True love lasts forever

Hello. For world card making day, I decided to join the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I do have some holiday cards in the works but wanted to share new stamp instead.

The leaf and sentiment stamps are from Unity.  I used eucalyptus and juniper ink from Simon Says Stamp on the leaf.  I found the gingham and a matching cardstock in my stash. The blanket stitch square die is from Pink Fresh Studio.

Thanks for stopping by.

It's your day, Celebrate!

Hello.  I found some time today to play in this week's Freshly Made Sketch.  

I used the Beyond Measure pink fresh studio stamp, stencil and die to make this. I did cut it down to fit the sketch. The sentiment is from Waffle flower sweet birthday sentiment stamps. Added some self-adhesive black pearls from Hero Arts to the center of the flowers and smaller ones around the flower spray.  The blanket stitch cover die is also from Pink fresh studio, but the circle one is from Craft addiction UK.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending a little note

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges today with this card.

I started out with the sketch over at Freshly Made sketches and went from there.

The sentiment is from The Stamp Market. The stencil is from Echo Park, and I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks on the majority of the leaves.  The lighter gold ink is from Pink Fresh Studio.  The twine is a little bit high, but still looks pretty good.  Added a bow for whimsy.  The card panel is popped up using foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by.

Believe in yourself

Hello. Playing with the latest sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I used items from Simon Says Stamp A little artsy Card Kit. The sentiment is also from Simon but out of the Artful Pallet kit.

I did add a strip of Tim Holtz black cardstock along the side of the designer paper out of the kit.  I like how it defined the paper. The daisy is colored using SSS ink with a blending brush using the stencil that came in the kit.  Lastly, I added a few paint splatters. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Thank you - TSOT#693

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

I used a stencil as the main focus for this card.  Eucalyptus and juniper ink from Simon Says Stamp was ink blended through the stencil.  The sentiment is from My favorite Things.  

The circle charms are made using jump rings, glossy accents and designer paper. So much fun to make and use as dimensional interest on cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this birthday card today.

I started off with the sketch over at Just add Ink.  The fern is a very old rubber stamp from the former Angel Company.  I stamped it in juniper dye ink from Simon Says Stamp.  The birthday sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. I heat embossed it with alabaster embossing powder from Brutus Munroe.  The circle "31" is made using a jump ring and glossy accents over a section of a numbered dsp that I had in my stash.

Here are the challenges for this card.

Hello

Hello!  I'm playing in several challenges today with this card.  I started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, opting for a one-layer card and using a stencil.

The mint background grunge stamp is from Globeland.  The leaf is from Stampin.com, which is no longer in business.  The sentiment is from my favorite things.  I stenciled the mini dragonfly using black texture paste from Ranger.  

Here are the challenges:

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls, anything goes with a stencil challenge today.

The confetti stencil used here is from Waffle Flower.  I used inks from Simon Says Stamp to create the party background.  The Birthday die is cut from Tim Holtz alcohol ink cardstock, and I used three layers of basic black cardstock behind it to add dimension.

Kept it clean and simple for all genders and ages.

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.

Hello - TSOT#673

Hello! It's time for a new sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. 

I used the cone flower die from Simon Says Stamp as the focal point, along with the big hello die from SSS CZ Designs.

I cut the flowers out of basic white cardstock and then blended butter and mocha ink from SSS to color them accordingly.  The designer paper is from Lasting Impressions. 

Here is the link to play along. >>> TSOT

Just a note

Hello. I'm playing in the one-layer sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today. It's been ages since I've made a one-layer card. 

I ink blended the circle using inks from Simon Says Stamp.  The butterfly is an old wood block stamp from Stamin Up!  The sentiment comes from The Ton, and I used a piercing die from Gina Marie Designs to add some interest around the perimeter of the card. 

This card came together quickly. Thanks for stopping in.

A little note - SSC363

Hello. We have a new color inspiration up over at Sunday Stamps.

The sentiment is an old $1 stamp from Studio G.  I used Simon Says Stamp saturated ink to match the colors in the photo below.  The card base is a deep navy blue. The flower stencil is from Gina K Designs.

Thanks for dropping by! 

With Sympathy - SSC361

Hello. I'm the hostess for the sketch challenge this time around over at Sunday Stamps. Here is the card that I created first, which inspired the sketch.

The leaf is ink-blended through a stencil using Simon Says Stamps ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I kept this clean and simple as sympathy cards sort of need to be that way, in my opinion.    Below is the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your inspired by the sketch.
