Fuchsia

Today I got to play with a new stencil from Spellbinder's, Layered Magical Fuchsia. I don't have a Betterpress, or the embossing folder for this, so had to do some pen work myself after stenciling. The card uses Freshly Made Sketch #737. I stamped the outer panel with Gina K Designs Elegant Script Background in Soft Stone ink. I used Altenew's Nesting Arches die set. The floral inks Plum Punch card stock are Gina K. I found the right sized sentiment in an Altenew Pain-A-Flower set, Magnolia Rustica, and heat embossed it.

Blooming Branches


Happy Monday!

Ready for some crafting? I have an inspiration card for this week's new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

My card uses Blooming Branches die, embossing folder and layering stencil bundle, inked with Sweet Mango and Wild Dandelion.  I cut a panel with a large circle and then arranged my florals across the top.  The leaves came from a different set, One Day At A Time. The inks used were Light Spruce, Tranquil Teal, and Cadet Blue. 

Directly on the card front I stenciled Altenew's Square Weave Pattern with Sandy Beach ink. Foam tape was used for the top and bottom. I added some mini embellishments and then some black lines on the Tranquil Teal card stock strips.


Also linking my card to Just Add Ink #785 - used both stencils and dies on my card.

Courtyard Silhouettes


Challenge #695 is new today at 

Try A Sketch On Tuesday!

I used a recent Gina K release, Courtyard Silhouettes, for this card but tried an inking technique with the bouquet. I used Zig clean color pens to color the stamp in the Misti so I could get a watercolor-like effect. The sentiment is from the same set and embossing in gold.

Hoping you will play along at TSOT!  The Design Team loves seeing your creations.


There is also a 3-2-1 challenge on our sister blog Double Trouble. Check it out!
