The sky is the limit

Hey there. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch this week.


Stamps are a combination of PTI and Fiskars. The big balloon is from Fiskars, stamped and colored with Copic's then cut out using the Scan N Cut.  Sentiment and the clouds on the blue panel are PTI.

Sky sponged with Summer Sky Memento ink using the Picasso metal stencil from Dreamweaver. Added some die cut clouds under the blue panel for added interest.

That it for now - thank for stopping in.

Make a wish

Hello. Playing in another challenge today. This one is for the kraft and white challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays.

Stamps are from Wildflower stamps, which is no longer in business. Stamped in white pigment ink and then heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.

Sentiment panel is popped up using foam squares and I added a bit of white grosgrain ribbon to it for some detail.


Thanks for stopping by.


Just for you

Hello - this is a card that took way too longer than it should have! Specifically worked this one for the CAS Colours and Sketches Double challenge. Used the sketch and the colors below.



Stamps are from Stampendous. The peony had to be done twice, because when I was outlining it with a black marker to cover the white edges,  I marked it up.  Colored with Copic makers.

I had trouble with the lattice embossed blue panel not wanting to adhere to the card base. Then I popped up the stitched square with fun foam and it didn't want to stay square. It's one of the cards, that you cuss at along the way and finally say "whew" when done!

OK, now to clean up! Thanks for stopping by.

Congrats

Hello. Playing in the Less is More challenge of using royal blue and lime green. Which are Seattle Seahawk colors and coincidentally, worked with a card I just made for a co-worker.


She is a huge Seahawks fan so I made this to go with those colors and to say congrats for completing a training class. Ranger distress oxide inks used. Congrats die is a Sizzix thinlits die by Tim Holtz.  Glued on some teeny tiny stars and called it good.

Thanks

Hello. Playing with this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.



Altenew's Peony Bouquet used here. I t stamped the largest outline flower in Versamark and then heat embossed using fine white embossing powder onto watercolor paper.  Watercolored with Kuretake zig pens and the fussy cut out. Same with the leaves.

Thanks is a die cut, used black metallic paper so that it has a bit of shine. Embossed the panel in back with a quadrefoil embossing folder for some added dimension.

ETA: adding this into the 30 Day Coloring Challenge at The Daily Marker and Anything goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

That's it for now. Thanks for looking.
