Snowman Sketch

Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches

Stretching that panel just a bit!  Die cut the Tim Holtz snowman and sponged with Weathered Wood Distress Ink, then die cut the 25 also by Tim Holtz out of the snowman base.  Spritzed him with some Heidi Swapp white shimmer mist.  Colored the 25 and spritzed with some shine mist and placed back in the die cut area. Stamped the sentiment in Memento Nautical Blue and did another inlaid die with the fishtail tags.  Placed on a piece of blue striped cardstock from my stash pile and matted with some navy and placed onto some SU Bordering Blue for the card base.

Thanks for taking a look!

Shiny Christmas

It's been a while since I played along with Retro Sketches.  I really like this sketch.

Metallic papers are really hard to get a good photo of.  I used some of my Reverse Confetti dies for the tag and topper and the gold striped piece.  Die cut some ornaments from metallic silver and purple foil and added some rub ons.  Die cut the snowflake border in a lighter purple then used an old background stamp (I think it is by Anna Griffin) to stamp the center of the card base with Memento Elderberry ink.  Added some gold and silver twine to the ornaments and used the same twine for the bow on top of the tag.

Witchy

Another Halloween card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches

The Male Room

This is another unknown stamp from a friend.  Stamped it onto light yellow cardstock, sponged the edges with Memento Cantaloupe ink.  Stamped the image again on another piece of cardstock, heat embossed with black ep then cut the witch and her broom out and adhered her over the original image.  Strips of cardstock from my basket of scraps were added.

Smile

Sending more love to my niece.  I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!

Stamped the flower from the Altenew Peony set with Memento Elderberry and Sweet Plum and WPlus9 white ink on some pale plum cardstock.  Masked the flower and stamped the Grunge from Basic Gray with the Sweet Plum then stamped the Smile from Gina K with the Elderberry.  I didn't have any cardstock to match the Elderberry ink so I took some white cardstock and inked the edges with the Elderberry for a perfect match and then layered onto a plum card base.

Thanks for taking a look!

Just Us Girls #366 - Photo Week

Chris is inspiring us this week at Just Us Girls with a fabulous photo!

We have with us again this week our wonderful Guest Designer Jaydee.  Check out what Jaydee and the rest of the JUGS Design Team have created with this photo for inspiration.

I was inspired by the black cat and the jack-o-lanterns.  Started out by reverse masking to sponge various shades of yellow Distress Inks for the moon, then masked the moon and sponged the night sky in black and blue Distress Inks.  Stamped and heat embossed the cat, cut him out and placed him partially over the moon.  Stamped, colored and cut out the pumpkins.  Stamped directly over the moon with the little bats and sentiment.  Stamps are from Gina K and the cat is from Studio G.

Do you feel inspired by this Photo?  If so, come play along with us at Just Us Girls and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible for a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Fight Like A Girl

Yet another card for my niece who is still fighting breast cancer.  And the timing was perfect for my inspiration from CAS-ual Fridays.

This WTF set from CAS-ual Fridays is really an attention getter!  Stamped the WTF? with Hero Arts Bubble Gum ink and the dots from the same set in Hero Arts neon pink.  Masked off part of the Where's The Fun so I could change fun to fight and used a label maker to add the fight.  Pulled out a Gina K set to add the lace borders.

Great challenge and perfect for supporting the fight against breast cancer.   Thanks for visiting!
