Flakes - SSC350

Hello. Welcome back. Today over at Sunday Stamps we have a sketch to play with.

This card took me way tooooo long to make. LOL.  

The snowflake background stitched die is from Waffleflower.  The top hat is a die from Jaded Blossom and the sentiment is from a retired company called There she Goes stamps.  I used black rhinestones for the eyes on the snowman and cut the noses out of scrap orange paper. 

Below is the sketch for you. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween

Hi there. Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #508 today.  

I used the new Villainous Potion inks on this. I paired with with Kitsch Flamingo and shaded lilac. Also added some VP glaze into the nix too. The spider web is done using Unicorn ink from Hero Arts and a stencil. Deckled die is from Gina Marie Designs.

Halloween sentiment is from the former There she goes company and the bats are from Papertrey, Ink. The tiny spider is a brad (I cut off the ends and glued it on) and the bat is from DCWV. I cut him out three times and after stamping the sentiment and heat embossing it with detail white, I popped him up on an action wobbler. It turned out so cute!

Ducks and more ducks

Hello. Playing in the Twofer Challenge of Birds today. I've had this sentiment from IO about having all your ducks in a row for a while and it has not seen ink until now.  I decided to put it to use with an old stamp set from There She Goes, which is no longer in business.

Anyway, two cards morphed into three.....

Ducks are colored with Copic's and cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut. The bottom two sentiments are also from There She Goes.

Sketch challenge #273

Hello, here is sketch #273 over at CAS Colours & Sketches.

Sweet pea stamp is a stamp from the former There She Goes stamps. Colored with Copic's. Designer paper is from paper pack; Hello Beautiful from Marta Piekarczyk. Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I didn't realize that I made two get well cards for this month. However, I will tell you that my boss was in Minnesota for meetings and ended up having to go to the Hospital in an ambulance, while she was there. She lives in California, so you can imagine what she was going through. She was on my mind while I was making cards for the challenges.

Thank you to the DT members over at CAS Colours & Sketches for having me as a guest designer for the month of May.

Have a wonderful day.

Watercolored Pumpkins

Hi all. I got a chance (between loads of laundry) to make this card for two challenges today.  The Paper Players theme is Halloween and Addicted to CAS is watercolor. Here is what I did with them.

The pumpkin stamp is a very old one from Inkadinkado. I stamped it on watercolor paper, heat embossed it then painted then with my Zig real brush markers.

Sentiment is from the former There She Goes stamp company.

Designer paper is from American Crafts.


Back to work I must get - thanks for stopping in.

Just for you

Hi everyone! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Flower stamp is from the former There She Goes stamp company. I stamped it in Versafine ink then heat embossed it so that I could do a bit of water coloring with my Zig markers.

Designer paper is from My Favorite Things and the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.

I haven't used my oval nestabilities in so long - fun to dig them out and play around again.

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Live like it's summer

Hello everyone. Here is my take on pairing up two challenges today.

Less is More theme this week is Exotic and The Paper Players wanted something sweet.

Exotic sweet tropical drinks paired with some jungle leaves - I think that covers it.

Jungle leaf dies are from My Favorite Things.

Drink glass are from the former There She Goes stamps. Colored with Copic's,

Sentiment - Paper Smooches.

Our weather lately has been hot as the jungle, but today we get a breather! Then back up in the high 90's for the rest of the week. Summer came very slow to the Pacific Northwest this year, but it here now! Whew!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 

Waddle I do without you?

Hi everyone! Here is a mixture of two challenges. Less is more is doing a "family" theme and the sketch comes from The Friday Mashup!

One of the sister ducks is leaving the pond, hence the sentiment. Giggle! Anyway, the stamps are from the former There She Goes. I stamped everything in versafine and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then colored with Copic's.

Kept this very clean and simple with a lot of white space. TFM wanted us to use a bit of grunge behind the main panel (which I turned) but thought it would be more fun to create the scene instead.

I did use foam tape to pop up the girls so that they stood out a bit more.  

Off to do some Holiday baking! Thanks for stopping by!










Also entering this into the ATCAS!

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! I was inspired over at the Tag you're it! blog to make this card.

The sweet pea stamp is from the former There She Goes. I stamped it in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored the two sets with Copic's in R81 and R85. 

I fussy cut the three bigger petals out and then attached them using tiny pieces of foam tape to pop them up. Love the dimension it gives.

Tag die is from Quickutz (Lifestyle crafts). I ended up layering the tag with both pink and black cardstock to make it stand out a bit from the big argyle designer paper.

I ran the pink cardstock through a new embossing folder I just picked up from cricut for the cuttlebug called gingham.

Finally, I took a section of white satin ribbon and colored it with the R81 Copic marker, then tied on some black scrappers floss. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

Toadally unexpected

Hi everyone! The theme over at Less is More this week is "little creatures" and here is what I came up with!

The frog stamp is a very old one from the former Angel Company.

I stamped it in colorbox Gum Drop Green from MFT. Used the round stitched die from Lil' Inkers to cut it out and then backed it with a layer of green from Bazzill.

The cattail is also in the pond life set from TAC and I used markers and the huff method to stamp one in the corner and on the inside.

The sentiment is from There She Goes, which is also no longer in business.

Kept this clean and simple since it's going to a male co-worker.
