Spring Rain

 

A fun little card for the new challenge at                               Try A Sketch On Tuesday.

I really had to also use the challenge inspiration from       Double Trouble for this one as it isn't my usual kind of card. I have an umbrella, rainbow colors, water and boots in my scene! All  all the elements were found in a very old CTMH set that I colored and fussy cut, and I had a bit of fun covering the boots with packing tape to make them shiny.  There are clouds punched, and stenciled, and die cut flowers from Spellbinders.

Hope you will play along!

Homemade Paper

New today at   Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

A dear friend made some paper for me last week!  She used paper from her shredder and I think it's marvelous!  Little flecks of green and gorgeous texture.  I used half of one piece for this card and several scraps of card stock trimmed with specialty scissors. The Simon Says Stamp sentiment die has been in my stash  for many years - I love the bold font.

I hope you will play along. Link up your creation at AHSC

Congrats

 It was the hexagons in the sketch that inspired my card.        At first I was going to put die-cut flowers on top of the large hexagons, but then decided I wanted to keep the graphic look.  

Hope you will check out the amazing cards from the rest of the design team and play along at                                             Try A Sketch On Tuesday

Spring Greetings

 

I see daffodils popping up in my yard!  I have done the first lawn mow of the season and still lots of weeding and digging up to do.  The change of season brings a new energy.

My card for #620 at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge uses an older CTMH stamp colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut twice.  I rotated the sketch and made the rectangle element a flower box.

The back panel was created using Gina K Design inks with Pretty Pink Posh's Easter Background stencil.  The image and sentiment are Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead set (their March 2022 kit).

Please join us at TSOT for this challenge that runs                  March 4-16th, and check out our sister challenge Double Trouble!

Atlantic Hearts SC 618

 I had fun foiling for this card!  Using Gina K Designs Delicate Dahlias polyglaze and dies for the florals and sentiment; did some stenciling with Light and Medium Lilac inks. The patterned paper is from a long retired CTMH pack and fit the sketch just right.  I used Master Layouts 2 to cut the stitched panel and mat. I discovered that it's hard to take photos of cards with foiling :-(  So much nicer in real life.

We would love to see what you create with this week's sketch. Hope to see you at                                                                         Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Have a Great day!

 

Loved this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and glad I finally found some time to use it this morning.  

I inked Altenew's Mega Bloom stencil with their Lapis Lazuli set of inks. Then without removing the stencil I stamped SSS You Matter background with white pigment ink, and added some dots with a gel pen.  The dots gave me an idea to die cut with Altenew's Mix and Match Frames. The sentiment was white heat embossed their Iceland Poppies Paint-A-Flower set, and I used ink to color the paper strip to match.
