Happy Birthday to you - SSC394

Hi and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Today we have a new sketch for you to use.

The flower stamp is from Sizzix and colored with watercolors.  The designer paper and the sentiment are from Memory Box. 

Hope you join in the challenge.  Thanks for stopping by.

Faux watercolor flower

Hello. I just received the new Willow Wolfe stamps from Sizzix and had to play right away.

I used distress inks in Victorian velvet, aged mahogany, and scattered straw to create the flower. I added the lighter ink first, spritzed with water, stamped, repeat with all other colors.  The leaf and stem stamp was done using tombow markers and a bit of water spritzed on it.

After this dried, I went back with the outline stamp and stamped it with Versafine ink.  Love the results.

Adding this to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - beautiful blooms

The Paper Players - clean and simple florals

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, and welcome back to a new sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

Ok - this one needs a bit of explaining.  The main panel of this card is made using a napkin and some plastic wrap.  You know the technique of ironing the napkins onto a piece of cardstock by melting plastic wrap between the two with an iron.  Yep, this is that technique.  I told you I'd made a few! ;-)

The label die is from Pretty Pink Posh, and the sentiment is from Sizzix stamps.  I have so many dragonfly dies in my stash that I cannot remember who makes them anymore.
