Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge today.


The sentiment stamps are from Impress cards and crafts. I stamped them in versamark and heat embossed them in silver.  The snowflakes are from Echo Park and cut out of Tim Holtz Idea-ology silver sparkle cardstock. The embossing folder is an oldie but goodie from Provo Craft/Cuttlebug.  I accidently used the debossed side and then decided it looked pretty darn good behind the snowflake cuts outs, and left it. 

Thanks for stopping by.



Happy Birthday - TFC#93

Congrats TSOT#650

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use.



The flower dies and the polka dot stamps are from Papertrey, Ink.  The sentiment is from Parklane. I used textured teal paper from a very old Hot off the Press paper pack to stamp the sentiment.  The flower centers are self-adhesive matt sprinkles from Doodlebug Designs.

Sending best wishes

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls stencil challenge today.


I created my own stencil using the postage die from Penny Black. Using a blending brush and tumbled glass distress oxide inks created a soft glow to frame up the flowers. Those are from studio light, the flower centers, leaves, and stems were colored with copics.  The sentiment is from The Ton and is popped up using foam tape.

The yellow gingham ribbon was unearthed from my ribbon stash and tied with the bow easy.

Also adding this into the tic-tac-toe challenge #250. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday cheer - SSC338

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  We have a new sketch and here is what I made using it. This is a fun one with so many possibilities.

 


I just got this new daisy set from Visible Image and put it to use on this sketch. I fussy cut the daisy out and popped it onto a piece of cardstock that matched the center of the flower. I did continue the splatters that are a part of the daisy stamp on the panel.  The Sentiment is from Poppy stamps.

Congratulations - TSOT#649

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try A Sketch On Tuesdays.


 

As you can see I turned the sketch on its side. The key dies are from Dress my kraft. I added a bit of refined copper lunar paste to them to make them look old and distressed.  The dictionary page is torn out of an old dictionary that I picked up at a second-hand store.  The key hole stamp is from Bo Bunny and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Clean and simple sympathy card

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players clean and simple challenge of sympathy or encouragement. 


The silhouette sprig and sentiment stamp are from My Favorite Things.  I used the postage die from Penny Black to cut out a panel then used it as a stencil to create a tall and skinny area to stamp the sprig silhouette. Tumbled glass distress oxide ink used with a blending brush. 

I did add some shine to the dots with a black gel pen, but you can't see it in the photo.
