Fly away

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today using this grungy card.

The designer paper is from Memory-place called visionaries. I cut it to fit the sketch and distressed it and inked the edges.  Added it to a top folding cream card base and layer, that I also distressed.  I have an old making memories distress tool that got a good work out on this card.  The ink I used to distress everything in is walnut stain. 

The stamps in the background match the designer paper somewhat.  The type stamp is from Papertrey, Ink and I used antique linen to stamp it in.  The dots are from Tim Holtz and stamped in Cocoa ink from Simon Says Stamp.  Lastly, the fly away sentiment is from Woodware.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care!

Hello. Playing in the Dragonfly Dreams tag challenge today with this card.

The tag is from Simon Says Stamp and distressed with walnut stain distress ink.  The background is from a paper towel that I used to catch the "drips" from my Keurig coffee maker.  I thought it would make a good background so I used some liquitex matte medium to adhere it to a card base.

Rose sticker is from my stash (might be from Arden creative)

Script stamp - MFT stamps

Tim Holtz old tape stickers

Cotton frayed ribbon - Ribbli

Hello. I'm playing in the Tic Tac Toe challenge today with this tag.  It covers the left and rows of the TTT grid.

I stamped the background leaf stamp and heat embossed it in white.  Then used watercolors to bring out some of the leaves.  The thanks sentiment is from Spellbinders.  I used a bit of black twine to wrap around the tag and to tie off the green ribbon at the top. 

Thanks for stopping in. 

Thanks SSC335

Hello everyone!

Wanted to share this watercolored thanks card that I created with distress inks. This was inspired by a video done by Dawn over at WPlus9. 

The pine branch with the pinecone is from Simon Says Stamp. I also used a script background stamp from MFT to add a bit of interest to it. The dot stitched background die is from A Jillian Vance Design.

The thanks die is from the Spellbinders set by Yana called layer script sentiments. I used some cream-colored velum on the shadow. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Never lose your sense of wonder

Stenciled tags

Hello. Sharing a couple of tags that I created a while back when I previously did this technique for a project of the week. Hung on to them and decided it might be fun to rerun this technique again. All you need is a solid stamp, a stencil and ink or paint. 

I used the solid tag stamp and stenciled directly onto it with ink, then stamped and cut it out. Layered them with navy blue cardstock. I also cut out a smaller tag for the sentiment. Navy satin ribbon and twine used for the tops.  The "eyelet" is actually a die that I used on the same navy cardstock.

Have a great day.

Another 2fer on leaves

Hello. At heart, I really love leaves during any season. They can be left alone or paired with a flower and bottom line, they just work.  So, with that in mind, I decided to play again in the Twofer leaves challenge.

Leaf stamps and the thank you sentiment are from Concord & 9th. I used different colored inks from Rubbernecker's Fuse ink line to stamp them in.  Get well sentiment on the first card is from Frantic stamper.  

Ribbon from PTI and dug out some big eyelets from We R memory keepers and used them on the get well card along with some twine. Burlap is from DCWV, green gingham paper is from A Muse Studio.

Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

Let us give thanks

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I went with the colors on the photo to create my card. If you look closely, you can see that I embossed the sentiment and the cornucopia so that they stand out a bit. Colored with Copic's. I added a few spots on the red apple using a white gel pen. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought this was a great way to celebrate and give thanks.

Adventure

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the Tic-Tac-Toe board below.

I went with blue, dimension and twine. 

I put the compass in my Misti and used navy ink which I stamped a couple of times in order to get a good amount of ink onto the paper.  Cut it out with a circle die and used foam tape to attach it to the navy circle. Did the same with the sentiment. Added the sting (tied a square knot for added interest) onto the base and finished off with a few dew drops. The marbled paper is from Joann's Ms. Sparkle & Co.  The card base is actually a deep navy blue.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Hello

Hello.

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the photo below as inspiration.

I got out my new Faber Castel polychromos to color this little guy up. Also dusted off my deckled rectangle dies from Spellbinder to cut him out. Used some vintage photo distress ink with a sponge dauber to darken the edges. Did the same on the designer paper in the background. Added some twine to this for some decoration in the back. Card base is a dark chocolate brown.

A Moosage from me

Hello!

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following Tic-Tac-Toe board to create with.

I  chose to use the top row across. Moose is colored with Copic's. The burlap paper is from DCWV and cut using the tag die from a Hero Arts monthly club die. Kept this neutral and used colors found in nature to stay within the guidelines of the TTT grid. Added the twine onto the ribbon in a cute little bow.  

So, what are you waiting for?!

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

Hello. 

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following TTT board.

I used the second row in the middle to create my card. Button, faux stitching and color washed the tag.

I saturated some water color paper with a mister bottle and then dropped a few splats of Hero Arts liquid water color onto it and let it move with the water. I let it dry overnight and then cut out the stitched tag. Heat embossed the sentiment, added the button and ribbon and glued it onto the navy blue layer that I dry embossed.  Lastly, added some dew drops for interest.  

So, what are you waiting for?!
