Hope and joy

Hi everyone,
I liked this sketch so much that I had to do a Christmas version of it.

I found these sweet critters in my "to color" digi stamp files. I have NO idea who designed it. I searched high and low through my computer files and cannot find it.

Colored with Copic's. Designer paper is an old sheet from K&Company that I've had in my Christmas stash forever.  I did use a white gel pen to highlight the fuss on the scarf. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

Anything goes at Simon Says Stamp

  

I'm thinking of you today

Hello! Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #400 today.

The big maple leaf stamp is from Papetrey, Ink. I used Hero Arts inks (mini's) to get the variation of colors on it. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I created the background with a stencil from Echo Park and distress oxide inks. Chocolate card stock from My Favorite Things used to layer everything.
Also adding this into the Anything Goes Wednesday challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

Anything goes - pretty peacock

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.

Peacock is colored with Copic's. I wanted to show the embossing up close and show case the sparkle on it that I added using perfect pearls, but of course it's so hard to photograph that. I did use my Brother Scan N Cut to cut this guy out. 

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.

One lucky person will win a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate on the first Wednesday of every month – Good luck!

Also, check out our Rock Star blogs to see what they did with the challenge.

Hi there

Hi there - here is a card I created for the splatter challenge over at TGIF Challenges.

Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. The leaf dies are from Carta Bella. To get the splatter, I rubbed some black soot distress ink onto my glass matt, spritzed it with water and used a paint brush.

Added the butterfly mini charm onto the tag for interest. I felt like it needed something to finish it off. Otherwise, kept this very clean and simple.

Adventure

Hello everyone. It's my turn to create the project of the week at The House That Stamps Built. Here is what I came up with.

I used the Ranger Emboss it dabber to get a layer of embossing ink onto the kraft cardstock. Then I added clear embossing powder (about three layers) and finally a layer of Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel. While it was still melty, I stamped the boot prints into it to get a good impression. I left it there for maybe 15 seconds and gently pulled it out. This left me with some really cool impressions of the boots. I dabbed on a little black ink to create some dirt in the treads.  The kraft cardstock and the clear embossing kind of reminded me of sand.

Here is a close up so that you can see the impressions.

For the sentiment - I did a partial. Used the Adventure n: on the front and the rest on the inside.

This technique is an oldie, but a goodie. I had forgotten about it but saw something come up on social media regarding it and thought it would really be cool with the boot stamps from Repeat Impressions.

Left boot: 2720-G
Right boot: 2721-G
Sentiment: 5810-E

Just a note

Hello-
Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

Flower stamps are from Impress. I used Fresh ink, which is a pigment ink to stamp the flowers and leaves. The center is stamped in versafine. 

I changed up the oval to a rectangle to fit my die cut sentiment.
