that the stood out a bit again the white. I just used a make up sponge to apply it.

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

Mojo 379 - Birthday blessings

Hi everyone! I decided to give this weeks Mojo Monday a try and here are the results.

All stamps are from Verve. I colored the cupcake with Copic's and now I want a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting! I'm arguing that the yellow around the bottom of the cupcake is the paper.

Designer paper is from Authentique. I used a few more of the pony beads that I melted down. The white/ivory ones kind of have a yellow tinge to it, so they worked well on the yellow designer paper. The black ones are a little bit smaller and work well in the top right hand corner. I found when melting the beads that you can adjust the size by the amount of time spent in the oven. The only this I hate, is trying to get them glued on. I prefer the self adhesive ones, still.

Bow is tied with the Bow Easy. I manipulated the bow ends so that they would lay flat on top of the strip using clear glue squares.

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