You're in my thoughts

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of circle today.

Tree stamp is from Just for fun stamps. The sentiment is from WPlus9. I initially used a circle stencil to create the scene for a one layer card. However, I didn't like the sentiment I had stamped and it wasn't centered on the card base. I know, a little OCD of me but I just didn't like it. LOL. Saved the circle by cutting it out using two circle nesting dies from Spellbinders.

What do you think? Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello

Hello.

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the photo below as inspiration.

I got out my new Faber Castel polychromos to color this little guy up. Also dusted off my deckled rectangle dies from Spellbinder to cut him out. Used some vintage photo distress ink with a sponge dauber to darken the edges. Did the same on the designer paper in the background. Added some twine to this for some decoration in the back. Card base is a dark chocolate brown.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Forever friends

Hello again. Playing in two challenges today. Following the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and paired it with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of Animal Magic.

Stamps are from Pretty Pink Posh and colored with Copic's. I picked up the alphabet beads at Impress rubber stamps the last time I was in. Strung them on a piece of hemp and then glued them down. Added the stars for a bit of interest. The front piece of cardstock is die cut with an oval and then embossed with a texture plate. It's really hard to see in the picture though,  today's a bit gloomy out.

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting.


 

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge - Yikes

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following Tic-Tac-Toe board.

I went diagonal and chose;, washi tape, dimension and cats.  The stripes are washi tape. I thought they sort of resembled scratch marks. The cat panel is popped up using foam tape to create the dimension. Cat is colored with Copic's. 

So, what are you waiting for?!

Sketch challenge - Repeat Impressions

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to the following sketch to create your card.

I stamped the moose, colored with Copic's and then fussy cut it out. Stamped the pine branch using markers that were directly colored onto the stamp. Did the ol' huff method to stamp it. 

Used some plaid designer paper from Carte Bella for the back ground and turned this into a masculine birthday card. I giggle every time I see this moose! 

So, what are you waiting for?!

Watercolored roses

Hello. Playing in the challenge over at TGIF, which is to watercolor your main image.

Flowers stamps are from Simon Says Stamp.  I used Zig real brush markers and a water brush to create the effect behind the stamped roses and leaves.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches today, where they are celebrating #300!  Congrats! Here is what I did with the sketch below.

The "celebrate" die is from Tim Holtz Sizzix thinlits.  I cut it out three times and layered them so that it stands out on the card.  I took the heart stubby from Stamps by Judith and stamped it three time under that to match the designer paper. Stamped three of them on the inside too, but you can only see two in the photo.

The striped designer is from My Favorite Things and the hears are from Ms. Sparkle & Co. Dusted off my oval nestabilities for this one.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.

 

We're mermaid for each other

Hi all. Playing around with the sketch over at Less is More today. This is what I came up with.

Stamps are from My Favorite Things. I cut the mermaid out with my Brother Scan N Cut. The sentiment is bent to work with the curved edge. The edge dies are from Spellbinders.

I created the middle part using Oxide distress inks and then spritzing it with water.  Mermaid is colored with Copic's and then I added some shimmer to her fins using the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

That is for now, thanks for stopping by.

Anything goes - get well

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged with Anything goes.

I used one of the jars and only one of the flowers in the bouquet that is found on plate #9700. I just used a copic friendly black marker directly on the stamp. Long rectangle dies from Spellbinder used to frame it up and I also used the scalloped dies that match the set.  Pink and white polka dot designer paper is from lasting impressions. I cut it to 4 x 5.25 and backed it with some fun foam so that it would add some dimension to the card.  This turned out to be a bit of a girlie get well card, but I love the colors.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Perk Up

Greetings!  Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketches.

I did a bit of upcycling on this one. The corrugated panel is packaging that I saved because I knew I'd use it on a card. Love the texture it adds.

Coffee cup is from Simon Says Stamps, colored with Copic's and then cut out using my Brother ScanNCut.

Sentiment is from The Greeting Farm.  Inside coffee ring is from Altenew.

Coffee cup embossing folder is Tim Holtz.

Adding this also into the Anything Goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.





Lots of texture on this one today.  Thanks for stopping in.

Inspiration palette challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to create something using the inspiration photo below.

I used the flower stamps located HERE and stamped them randomly using the colors in the palette above. I used pigment inks from Fresh Ink for Impress cards and crafts which is a local stamp shop for me. 

Once the inks were dry, I used a border die from Spellbinders to cut a few panels out. Stuck them on a white card panel and then added that to a mint card base. I used Fabrika Decoru in pink and white for the flower centers. Which you can see in the close up photo above. Love this stuff and you can find it here.
