Thank you - SSC383

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

The big bee stamp is from Park Lane. I stamped it in Versafine, heat embossed it and colored it with Copics.  Used a glitter brush pen from Scrapbook.com to add some sparkle to its wings. 

Ink blended the honeycomb with Simon say stamps pawsitively saturated ink in yellows through a stencil.  The sentiment is from Jillian Vance Designs.

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

I started by blending watercolors down the left side of my watercolor paper in fall colors.  Then I stamped the branch from Memory Box using ground espresso archival ink from both ends.  The sentiment is from Parklane.  It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card base is a dark brown that is cut to a mini slimline card. 

Here is the link to join in on the challenge.

 Hi again. Here is another card that I created for the color challenge over at The Flower Challenge.  

I used the same Distress Ink colors in Peacock Feather and Ripe Persimmon.  The flower dies are from Casual Fridays, and the sentiment is from Parklane stamps.  I added some white self-adhesive pearls to the centers of the flowers for added interest.  

Hope you'll join us for this challenge.  The Flower Challenge

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with the following Thinking of You card.

I started off using the sketch from CAS on Fridays.  The tag dies are from PTI and MFT.  The tulip stencil is from Echo Park and I used Simon Says Stamp inks and a mini blending brush to create the panel. The sentiment is from Park Lane which I stamped in black ink then heat embossed in clear. 

Below are the challenges I'm entering this into:

CAS on Friday - sketch

Tic-tac-toe challenge - I used the middle going across

Just add ink - Thinking of you and embossing (heat)

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use.

The flower dies and the polka dot stamps are from Papertrey, Ink.  The sentiment is from Parklane. I used textured teal paper from a very old Hot off the Press paper pack to stamp the sentiment.  The flower centers are self-adhesive matt sprinkles from Doodlebug Designs.

Get it in gear

Hello. Playing around and created a steampunk hat out of the Colorado Craft Company's Frosty's hat stamp set.

I stamped the hat with versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear. Did a quick layer of black copic marker to get a base on to the hat. Came back with some black soot distress ink and added that with a blending brush. Highlighted areas with Hero arts unicorn white ink.  The band is Peacock feathers oxide ink - I used a paint brush to apply and then came back with the white pigment ink to highlight. 

The gear border dies are cut out of metallic paper in silver and holographic, then I used black alcohol ink to darken them. Once dry I sanded them down with a sanding block. Then added some brass/gold metallic rub-ons to grunge them up at bit more. Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. Black clair ink is heat embossed over gold cardstock (cheap stuff from Joann's Parklane line) and the heat of my wagner heat tool turned it a cool color. 

Tim Holtz 3D gear embossing folder used in the background. Distress inks in antique linen and vintage photo used to grunge it up. 

This turned out to be a really fun card to make - by the way it's a 5 x 7 card due to the size of the hat.
