You're one in a melon

Hello.  I'm playing in the Just Us Girls die challenge today.  They are looking for summer things
in your stamps and dies.  Here is what I came up with.

The watermelon stamp and dies are from Sunny Studio. I stamped them in black Versafine ink and then heat embossed, so that I could color them with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from Memory Box.  I dug through all my cardstock and came up with colors that matched the watermelons and used them for layering and the fishtail banners. 

The stitched dot dies are from Jillian Vance Designs.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Just a note

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

 

The designer paper is from Bazzill - it's a very old paper pack that I've had in my stash forever.  The flower is from Sunny Studio and I colored it with Copic Markers. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Hello

Hi everyone. I'm sharing a favorite image from repeat impression that I colored a while ago and reworked for this new card today.

The old card had a very dark purple card base and the image kind of got lost. I added a few more layers of white to the mix this time around and it brightened things up tremendously. I used Copic's to color the image.

Stitched rectangle dies used and the purple cardstock is from Bazzill and PTI. The hello die is from Sunny Studio and it's cut three times and layered up. 

It was fun to look through all my old cards and see how I could make them different and/or better with fresh eyes. 

Have a great day!

Flowers

Hello. Playing in a couple of challenges today both centering around flowers.

I started off with Bristol smooth cardstock, versamark ink and Ranger Fine white embossing powder and stamped the Peonies and leaves. They are from Sunny Studio. I colored them with Fuse Ink from Rubbernecker using makeup blending brushes. Love how soft they came out. The striped back ground stamp is from Echo Park. The fishtail banner stripes are white heat embossed first, then sponged on blue pigment ink from Fresh ink, the pink ink on the stripes is also from Fresh ink.

Sentiments are from The Ton. I used my brother scan n cut to create a black outline layer for the sympathy sentiment.

Entering these into the following challenges:

Ombre birthday balloons

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today. Had a chance to whip up this card in between loads of laundry today.

I used My Favorite Things dies to create this CAS ombre card. Distress inks used on Bristol paper to create the ombre effect. Cut them out using the balloons die. I did add some polka dots to the lilac balloon in back just to be different. I used Sunny Studio background basics and stamped in unicorn white ink from hero arts. I did heat emboss with clear embossing powder to add a bit of shine to it. Small clear sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks a bunch!

Hello. Playing in the Less is More one layer sweet things challenge today.

Stamps are from Sunny Studio.

I stamped the cherries in Lawn Fawn's jet black ink so that I could color with Copic's. I just got the new fine nibs for my sketch markers and they work wonderfully!  Highly recommend.

Used a white gel pen to add some highlights on the cherries.
