Thanks

Hi there! I'm playing in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches with this card.

The circle and strip behind it were taken from a master board I created with mixed media paper and several different mediums.  Crackle paste was used as well as gesso, mattints, paints, etc. 

The thanks die has been in my stash forever, so I have no idea who the maker is.  The leaf die is an old one from Memory Box, and lastly the border dot stitched die is from Jillian Vance Designs.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday - TSOT#674

Hello. It's time for another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

This was a fun background to make. A lot of smooching and layering going on! 

Inks are from Simon Says Stamp - their pawsitively saturated inks react with water brilliantly.  The  number stencil is from Tim Holtz, and I used some crackle embossing paste from Ranger.  The birthday sentiment die was cut from TH black alcohol ink cardstock. I also used a script stamp from Darkroom Door within the background. 

To create the circles, I used the top of an old Jello container, two different bottle caps I had laying around with the darkest blue ink, then spritzed with water.   

Below is the sketch and here is the link to play in the challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by.
