Let it snow

Hello....The current sketch over at The Paper Players drew my attention today and here is what I did with it.

I started off with a card base of blue denim from Gina K Designs.  The dot snowflake die is from Waffle flower Designs. I used a border die on the left-hand side to create a bit more interest.  

The sentiment is an old one from Memory Box stamps, and the snowflake die is from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I did stack the snowflakes three times to get more dimension, with the top layer being silver glitter paper. The sentiment is also heat embossed using Ranger silver tinsel embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping in.

It's your day, Celebrate!

Hello.  I found some time today to play in this week's Freshly Made Sketch.  

I used the Beyond Measure pink fresh studio stamp, stencil and die to make this. I did cut it down to fit the sketch. The sentiment is from Waffle flower sweet birthday sentiment stamps. Added some self-adhesive black pearls from Hero Arts to the center of the flowers and smaller ones around the flower spray.  The blanket stitch cover die is also from Pink fresh studio, but the circle one is from Craft addiction UK.

Thanks for stopping by.

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

First of all, the textured embossing folder is from Honey Bee stamps. The flowers are a stencil from Taylored Expressions, I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks throughout.  I cut one of the stencil panels apart to fit the back layer in the back to make everything fit.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower stamps.

Happy Birthday

Hi there. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The confetti in the background is done using Simon says stamp ink and the confetti stencil from Waffle flower stamps. The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms.  I also used some thin black washi tape to create the separation on the card. 

I created the balloons using a large round ballon die (didn't fit on the card) just for the "tie," then a circle die, and piece them together.  Added on the string, bows and a white gel pen highlight and called it good.  All balloon dies are from My Favorite Things.

Happy Birthday

Hello all. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.

I started out with a large piece of watercolor paper and distress spray inks in stormy sky and antique linen.  I used a brayer to even out and spread the colors.  The dots are done using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop and embossing paste.  Then I stenciled on jumbled numbers using stormy sky distress ink.

The script words is a stamp from Darkroom Door, which I stamped in hickory smoke archival ink.  Added white and black splatters all over too.  Once everything was dry, I cut out the rectangles using a deckled die.  Added stormy sky distress ink to the edges with a dauber and popped them up using foam tape on the card base.  The birthday sentiment and die are from Waffle Flower. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Hi all! It's time for another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. This one has a bit of a different spin to it.  We are looking for you to doodle anywhere on your project!!!

I actually doodled the flowers using a Zig Millennium pen.  I started with cutting out the postage stamp die from Gina K Designs and used it as a stencil to blend a light blue background using Oxide ink.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower.

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.

So sorry

Hi everyone, I'm playing in the TGIF #503 sketch challenge today. I decided to do a non-holiday card. 

The fern stamp is from Waffle Flower. I stamped it in artichoke ink from Simon Says Stamp. I liked the color so much that I decided to ink blend the back rectangles and the back layering piece in the same color. 

The sentiment is from Gina K and the stitched cover die is from My Favorite Things.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Time to relax

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing a card I created for my chiropractor and his wife for their retirement. 

The stamps are from Hero Arts and stamped in Versafine ink. I ink-blended the background with Tumbled glass distress oxide ink and latte ink from Simon Says Stamp. The clouds are done using the cloud stencil from A Color Life.  To get the shadows under the swing and palm trees, I used a detail blending brush from Waffleflower and a darker shade of brown ink. Really happy with how the shadows turned out. Used the dot stitched die from Jillian Vance designs to cut the scene out and matted it with black cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping by!
