Gnome love

Hello. Inked up this cute Gnome stamp from Stamping Bella to participate in a few challenges today.

Playing in the Less is More one layer "cute" challenge and the "love notes" challenge over at The Paper Players.

I stamped the image in Versafine ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder so that I could color with Copic's. I did mask it off (before coloring) and blended on some lemonade Distress ink to ground them and highlight their love. pft.

Pretty happy with this CAS one layer card. It colored up pretty cute.

Thanks for stopping in!

Caffeine is the new black

Hello. Playing in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge of More coffee please. I used a stamp set I won from the last coffee lovers blog hop. It's from Planner Stamps.

That wonderful green polka dot designer paper is from lasting impressions. It's called lamppost limeade dots. I used a stitched fishtail banner die from MFT to cut it out. Then I paired it with a piece of limeade cardstock.

Kept this pretty clean and simple, but colorful. Thanks for stopping in!

Ombre thanks

Hi everyone. I got a chance to play around a bit today with new stamps from Pretty Pink Posh. I paired it with the ombre challenge going on over at Addicted to CAS.

The colors of my cardstock appear to be off in the photo for some strange reason.

I used me new Arteza watercolor markers and did the smooch technique to create some cool water color effects on Bristol paper. Used the coordinating dies from PPP and cut them out.

I blended some wilted violet onto a piece of cardstock and then cut out the "thanks."  Stitched frame die from My Favorite Things.  Fabrika Decoru enamel used to create the dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Classic

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following photo as inspiration.
 

I chose to go with the color palette this time around. Made for a great masculine card.

Sentiment is heat embossed in Silver. Chevy is stamped in Versafine black ink. I used a 3D embossing folder on the silver cardstock to get masculine weave. Finished it off with some silver self adhesive dots.

9118-K, Chevy

9110-G, Classic

Pick of the week - stenciling

Hello. It's my turn to pick what to focus on over at The House That Stamps Built. This week, I want to focus on Stenciling.

First of all I stamped the sentiment and the bee in Versafine ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

Then, I stenciled the honeycomb back ground onto a white card panel using Distress squeezed lemonade ink and a blending tool. I went a little bit brighter or darker on the inside and then fading out toward the edge of the card.

Stamps used are 9308 W Bee and 9312 W just "bee" cause.  I kept this very clean and simple so that the focal point of the stenciling doesn't get lost. I also stamped a bee in the inside right hand corner to continue with the cuteness!

Hope your inspired to get out your stencils and play around a bit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just because

Hello.  Playing in the sketch challenge over at TGIF challenges today.

Flower stamp is from Inspired by Stamping. I used Copic markers to color it.  Black gingham designer paper is from Making Memories.

I pulled out my small scalloped border die to use on the right side per the sketch. I did an a sentiment to this as it seemed to be missing "something" and looked unfinished.

Again, adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of using patterned paper.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

 

Tulips

Hello. I can't believe how busy I've been these past two weeks. It's all been work related, which is all good, but it left little time for stamping. Here is something I was able to color up and it worked really well for this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Stamps are from Papertrey, Ink. I stamped the tulips in Versafine then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Colored with Copic's.

Designer patterned paper is from My Favorite Things.  Which allows me to enter this into the use patterned paper over at Simon Says Stamp.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping in.
