Sketch Challenge 217

Good afternoon everyone!

It is a gorgeous day here today! The temp is 60 degrees and sunny! I can't wait for Spring to arrive!!

Here is the card I made for today's Sketch Challenge on SCS. I have been thinking about this one all day while I was at work. I bought this American Craft dp called Metropolitan the other day so I started with this for my inspiration. I went with the colors of Real Red, Basic Black and Baja Breeze. I used the images from Pocket Silhouettes for my three image squares. I stamped three of the images in the three colors and adhered them with pop dots, The panel underneath is just Basic Black with the scallop edge punch used and a Real Red. The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black and I used SU oval punches. I stamped the one remaining images over the sentiment in Baja Breeze. I didn't add any embellies because I felt the dp was bold and busy enough.

I did the inside of the card also. I just went with a piece of WW and the dp with one edge of it with the scallop punch. I then stamped one of the images id Baja Breeze along the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch Challenge 216 Way To Use It 206

Good afternoon! I made a card today for yesterday's Sketch Challenge on SCS and The Way to Use It Challenge for today on SCS in which we were to use stripes. I am not a big fan on stripes so I used some of SU's dsp to help me out. I started with Kraft as my base and layered Pumpkin Pie and Washington Apple dsp. I used my Marvy scalloped circle punches for the circle panels. I used So Saffron and the other striped piece from the same dsp. I pierced around the scallops to make them stand out a bit more. The lower panel is Kraft, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. I stamped the flower image from Upsy Daisy in Pumpkin and a gain is So Saffron to make a shadow image. The sentiment layer is Kraft, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the sentiment from Stampendous in Pumpkin and pierced the corners. I used the SU scallop punch on the Whisper White and pierced the scallops and two rows underneath that. I then tied a piece of hemp twine just around the tow opposite corners. This panel is up on dimensionals.

I went ahead and stamped on the inside of the card. I used a piece of So Saffron and Whisper White and again stamped the image in the two colors.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful afternoon!

Hi!

I haven't made a card since last Friday, so I have no mojo today. I bought this Amy Butler dp at HL this week so I pulled from those colors.

The stamps are from the $1 bin at M's that I found today.

The images are stamped in tuxedo black and colored in with Copics. The small heart is cut out and up on a pop dot as is the carrot. The bunny is on dimensionals.

Thanks for looking and please be kind!!

Hi and happy Thursday! Here is my card for two challenges. The first is for the Sketch Challenge on SCS that was yesterday and today's Way to Use It Challenge to Color Your World. This was a fun sketch to follow. I used True Friend for my images. I just love this set. I colored the the flower with my SU markers in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue and Gable Green. These were the colores that I chose for the colors scheme found here: Pepper 2. I guess you can figure out why I picked these colors. LOL!! I do in fact love these colors together anyway!

The dp is from SU. The butterflies are from the MS punch. I daubered them in Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. The sentiment is from Best Yet. I paper pierced the top and bottom of the image ans I used the SU scallop punch for the image layer as well. The Real Red layer was ran through the Cuttlebug in the Swiss Dots folder. The image layer, sentiment layer and the flowers on the corners are up on dimensionals.

Sketch Challenge 206

Hi!!

What a fun sketch today over on SCS!! I had a completely different idea for this card in my head, but this is the way it came out!! I am pretty happy with it. I started with Blue Bayou as the base card, mellow moss and Playtime dp. The next layer was cut by using my CM cutter. I added dashes with the white gel pen on the red layer. The next layer is Blue Bayou and WW which I ran through with the Swiss Dots EF. I stamped the snowflake in Real Red, Mellow Moss and Blue Bayou and layered them on the scalloped circles in the coordinating colors. I put DD on each snow flake. I used Blue Bayou ribbon for an embellishment. I didn't have any room for a sentiment, so I left it off. I also decorated the inside of the card with Real Red and WW cardstock and a strip on the dp. Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to make a comment!!

Ways to Use It Challenge, Sketch Challenge

Hello!!

I have been so busy, so today I combined yesterday's Sketch Challenge from SCS and today's Way to Use It Challenge in which we were to embellish our envelopes. I often do this already, but lately I have been doing the inside of my cards. Maybe next time we will be doing that!! Anyways, I started out with a piece of Certainly Celery for my base. Then a Close to Cocoa layer and then three strips if Real Red and Chatterbox dp. The image is from Rubber Stampede and the hostess set Best Yet. I added a Filigree accent and the silver brads on the side. The sentiment was punched with the large oval punch from SU! I tried to do the Gamsol technique with the Cardinal bird. I used my Prisma colored pencils and OMS. It is hard to see, but I used the clear stardust pen on the pine needles. The image and sentiment are up on dimensionals.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!!

Hi!

What a great sketch today with so many possibilities. I made mine today with my new Prismatic papers and some new dp that I bought from MME! Loving this paper. I stamped my image i=on white Prismatic paper and cut it out with my oval scallop nesties. I then colored it in with Marvelous Magenta and Buckaroo Blue ink pads and a blender pen. I added tear drop rhinestone brads to the top corner and a sheer white ribbon threaded through with the slot punch. I used my Cute and Curly set for the sentiment. I just layered the sentiment onto a piece of the blue Prismatic paper.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
