Congrats

Hello everyone. Welcome to another challenge over at The Flower Challenge.  We are celebrating 100 challenges this go around and we have prizes to give away for playing along.  We are looking for you to add circles to your flower cards.  

The circle embossing folder is from Penny Back. I surrounded it with flowers cut from Pink Fresh Studio dies.  I did use inks color the dies cuts before adding them around the embossing.  The congrats sentiment is from Tim Holtz sizzix dies set. 

I'm giving away this retired Pink Fresh Studio set, which I have never used. We will be drawing winners randomly.  I hope you join us!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love...

Hello. I'm playing in The Paper Players "Love is in the air" theme challenge today.

The heart die is from Echo Park.  I used a distress background that I created using lumberjack plaid that has been sitting in my stash for a while.  I popped up each little heart with a foam square to give this a bit of dimension. 

The sentiment is an old one from Technique Tuesday.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Holidays

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

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Season's Tweetings

Hi everyone! It's Laurie and I'm back with a new soon-to-be-released stamp set called Sweaon's Tweetings. 

This is such a cute bird set for the Holidays or winter cards. I stamped each of the birds and the tree in the sections created by the postage stamp die. Each of them is colored using Copic Markers. 

I added a bit of texture to the owl using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove some of the color. I also added some glossy accents to the yellow bird's glasses. In real life, it shines! 

Stay tuned as I will have another card using this set next Friday. 

Thank you

Hello - Playing in the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I used the middle row across. 

The die is from Gina Marie Designs called cut in cut out daisy. I used yellow cardstock from Papertrey, Ink as a cardbase. Tim Holtz watercolor paper is used to cut out the thank you sentiment. I have NO idea who makes it either - I search high and low in order to find it and had no luck. So if you're seeing this and know who makes it, please let me know in the comments. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note

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

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Today's struggle is tomorrow's power

Hello and happy new year! Playing in the simple TGIF challenge today. 

The flower stamp is from Trinity stamps. The sentiment is from Pink Fresh Studio. I used Olo alcohol markers and Copic markers to color the flowers. 

I matted it in yellow and then black before adhering it to a white cardstock base.

Thanks for stopping by.

Textured Poinsettia

Hello. Playing in the #563 Freshly Made Sketch Challenge today. 

I used a red/pink background from my stash to cut the poinsettia out. Added some fir branches around it and stuck a circle frame in gold per the sketch. 

I purposely left the strings (and added a few more) to the broadcloth panel. I just liked the texture and rustic look of it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just for you

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

 

Sentiment is from a Jillian Vance Design. I've had the designer paper in my stash for years and dug it out to use on this. It reminded me of the rug in the photo.
