Have a wonderful day - TSOT#694

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

I went with a subtle take on the designer paper using a sky/cloud piece from the Craft Consortium.  The flower dies are from Gummiapan.  I used a bit of silver embossing powder around the holes in the flowers to give it a bit more dimension and interest.  Sentiment is from The Ton and the stitched cover die is from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with this card.

The flower dies are from Sizzix (Simon Hurley). I used up a few of my scraps in my stash box for the flowers.  Always nice to try to deplete that box! Sentiment is from The Ton and the Dragonfly die is a new one from Craft Addiction UK. I added a bit of sparkle to the wings with a glitter brush from Scrapbook.com.

I embossed the smaller stamp die cut using a 3D embossing folder from Honey Bee stamps. Love the texture it provides as a bit of dimension in the background.  Added a bit of jute string to it as well and ended up really liking how it framed up the sentiment. 

Entering this into the following challenges:

I kept mine very clean and simple this go around.  The flower die is from Simon Says Stamp and I colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from The Ton.  I did use the same copic marker to color the satin ribbon that I used on top of the blue gingham designer paper.

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.

So very happy for you TFC#103

Hello everyone! We have a new challenge over at The Flower Challenge. We want to see embossing, either heat or dry.  

I used an embossing folder from Spellbinders that I've had for a bit but haven't used.

The flower stamp is from Just for Fun. I used Tombow markers to color directly on the stamp and reactivated the ink by huffing on it.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Hi everyone. I spent yesterday at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and spent way too much money. However, here is one of the stamp and stencil sets I purchased from The Ton.

I used color fuse inks from Brass and Bliss with the stencil first, then stamped over it with the outline stamp.  The thanks sentiment is part of the set.

I'm entering this into the following challenge.

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use.

 

The sentiment is from The Ton. I used a few dies from different companies to create the fall cluster. Impression Obsession, Lawn Fawn, Memory Box to name a few. The oval comes from Avery Elle's cover plate quilted die. 

I used some distress inks to highlight the leaves and the scalloped border is cut from some burlap that I had in my stash.

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls stencil challenge today.

I created my own stencil using the postage die from Penny Black. Using a blending brush and tumbled glass distress oxide inks created a soft glow to frame up the flowers. Those are from studio light, the flower centers, leaves, and stems were colored with copics.  The sentiment is from The Ton and is popped up using foam tape.

The yellow gingham ribbon was unearthed from my ribbon stash and tied with the bow easy.

Also adding this into the tic-tac-toe challenge #250. 

Thanks for stopping by.

So very happy for you

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

The flower dies are from Papertrey, Inc. I cut them out of white cardstock then ink blended over them using SSS pawsitively saturated ink in cheeky and blush.  White buttons are used for the centers of the flowers and I had to tie them with twine to get a cute bow for the centers on each.

The sentiment is from The Ton. The dot outline die is from a blueprints die collection from MFT stamps. Tiny dew drops from Memory Box finish this off.

Adding this to the following challenges.
