A note of encouragement

Hi there. I'm playing in the CAS on Fridays challenge of flowers today.

So many possibilities with this die set. Thanks for stopping by.

A note to say hello

Hello! Welcome to another challenge over at The Flower Challenge blog. We are looking for you to add a Heart to your project, along with the required flower image.

Here is the card I created.

The tulip stamp is an old wood block stamp from Stamps by Judith. I stamped it on watercolor paper twice using Tombow markers to color it and spritzed it with water.  I've always thought the right-hand flower looked like a heart.  But just to be on the safe side, I embossed a small heart on the lower right-hand corner.  The Sentiment is from Wplus9 and the stitched dot die is from Jillian Vance Designs. 

Here is the cue card for this month’s challenge.

Thanks

Hello. Playing in the Paper Dragonfly challenge #21 - Fall Splendor and the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge #225. Went with the bottom row. 

Dies are from Lawn Fawn. I cut them out, added Versamark to them, and then dusted each one with a bit of perfect pearls. The sentiment die and stamp is from Wplus9.  Rustic cream cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.  In real life those little leaves sure do shine nicely.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of circle today.

Tree stamp is from Just for fun stamps. The sentiment is from WPlus9. I initially used a circle stencil to create the scene for a one layer card. However, I didn't like the sentiment I had stamped and it wasn't centered on the card base. I know, a little OCD of me but I just didn't like it. LOL. Saved the circle by cutting it out using two circle nesting dies from Spellbinders.

What do you think? Thanks for stopping by.

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of Leaf today.

The small leaf image is from The Stampin Place. I used Rubbernecker fuse inks to blend colors with a finger dauber onto it before stamping it. Sentiment is from WPlus9. Card base is a deep green.

ETA: also entering this into the AAA cards #198 challenge.

Happy Birthday PP501

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today.

Flower stamp is from W Plus 9 called watercolored anemones. Birthday greeting is from Simon Says Stamp. I used memento pink and Tombow green makers on the flower bunch and then spritzed with water and stamped it onto water color paper. The birthday sentiment is stamped in versafine ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Pink and green cardstock is from my scrap stash. Self adhesive pearls are from Queen and Co.

Adding this into the SSS Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Hello all - Playing in the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps today.

I was inspired by the wonderful designer paper from the Hello Beautiful card pack from Piatek Trzynastego.

The center cherry blossom stamps are from Penny Black and the sentiment is from WPlus9. I used the circle cut out die from PTI and then framed it in the green cardstock I used to layer the dp. I just stuck two circle dies together and taped them together to get the ring.  Colored the cherry blossoms with Copic's. I used Neenah Solar White cardstock and made this a top folding card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're staying sane and safe in the world.

Thanks for always being there

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today.

I used quite a few different stamps on this one. Started with the wood plank stamps from WPlus9. I stamped them in provincial gray from Fresh Ink. Concord & 9th beautiful branches used on the center panel. Thanks die and sentiment are from Simon Says Stamp.

I used a medium gray for the base of the card and to cut out the "thanks." I used fun foam to pop up the wood plank panel and I also used a strip of it on the small sentiment panel.

Also adding this into the SSS Wednesday challenge.

Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!

 

Coffee, that is all.

Hello. Here is my second card for the Spring/Summer coffee lovers blog hop.

Kept this one clean and simple. Coffee cup stamps are from Sugar Pea, and the coffee word die as well. The sentiment and little hearts are from Wplus9. Colored with Copic's, fussy cut, and popped up with foam tape. The white stitched panel is also popped up with fun foam.

Have a great day!

Hello. Yes, two posts from me today. DH had to work and I got to play in the craft room! Here's a one layer card to go with the challenge over at Less is More.

Stamps are from Wplus9. Colored with Copic's. I stamped it in Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things, which is supposed to be Copic's friendly. However, it did smudge a bit with the pink flower on the left. Next time, I'll heat set it a bit before coloring. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey there! Playing in The Paper Players challenge of blooms today.

Rhodie stamp is from Technique Tuesday's Greenhouse Society. I colored it based upon the picture below which is from my garden. Copic markers used to color it. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the bloom out, then popped it up off of the square using foam dimensional adhesive.











Background stamp is from Hero Arts called lattice. The sentiment is from Wplus9. I cut the dragonfly from a thick foil and then colored it with black alcohol ink. I really like how I could manipulate the wings using it.

Thanks for stopping in!

Sketch challenge #271

Hello. It's sketch time over at CAS Colors & Sketches and here is your inspiration.

As you can see, I turned the sketch on it's side.

This is actually an all in one die from Simon Says Stamp, the squares are all lined up in a neat little row. I used it to show case this flower stamp from Impress Rubber Stamps.

I used the new Versafine Clair ink in Glamorous (absolutely love this new pigment ink) and then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder.

Sentiment is from WPlus9. Used the R29 Copic marker to color the skinny white satin ribbon and then tied a tiny bow using the bow easy.

Hope this inspires you to play along.
