With sympathy - TSOT702

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

The designer paper is a digital kit from Pink Monarch Prints. I just got a Canon G6020 printer that has the refillable ink cartridges and two ways of putting paper through the printer. It works on all types of paper (even cardstock) and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to buy it!  Highly recommend.

Leaf die is an old one from Memory Box.

Here is the link to play with the above sketch - hope to see you over there.

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.

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

I used a stencil as the main focus for this card.  Eucalyptus and juniper ink from Simon Says Stamp was ink blended through the stencil.  The sentiment is from My favorite Things.  

The circle charms are made using jump rings, glossy accents and designer paper. So much fun to make and use as dimensional interest on cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello and welcome back to another card sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is an awesome way to use up some designer paper scraps.

Winter wishes - TSOT687

Hello. There is a new sketch up over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday and it's a fun one!

I obviously flipped it to take advantage of more space to work with on this sketch.  The houses, church and tree dies are from Gina K Designs.  The mountain dies are very old and I cannot remember where they are from, if I had to guess, it would be MFT. 

Ink blended the sky and mountains using Distress inks.  I did put some gold sparkly vellum behind the buildings to represent lights. 

Hope you play along with us by linking up here!

Take care.
