Jolly wishes - TSOT700

Hello and welcome back to another Christmas in July sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

The background snowflake stamp is from Rubbernecker stamps. I stamped it in white and then heat embossed it in fine white detail embossing powder.  I drew lines with a white gel pen per the sketch.

The snowflake is a die from Trinity Stamps, and the wonderful Santa and sentiment is from Avery Elle.  He is colored with Copic Markers. 

Here is the link to play with our sketch challenge.

Joy - SSC372

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  We have a color challenge this time around.  I decided to go mainly with the colors and create a Christmas card. 

The big joy is a die from Penny Black.  I cut this three times and stacked it up for some dimension.  The berry branch is also a die from PB, and the rest are misc dies from different companies.  

Happiest of Birthdays - SSC357

Hello.  Time for another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. The challenge is a color or inspiration photo using the prompt below.  

I decided to go with the grapes and created a wine label using Bing A.I. I printed it out on 80lb cardstock and used a label die from PTI to cut it out. 

The grape leaf dies are from Memory Box.  I highlighted them with inks and a white gel pen. The happiest of birthdays sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The inside of the card is below and the sentiment and wine bottle are from Hero Arts.

Warmest holiday wishes

Hello. Sharing a traditional Christmas card today for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

Stamps are from Stampin Up! I used cream cardstock from PTI for a change instead of the normal white.  I stamped the mittens in versafine and heat embossed in clear embossing powder so that I could color with Copic's. I used a white gel pen to highlight the stripes on the mittens and added a tiny white pearl to the center of the snowflakes.

Added the black pearls for additional interest that matched the pattern in the mittens.

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.

Angel Ornament

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 chose to do the middle column across.  The angle is paper pieced using patterend paper.  I used round coasters to create my ornament. I cut the middle out, then heat embossed it several times using silver embossing powder.  Added some clear plastic to the back of it to so that I could create a shaker out of this. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the angel. White gel pen used to highlight the stripes on her robe. The wings are colored with Copic's then highlighted with a sparkle pen. It's hard to see in the photo, but IRL, it looks cool.

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

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 chose to do wildlife, texture and use a stencil. The hills and the falling snow are stencils. I used white modeling paste for the snow. Distress oxide inks used to create the sky and hills. Stenciles are from Honey Bee.  Added a white frame around the scene and it's popped up using foam for added depth to the scene. I cut a few pine tress out and added them in different dimension to carry on the forrest theme. Of course, this was after I had done the snow, so I used a white gel pen. The trio of deer can be found here over at Repeat Impressions.

Designers Choic Challenge - things beginning with a B

Hello! Today is our Designers Choice Challenge over at The House That Stamps Built, and Heather's choice is: Things beginning with a B.

I chose to stencil some Balloons. Then I had to embellish them so that they were a bit different than normal. Distress oxide inks used. I used a Copic multi liner to draw the strings using a ruler. This gave it a dotted line look and I went with it because it was different.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment horizontally to fit with the card.

Hi everyone,
I liked this sketch so much that I had to do a Christmas version of it.

I found these sweet critters in my "to color" digi stamp files. I have NO idea who designed it. I searched high and low through my computer files and cannot find it.

Colored with Copic's. Designer paper is an old sheet from K&Company that I've had in my Christmas stash forever.  I did use a white gel pen to highlight the fuss on the scarf. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

From the two of us

Hello - I got a little coloring in today. This is a new stamp from Stamping Bella that I think is just darling. Put it to good use with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. However, I changed up the direction to fit the image.

Colored with Copic's. Red and navy cardstock from Papetrey, Ink. The blue gingham is from an old 8 x 8 paper pack from Making Memories.

I highlighted the markings on his scarf with a white gel pen.

Adding this to Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge too!
