God Bless America


Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week is our Designer Choice Challenge and Donna wants us to use Red, White and Blue.

I used a post it note to block out the star portion of the flag stamp, so that I could ink up the red stripes. Then reversed it to stamp the star portion. The stamp comes with the sentiment on the top and bottom of the flag, however, I did cut it apart to use all sections indepentetly (no pun intended). I had a heart that I had saved from another project that I used on this.  Came together quickly and I kept it fairly clean and simple for the July 4th Holiday. 



There's a new challenge every week over at  The House That Stamps Built, and you don't have to use Repeat Impressions stamps to link up or win. Also, for my blog readers: Enjoy the 10% discount code to the Repeat Impressions Store posted on the sidebar.

Thanks for always being there

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today.


I used quite a few different stamps on this one. Started with the wood plank stamps from WPlus9. I stamped them in provincial gray from Fresh Ink. Concord & 9th beautiful branches used on the center panel. Thanks die and sentiment are from Simon Says Stamp.

I used a medium gray for the base of the card and to cut out the "thanks." I used fun foam to pop up the wood plank panel and I also used a strip of it on the small sentiment panel.

Also adding this into the SSS Wednesday challenge.

Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!

Fish - lots of fish


Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes!

Went with a masculine theme for this challenge as I needed to add some masculine cards to my stash. 

Fish are stamped ramdomly and heat embossed with clear embossing powder so that I could color them with Copic's. Added the fly in the center and the birthday sentiment across the bottom and called it done.

Just a note to say...


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.



To create this water color palette that matched the picture above, I got out my Arteza watercolor brush markers. I did  stamp the flowers in Versamark and heat embossed them using white embossing powder. Then heavily spritzed the watercolor paper and dabbed on the watercolor markers here and there. Used my heat tool to dry in between adding colors. After I decided the watercolors were done, I went back and painted in the flowers with a white paint pen and then added yellow centers using Fabrika Decoru.
