You are truly amazing

Hey there - Playing in the Fall/Winter coffee lovers blog hop today.

Plaid paper is from The Paper Studio that I purchased over the Christmas holidays last year.  Mugs are a die. Colored the coffee part of the mug with Copic's and inserted red glitter paper behind the heart cut out. Sentiment is from Frantic stamper, Inc. 

More coffee related cards coming soon..... 

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #460 today. I created the snowflake banner background last year and put it to use today. I cut out a few of the snowflakes (Marie, from SSS) and laid them out onto a piece of navy cardstock - then spritzed some distress oxide ink over them. It looks like I used tumbled glass on this one. 

Used a snowflake embossing folder on the white panel to carry the snowflake theme on. The sentiment is computer generated and I added the white snowflake behind the sentiment just to be different. Card base is dark indigo.

Thanks for stopping by.

You are amazing

Hello. Playing in the November CAS Mix up challenge today. It's off the edge and watercoloring. 

Branch stamp is from Memory Box. I really love this stamp as it's so delicate and can be used for three of the four seasons. I colored the leaves and the branch using Tombow markers and then spritzed it with water from my Tim Holtz distress sprayer. Did this multiple times down the side of the cardstock so that it appears "off the edge." Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and the dark brown cardstock is from MFT stamps. 

Also adding this into the color inspiration challenge over at Sunday Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is a designer choice challenge hosted by Heather and she wants to see Pumpkins.

I stamped and masked off three pumpkins and then colored with Copic's.  Used a leaf embossing folder for the background (hint, you'll see it used again on Monday for my project of the week).

Merry Christmas tag

Hello. Decided to play in the Christmas Tag Monday Simon Says Stamp challenge. I had already stamped the new Holiday floral stamp onto water color paper and heat embossed it with white detail embossing powder. However, the embossing powder flubbed up a bit in a section. So, I decided to cut it down into a tag to play in the challenge.

You can see in the top left hand corner the smudge of embossing powder on the leaf of the poinsettia. I used Daniel Smith water colors on this - I had purchased a swatch of basic colors at my LSS. That is now in the trash, as I spilled water all over it and all the colors bled into one another. Bummer! I finished off the blue by using a Tombow marker. 

I splatted this with white gouache paint that has been watered down and then spritzed it with shimmer spritz. In real life it sparkles and is really pretty.  Seam binding is colored with Copic's for the bow at the top of the tag.  Tag die is from MFT Stamps.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

Thanks

Hello. Playing in the Less is More challenge of more than one type of foliage today.

I used a alcohol ink background that I created eons ago and cut it up using three of the Tim Holtz sizzix skeleton leaves dies.  I had used a bit of alloy in statue and decided to cover the thanks die in gold to sort of match. Burlap is from a paper pad from die cuts with a view.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in the CAS(e) this sketch challenge today. I turned the sketch so that the die cut sentiment would fit.

I used watercolor paper and oxide inks to create the colorful background. I used a grid background stamp from MFT and added on top using white unicorn pigment ink from Hero Arts.  Splashed and splattered some additional oxide ink around to finish it off.  Added the sentiment which is die cut several times and stacked up. Added some sparkle with a wink of stella pen.

Have a great weekend!
