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.

Masculine birthday card

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today. I already had this bird from Whimsy stamps colored and sitting on my desk. I thought it would work great for the sketch below.

Linen cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink (I sure wish it would come back in stock) and the bird is colored with Copic markers.  The birthday sentiment is from Poppy Stamps, which is my go-to for masculine cards due to the font.

Thanks for stopping by.

Never stop exploring

Hello - playing in the Simon Says Stamp mixed media challenge today.

I used the new Uncharted Mariner with squeezed lemonade for this one. I've had the butterfly stamped up and cut out and in my stash for years and finally put it to use on this one. Stencil from Tim Holtz and I used some of the uncharted mariner glaze on it. Newprint stamp is from fun stampers journey, corners are from Whimsy stamps. The circles are done with a arcrylic round container. Sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz SA. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

With sympathy

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

Leaf die is from Echo Park. I created a color wash background then used the dot leaf cover plate from Honey Bee to add texture. Sentiment is from Whimsy stamps.

 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.
