Merry Christmas - SSC368

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Michael's brand of wood block stamps. I got it in their Christmas section several years ago. I stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed it with gold to match the strip of gold mirror cardstock on the left.

The sprig die cuts are made from several companies' dies.  Echo Park, Simon Says Stamp, Carta Bella, etc.  I did add some self-adhesive white pearls to resemble berries on the branch.

Thanks for stopping by.

Let it snow - SSC367

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

This sketch is a good one to add to your arsenal for repeated use!   

The stencil in the background is done with color fuse ink from Rubbernecker (Brass & Bliss).  The sentiment is from PTI and stamped in Versafine ink.  The snowflake is from SSS and cut out of neenah cardstock.  Then I decided to use some navy blue glitter on it.

I'm not a fan of glitter, but this turned out pretty good.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

Congratualations - SSC366

I hope you play along.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs! - SSC365

Hi all. We have a new sketch up over at Sunday Stamps.  

The corner dies are from Papertrey, Ink that I've had in my stash forever.  The gingham paper comes from Echo Park and the circle hugs stamp is from Concord & 9th.  I also used C&9 eucalyptus ink and cardstock.

This should be a fun sketch - I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.

Get well soon - SSC364

Hi there. There is a new sketch up over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I did with it.

The flowers are from Penny Black.  I stamped them with Versafine ink onto watercolor paper. I did heat emboss them so that the watercolors would pool a bit with the Mei Liang watercolors.  After they dried, I used a black gel pen to enhance the centers and then fussy cut them out. 

The ribbon is colored with a copic marker to match.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll join us for the sketch.

A little note - SSC363

Hello - SSC362

Hi everyone. It's time for a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This time we have a sketch from Melissa to try.

I used an alcohol ink background that I had in my stash to create the card using the sketch.  As you can see, I did some ink lifting, which left those wonderful ghost leaves in the background.  The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  Here is the sketch. 

Thanks for stopping 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.

Happy Birthday - SSC360
