Happiest of birthdays - SSC395

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  We have another sketch challenge for you today.

The background is an embossing folder from Stampin Up!  I paired it with the eucalyptus die cuts and a birthday sentiment form The Stamp Market.  I used a length of sticky back cork ribbon for the strip. It's super fragile too.  Self-adhesive pearls complete the card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

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

The sunflower stamp is an old one (an a goodie) from the former Angel Company.  I colored it with Copic markers.  Tag die is from Papertrey, Ink.

The yellow gingham designer paper is also old from my A*Muse studio stash.  I cut a strip of green cardstock and added a length of self-adhesive lace border to it for added interest.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

From me to you

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with some new dies and stamps from Gummiapan.

The heart tag and the notebook border are new as is the type background stamp.  I used it on the smaller heart dies (PTI) as well, using antique linen oxide ink. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see that.  The sentiment stamps on the heart tag are from The Stamp Market and the xoxo is from Whimsy stamps.  

I used walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the type panel and added the small bow to the tag and called this done.

By the way, Color Me Nordic is a US based online store for Gummiapan dies, stamps and they're also carrying Craft Addiction UK dies too.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

I ink blended an oval for the background and raised the sentiment panel a bit for this one.  I used Simon Says Stamp marine blue ink and stenciled through a die cut oval first.  Then I stamped the flower branch through it as well.  The stamp is from Alison Bombers Paper Artsy collection, and I used Tombow markers and huffed on them to stamp. 

Sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The little banner die is from Technique Tuesday.

Hope you join us for this sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Use up your scraps! 

I used up some scraps that I had from the daisy dsp paper pack from Moda Scrap.  The daisy die is from The Stamp Market, and the "thanks" die is from Altenew.  Yep, that is vellum that the daisy is attached to.  I wanted to make the DSP visible so that it all ties together. 

The sketch is intended to be a scrap buster, so hope to see your cards over at Sunday Stamps! 

Take Care!

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This week we have a photo prompt for you. 

I used dark blue paper in three shades behind the white leaf outline, but it's so hard to tell in the photo.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The leaf dies are from Gina K Designs.  I used three blue gems from Honey Bee Stamps in the middle of the leaves.  

Thanks for stopping by.

ETA: entering this into the Allsort Challenge of Trees, leaves and plants.

Hello, and welcome to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  So many possibilities to use up some designer paper on this one.

The designer paper is from Moda Scrap that I've been hoarding for a while. ;-) The flower bud is from Altenew, with a few Marth Stewart leaf punches behind it.  The sentiment is from the Stamp Market. The rectangle dot stitch dies are from Jillian Vance Designs. 

Here is the sketch and you can link up your cards here!

Happy Bee-Day

Hello. I'm playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I recently picked up a new set of clear stamps at Michaels (their Recollections line) that mostly featured bugs. I was drawn to the bee and dragonfly in the set. Anywho, here is the bee stamped and embossed so that I could color it with Copics. I fussy-cut it out and popped it up on top of the honeycomb with foam tape.  

The designer paper is from Moda Scrap, and the sentiment is from Woodware. 

Thanks for popping in to take a look.

Hello. I'm participating in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches today. What I had in mind and what I ended up with were very far apart. LOL.

The eucalyptus paper is from Concord & 9th.  I cut apart the distress brick die cut from Picket Fence to work in both squares.  The leaf branch is cut from both black and eucalyptus paper and layered together so it stands out a bit more.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market, and the small dragonfly is an oldie but goodie from Memory Box.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happiest of Birthdays - SSC357

Hello.  Time for another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. The challenge is a color or inspiration photo using the prompt below.  

I decided to go with the grapes and created a wine label using Bing A.I. I printed it out on 80lb cardstock and used a label die from PTI to cut it out. 

The grape leaf dies are from Memory Box.  I highlighted them with inks and a white gel pen. The happiest of birthdays sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The inside of the card is below and the sentiment and wine bottle are from Hero Arts. 

Thanks for stopping by!
