Get well soon

Hello. I finally got my new Paperartsy set designed by Alison Bomber and was playing around with it and a new stencil from Studio Light and came up with this.

I used walnut distress ink with the stencil, then stamped the tallest grass stamp over it.  Get well sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

I'm entering this into the following challenges.

Simply Clean & Simple - nature

CAS on Friday - get well

Merry Christmas - SSC391

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  The sketch is a square card this go around.

The background was created using a lot of different mediums onto a master board.  It includes gesso, paint and paperatsy infusions, stamps, stencils etc.  I used the blanket-stitched dies from Pink Fresh Studio to cut the squares out. 

The snowflakes dies from My Favorite Things and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  

Here is the sketch.

Wishing you a beautiful day

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges today with this card. 

The bicycle dies are from Brass and Bliss. The cloud stencil is from A colorful life designs and the trees, bushes and hill stencil is from Simon Says Stamp.  I also used their inks to blend through the stencils.

I sent this off to a Co-workers wife who is a SU demonstrator, as a thank you. She recently made up a bunch of card kits that were handed out to us during our last meeting.  Such a sweet gesture and much appreciated.

Festive Friday

Happy Birthday

Hi there. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The confetti in the background is done using Simon says stamp ink and the confetti stencil from Waffle flower stamps. The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms.  I also used some thin black washi tape to create the separation on the card. 

I created the balloons using a large round ballon die (didn't fit on the card) just for the "tie," then a circle die, and piece them together.  Added on the string, bows and a white gel pen highlight and called it good.  All balloon dies are from My Favorite Things.

Believe in yourself

Hello. Playing with the latest sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I used items from Simon Says Stamp A little artsy Card Kit. The sentiment is also from Simon but out of the Artful Pallet kit.

I did add a strip of Tim Holtz black cardstock along the side of the designer paper out of the kit.  I like how it defined the paper. The daisy is colored using SSS ink with a blending brush using the stencil that came in the kit.  Lastly, I added a few paint splatters. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Birthday

Hello all. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.

I started out with a large piece of watercolor paper and distress spray inks in stormy sky and antique linen.  I used a brayer to even out and spread the colors.  The dots are done using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop and embossing paste.  Then I stenciled on jumbled numbers using stormy sky distress ink.

The script words is a stamp from Darkroom Door, which I stamped in hickory smoke archival ink.  Added white and black splatters all over too.  Once everything was dry, I cut out the rectangles using a deckled die.  Added stormy sky distress ink to the edges with a dauber and popped them up using foam tape on the card base.  The birthday sentiment and die are from Waffle Flower. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Skating snowman

Hello. Sharing this card for the winter challenge over at Just Us Girls and Simply Clean & Simple. 

The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I colored him using Copic markers.  The snow is texture paste through a stencil with rock candy glitter dusted over it.
