Happy to have some craft room time today and a chance to play with some of my kit from Gina K. The flowers are from the Thankful and Blessed set. I colored with pencils and Gamsol and cut it with the coordinating die. The background used the Decorative Double stencil on a panel cut with Master Layouts 4.
The challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday is to have oodles of doodles. It's been a crazy week here just returning from a visit with my brother... but it was fun to just doodle this morning.
Sentiment is from Gina K Designs, Tall Stems set.
Hope you will join the fun at TSOT!
My card is inspired by the sketch #703 at Freshly Made Sketches.
I used Gina K Designs products: Autumn Delight stencil and die, inked with Sea Glass Turquoise Sea, Tranquil Teal, Jelly Bean Green, and Fresh Asparagus; All at Once -All Occasion sentiment, Elegant Script Background, and some silver mini embellishments.
Good morning! Monday means a great new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Today's reminded me of quilting - and back in the day I loved making paper quilt cards. So I was very happy to play around with some pretty scraps for this sketch. I hope you will try it out and join the fun at AHSC.
The new challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday shows two main elements , and our sister challenge at Double Trouble has added an optional twist to make an aperture and fill it.
So for my Design Team inspiration I made a maple leaf aperture with a Simon Says Stamp die and filled it with some autumn colored embellishments. The background was embossed with Gina K's Falling Leaves folder and then I rubbed it with gold gilding wax. The leaves and acorn were cut, inked and also edged with gilding wax. Sentiment from Gina K's Doodled Autumn set was stamped and fussy cut.
Hope you will check out the DT inspiration and play along. It's such fun to visit your blogs to see your creations.
Happy Monday, and welcome to challenge #644 at
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
I saw a video of someone embossing vellum, and wanted to try it. So I used a thin strip folder I have had unused in my stash for years and created a window front. I cut aperture and frames using Gina K Designs Master Layouts 18. The floral, leaves, and sentiment are from her Floral Friendship set. Card base is her Emerald Coast. Colors used are Emerald Coast, Butterscotch and Sunkissed Coral.

I watched the video tutorials to make this pretty design, and both were very helpful. I have linked them below. Cutting triangular shapes always presents some tricky measuring, but following Patti Dolan's written directions made it very easy. She also inspired me to look through the papers I have collected from visits in Japan. I did not use dimensional tape to adhere my fan pieces. This is an A-2 size card.
The gold embossed sentiment comes from a retired Simon Says Stamp set.
