Happy Anniversary

Hello. I had a few minutes to put a card together for the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge yesterday.  

The daisy die is made by Memory Box for Simon Says Stamp. I cut it three times, stacked it up for dimension and glued it down over the cut-out bricks.  The sentiment is from MFT stamps and stamped in hickory smoke archival ink. I used a dark gray as the cardbase on this to help make the flowers stand out a bit more. 

Thanks for stopping by.

You are capable

Hello. I'm participating in a mixed-media altered index card challenge today. This is week 2 of the 2025 altered index challenge, and the prompt calls for butterflies. However, my take on the challenge is singular. 

The butterfly die and distress diamond stencil are from Memory Box. The brick stamp in the background comes from the Sam Poole collection at Creative Expressions. After adding a layer of gesso, I used antique linen and speckled egg distress colors on the background of the index card. The final pop of color comes from a spritz of speckled egg spray that I let run down the surface.  

The finishing touches are black splatters and a sentiment sticker from small talk idea-ology stickers from Tim Holtz.  

Thanks for stopping by.
