Hello chickadee

I used the bird 211-P, Chickadee at Rest, but left off the pine and pine cones by coloring the stamp with markers and huffing on it. I recycled some coragated cardboard for the background. Added the sentiment tag using a round pin with some jute string. Cardbase is a dark brown.

just waving hello

Hi there. Playing in the CASe this sketch challenge today.

Paint stripe stamp is from Paper Smooches called positive strokes 2. The boy and girl and the sentiment are from Waffle Flower.  I used pigment ink from Fresh Ink to stamp the paint stripes in.

Thought this was a fun card in these trying times, however, they are not practicing the 6 foot rule, but cute never the less.

Stay safe out there and thanks for stopping by.

It's the little things

Hello. I hope this finds you all safe and doing well. Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

Stamp and die are from Greenhouse society from Technique Tuesday called Fresh Peony.

I cut out a square and turned it so that I could stencil some blue distress oxide ink onto the card panel. Then I cut out a frame to stick behind the flower spray.

Sentiment is from Memory Box stamps.

Take care and thanks for stopping by.

Crocus - Thinking of you

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 went with dew drops, pastel colors and dimension.

Crocus are colored with Copic markers. I used a scalloped border die to cut them out and then popped them up on the pastel yellow cardstock using foam tape. Sentiment is also popped up. Sadly, my crocus are all done blooming now. They were so pretty, but never last long enough.

Thinking of you

Hello all - Playing in the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps today.

I was inspired by the wonderful designer paper from the Hello Beautiful card pack from Piatek Trzynastego.

The center cherry blossom stamps are from Penny Black and the sentiment is from WPlus9. I used the circle cut out die from PTI and then framed it in the green cardstock I used to layer the dp. I just stuck two circle dies together and taped them together to get the ring.  Colored the cherry blossoms with Copic's. I used Neenah Solar White cardstock and made this a top folding card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're staying sane and safe in the world.

Gnomes - Happy Birthday from all of us

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

I turned the sketch on it's side and added the gnomes. These darling guys are a die from Simon Says Stamp. I used a piece of plaid designer paper from Lawn Fawn to cut out their shirts, then matched up the hats accordingly. Beards and noses are colored with Copic's. I also used a circle die as a stencil to sponge on the matching colored background. Small pompom's added onto the hats.

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge.

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week is our designer choice challenge and it's Heather's turn. She wanted us to use something "wet" (technique, medium or image). Here is what I did.

I chose to create a watercolor background using distress oxide inks. I really like how the three colors blended together so well. Blue print sketch, tumbled glass and cracked pistachio. I just smooched them down on my glass mat and spritzed with water, then drug my watercolor paper through it.  I added more drops using water and a paint brush and splattering them on. After drying, I stamped the dragonfly in versafine and heat embossed it. The happy birthday die is from SSS and cut from shiny black cardstock. Threw in three dew drops and then added fun foam to the back before matting it with black.
