Blooms

 This is my Design Team contribution for challenge #664 at

Try A Sketch On Tuesday

I used a piece of a stencil background from my collection box, part of a Savvy die for the sentiment, and lots floral elements cut from scraps with Spellbinder's Be Bold Blooms for a very colorful take on the sketch.

Double Trouble, TSOT's sister challenge blog, has a marvelous 3-2-1 recipe that I have also used for inspiration.  Hope you will check both out and join us in some crafty fun.

Birthday Wishes

 

Used a little ink smooshing and cut it with Gina K Botanical Duo. The patterned card stock was from a magazine, the twine from a gift wrapped package. 

I do like repurposing items!

This is a classic sketch and so versatile. Hope you will join this  challenge and share with us at

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Have a Heart

 

Using up some patterned paper from my Valentine scrap folder today - inspired by challenge #663 at                                     Try A Sketch On Tuesday.

The big hearts and sentiment are Gina K Designs Love Trio and Master Layouts 4 dies.  The small 'talkie' heart was fussy cut and stamped and heat embossed with a sentiment from a very old CTMH wooden set.  

You will find some amazing inspiration from the rest of the Design Team at TSOT.  ~and ~ please check out our sister challenge  Double Trouble. Check out their 3-2-1 recipe below. 

Hope you will play along!

My card also inspired by Tic Tac Toe challenge 263 where I have used the top row of hearts-designer papers-love sentiment

White on White

 Sympathy cards are the most difficult to make for me. My card today uses a white on white design inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #671 and Double d Challenge.

I embossed with a folder called Whimsy and made horizontal strips with a Stampin' Up border punch and thin piece of silver card. The Gina K Designs sentiment was foiled with silver.

Ocean Thoughts

 

Thinking a lot about of my brother - my visits to him each year on Cape Cod. Making plans to bring my grandchildren there this year has me thinking of the many happy beach memories.  

My card uses Seashell Swirls stencil from Brutus Monroe and a sentiment from Gina K Designs set, Delicate Dahlias.

Inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches #552

Sending Love

 

My Design Team card for #612 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I used some papers from a Paper Studio 6x6 collection. The blue card stock, die cuts and sentiment from Gina K Designs.

I just love sketches like this that can use some pretty papers and come together so quickly.

Hoping to see your take on this sketch on the AHSC blog!

Sing a Song of Spring

 

Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #670, I stamped Gina K Designs Tall Stems and colored with alcohol markers. The back panel is some CTMH patterned paper from the scraps bin stamped with Sheet Music from Kaisercraft.
