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

The postage stamp stamps are from Technique Tuesday.  I used Simon Says Stamp ink to stamp them in and I found postage stamp dies that fit them in my stash.  I have no idea who made them, but thinking it was PTI back in the day. 

Kept this clean and simple too.  Thanks for stopping by.

Let it snow

Hello....The current sketch over at The Paper Players drew my attention today and here is what I did with it.

I started off with a card base of blue denim from Gina K Designs.  The dot snowflake die is from Waffle flower Designs. I used a border die on the left-hand side to create a bit more interest.  

The sentiment is an old one from Memory Box stamps, and the snowflake die is from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I did stack the snowflakes three times to get more dimension, with the top layer being silver glitter paper. The sentiment is also heat embossed using Ranger silver tinsel embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping in.

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I am the hostess this time around and came up with the following sketch.

The stamp is from Gummiapan and is colored with watercolor paints.  I did darken the stamens with a black gel pen so they stood out a bit more.  Sentiment is a press plate from Altenew.

Hope you join us.  Link up here.

From all of us

Hello. I'm playing in several challenge today but started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketch with this card.

The spring branch/leaf stamp is an old red rubber stamp from Memory Box circa 1990's.  I used Tombow markers to color it and the huff method to reactivate the ink for stamping.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up! The outline border die and fishtail pierced dies are from MFT Stamps.

This is one of my favorite stamps, because it can be used for 3 of the seasons and any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween - TSOT#706

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is going to be fun to use for the Halloween card making season.

The left and right panels are created using a stencil and black embossing paste from Ranger and Tim Holtz.  The main panel is ink blended using distress inks and then stenciled too.  Bat is a die from Recollections that was cut out and stamped on.  I added the cute spiders (also a die) to go with the webs.

Thinking of you

Hello. I decided to play in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to blend the background with one of the rectangle stencils from Trinity Stamps. The sentiment is from MFT Stamps, and the daisy die is from Simon Says Stamp. To make it stand out a bit more, I added a thin outline frame using a die from Honey Bee Stamps.
