Just wanted to say hello - TSOT#675

 Hello, and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.

I decided to go with a Criss Cross Card for this challenge as I haven't done one in ages and turned the sketch on its side.

Designer paper is from Stamperia Hidden Grove paper pack.   The base of the card is dark chocolate from SSS. 

Mushrooms are stencils and dies from Pink Fresh Studio. To get the spots on the mushrooms, I used an old splatter stamp from SU, and heat embossed it with fine detail white powder.   The insert card has a tab that is created from an old SU punch.  Tied a bow using some jute string and called it done.

Here is the link to play along.

A little note

Hello. Here is a last-minute entry into this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge. 

The mum flower die is from Honey Bee stamps. I cut it out using a creamy cardstock then blended ink from Pink Fresh (passion fruit, berrylicious, and candy apple) onto the individual petals and green ink for the leaf. The sentiment is an old $1 stamp from Studio G. 

It's been warm and rainy here and this flower helped to brighten my day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hello. Playing in the inspiration board challenge over at Just add ink today.

The big flower spray is from Pink Fresh Studio. Used the stencils and Simon Says Stamp pawsitively saturated ink to color it.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Background is created using the same ink, and a Script background stamp from My Favorite Things. Heat embossed the script handwriting with clear EP and then blended ink over it. Added some splatter and some rub on's from 49th and Market to complete the card. Might need to make the photo bigger to see the details.

Sometimes there are no words

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches today.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions sweet sunflower stamp set. It appears that there is a teenie tiny heart in the O on NO.  Which makes it kind of sweet.

The flowers are washi tape from Pink Fresh Studio, and I also used coordinating dies to cut them out.  Crafty Meraki crafty plaid background die used over a base of white cardstock. 

Gold DMC floss was used for the bow to match the gold foiling in the washi tape.

The thank you die-cut words are from Tim Holtz Sizzix. I cut them out three times, stacked them, and then added glossy accents to them. Which you can't really tell by the photo.  Stitched background die is form C9.
