Easter Bunnies

 

A sweet card for my grandchildren using challenge#691 from 

Try A Sketch On Tuesday

My DT inspiration card uses an Innocent Pink (Gina K )card base, white panels embossed with a Sissix basket folder, cut outs using Peeking Bunny (Simon Says Stamp) die, sentiment from Gina K, and stenciling inside with Pretty Pink Posh Easter Background stencil. It's a simple gatefold.

Check out our sister blog challenge at Double Trouble for additional fun and inspiration!   I have used their 3-2-1 recipe and the twist: include a four legged animal (just didn't show the legs lol).

St. Patrick's Day


 

Happy Monday morning and welcome to the new challenge

at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

I used some papers from my scrap stash, dies from Gina K, and stamps from a Simon Says Stamp set.  The Pear card stock also from my CTMH stash.  A very quick card with just a little heat embossing.

I hope you will give this easy and versatile sketch a try.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Hogs & Kisses

 

New challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday!

I went whimsical and a bit silly with my card today :-)

TSOT's sister challenge Double Trouble has a twist option on their recent challenge "include a pig"  So I went for it.

Masked off the edges of the card and stenciled clouds, covered that with Gina K Sunburst cover die, constructed a little barn, and the rest is from an older MFT set, The Whole Herd. I have loved this set, and sorry to say it doesn't seem to be available anywhere now.

Live for the Moments

The new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is ready for your creations. The challenge is February 23-March 1st

My inspiration for you used some papers from my scrap stash of papers from Simon Says Stamp kits from a few years back.  I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides and used an old CTMH text background stamp.

I hope you will join the challenge. All the Design Team cards go on the blog on Wednesday.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Year of the Horse

 My son was born in the Year of the Horse, so this set from Spellbinder's was perfect for a card for him to celebrate Lunar New Year next week.  The card uses Gold, Horse, Deep Red card stock, and a heat embossed good fortune sentiment.
