with love

Hi everyone! I saw the new Viva La Verve sketch and color combo challenge and decided to see if I could make it work.

Here's what the sketch looked like and the color combo. The aqua and brown look pretty amazing together!

Stamps are from Verve and the heart is colored with Copic's. The designer paper is from Tim Holtz and the brown cardstock is from Hot off the press that was in my scrap stash. Spellbinders label one used in place of the squares.
I added a bit of bling on the ribbon and in the middle of the heart using red rhinestones from Kaisercraft.

Love you

Hey everyone! He's a quick clean and simple card for this weeks sketch over at Clean & Simple #274.

I cut out three hearts from a Lifestyle craft heart die. Two red and one white. The heart on the top left is stamped in white craft ink using the distress polka dot stamp from Savvy Stamps. The top right heart is stamped in Wild Cherry ink from MFT using the plaid stamp from the Half & Half set from PTI. The sentiment is from the Beyond Basic Borders also from PTI. I don't have a lot of heart dies, just a few smaller ones, so I decided to use circles as the sketch calls out.

I popped a lot of this up using foam tape to get a bit of dimension. There's a lot of white space on this card, that is why I decided to texture up the hearts!

Also using this for CFC125.Word is Love!

ETA: added this to challenge #29 over at Addicted to CAS

You're amazing

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I had some time today and decided to play around with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch. You might need your sun glasses!

It's a little bright, but I needed something sunny today since we have such grey clouds hanging over us in WA.

Stamps are from Simon Says Stamps. I used fresh ink in limeade and pink lemonade to stamp the flowers and leaves. Threw in a few black stamped flowers to mix it up. Buttons are from American Crafts.

Ribbon is a freebee from Ellen Hutson and it matched the lime green cardstock pretty closely that I went with it. Card is 5x5.

Canvas projects

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you two projects that I've completed using canvas. First up is a simple card.

Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp. The canvas is an Artist Trading Card piece of canvas from Canvas Corp. I used Fresh Ink from Impress Rubber Stamps in Pink lemonade and Limeade to stamp the flower. Versafine black in used to stamp the center of the flower, dragonfly and sentiment.

Designer paper is from DCWV. Green cardstock is from Bazzill and that gorgeous green satin ribbon is from Ribbons and Bows Oh My. 

Next up is a different type of canvas, but one that turned out pretty cool!

The canvas is sticky backed and comes from Claudine Hellmuth (Ranger) and is in a set of 5 12x12 sheets. It's kind of a soft ivory color, not as white as it looks in this photo. I took one and trimmed it down to 8 1/2 x 11 and then I created the established sign using Photoshop Elements 9.0, then just ran it through the printer.

The swirls at the bottom were hand stamped using the Fancy Flourishes stamp set from Papertrey, Ink.

I spray painted an old wooden frame black and inserted the canvas and TADA! Love how it came out!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year!

Enjoy the Holidays

Happy Holidays! Here is one more Christmas card I put together for the #200 Sweet Sunday sketch challenge.

This is a digi from Tiddly Inks and colored with Copic's. The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. Instead of an oval, I changed up the shape in the sketch to work with the digi image. Snow flake embossing folder used on the white panel and I also popped it up using foam tape. I decided to use a layer of gray behind the digi and I'm happy with the way it looks.

Copic's used:
Hair - YR21, YR24 & E37
Skin - E11, E21, E00, E000, R30
Clothes - R59, R29, R24, R05, C3, C1, C00

I hope that you have a fabulous Holiday with family and friends!

Paw print

Hi everyone! Here's my take on this week CAS(E) this sketch! Here's the sketch and what I did with it.

Yes, I turned it.

Paw print is die cut from black cardstock using the die from Paper Smooches. I cut out two sets and used foam tape between them to give it some dimension! The sentiment is from Paper Smooches, as well. The little red heart is a stamp from PTI that I decided to add at the last minute for a spot of color. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate

Hi everyone! Here's my take on this past Mojo Monday's sketch. I also paired it up with this weeks CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

The celebrate stamp is a $1 stamp from Studio G and colored with Copics.

Designer paper is from DCWV and I used the big dots embossing folder on the blue cardstock. Pennant die is from Verve, which I used on the lime green cardstock and then layered it with blue. Added some green rhinestones for some bling as we head into the new year!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! Only 5 more days until Christmas - I'm so not ready! UGH!
