Just because

Hi all. Here's a card I created with the color combo listed below from The Paper Players.

I don't have these exact colors but used what I had on hand in my ink stash. Hero Arts cheese puff and Memories Alligator will have to do.

Leaf stamp is a very old one from Darice.

Sentiment is from Concord & 9th. I added some self adhesive black pearls from Queen & Co. below the sentiment to add additional interest.

Card base is black cardstock and I kept this one pretty clean and simple this time around. Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of you!

Hi everyone! Here's a CAS card for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge this week. Here is the sketch.

Here is what I did with it!

Stamps are from Verve. I used Memento markers in Bamboo Leaves and Rose Bud to color the stamp and then huffed to get a good impression. Summer sky is sponged around it after cutting it out using a die from My favorite Things.

Pink gingham paper is from A*Muse and the pink paper is out of my scrap stash. Kaisercraft pearls used to highlight the centers of the flowers and pink ones for the left hand side.

Thanks for stopping by!

Card Sketch #70 - Father's Day puzzle

Hi everyone! Here's sketch #70 - measuring the normal A2 size of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. As you can see I turned this one into a puzzle of sorts. I used glossy cardstock and a stencil to create the fern back ground and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. The fern was sponged on with an Inkssentials blending foam by Ranger and Memories pigment ink in Alligator. Once I created the back ground, I cut it up and then re-assembled it onto a black card base. I stamped the Happy Father's Day onto a piece of cork and then cut it out with the large tag punch from Stampin' Up! The spring moss grosgrain ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.
Supplies:


The stencil is from the crafters work shop that I found at one of my LSS. A big shout out for the Memories pigment ink by Stewart Superior - awesome colors that work wonderfully with embossing! I'm also a big fan of their line of chalk inks, too! I've pretty much stayed with the Stewart Superior brands of inks - from their Palette line to their Memories line - nothing but good quality stuff!!!

Have a creative weekend!
