Playing with my new Kuretake water colors and decided to try a take on Freshly Made Sketches 668. I added some stamping on top with an AALL & Create set. The color is pale (several others more vibrant are in the bin), but I like the palest of pink, orange and green which was inspired by The Paper Players color challenge this week.
It was a bit messy, and I abandoned the first try, changed the colors and tried again. My intention was to cut vertical rectangles and mat with gold, but I realized my images were too large so I decided to take a bit of artistic liberty with the sketch.
Materials: Bristol paper; Be Kind stamp + die SSS; sentiment from Gina K Botanical Leaves set; Spellbinders Sweater Weather embossing folder; Distress Oxide inks; CTMH Juniper card stock; Brutus Monroe gilded embossing powder.
Hope you will join us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
Reorganizing some stamps today and just wanted to color this. It's one of my favorites from Altenew, Fresh Freesia. I did a partial die cut and colored with Artist Markers: Y512, Y514, Y608, G915, G935. The inside panel on the right is a dark chocolate that I think was Simon Says Stamp card. The sentiment is from the same Freesia set and stamped in CTMH Chocolate ink. I was inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #551
My card was inspired by Sketch Saturday #767 - and I used the option of stripes with some pretty papers from Bees, the Paper Studio. The card stock is Gina K Blue Denim, and the sentiment from Gina K So Many Sentiments set. The stitched squares are from MFT.
This intricate butterfly is from Gina K Designs Beautiful Butterflies 3 and was stamped on a Distress Oxide blend inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge.

Loving one of my newer Spellbinder layered stencils!
When I saw the challenge at Color Throwdown, I thought immediately of this, and it makes a fun masculine card.
I used Gina K Soft Stone, Stormy Sky, and Black inks, and did another layer with residual ink for an additional grey tone. The thought bubble is My Favorite Things with a Lawn Fawn stamp +die set I've had for a very long time. Embellishments are Spellbinders Fashion Jet dots.
Lots of fun new challenges and my Mojo feels like it is in recovery.
One great challenge is celebrating 9th years and my card to join in used a very fun card fold design from Simply Simple Stamping. It's really a cute surprise pop-up that stands up nicely and you can write a message on the back.
I used some old papers from my stash and a floral die cut, Daisies and Leaves from Simon Says Stamp. Card stock and sentiment from Gina K.
