My DT inspiration for this week -#664
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge
I used a emboss/die/stencil set from Gina K Designs, Serene Branches. Sentiment from her Blooming Sunflower set.
Papers are from a long retired CTMH collection.
Love the simple elegance of this sketch. Hope you will play along!
My DT inspiration project for the new challenge #686 at
I admit this one really had me scratching my head...those squiggles... but you will find LOTS of great inspiration on the blog. Each of the Design Team had a different idea. So fun!
I used a Simon Says Stamp set Yarn Love that I've had for quite a while now. I inked with Gina K colors to match some twines I have. The back panel was embossed with Spellbinders Sweater Weather folder.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Leave a hello, and Hop on the challenge at TSOT so I can visit you.
A new sketch at Atlantic Hearts to take us into the New Year.
My goal is to do a bit of reorganizing and purging here in the craft room. And that means revisiting some sets I've forgotten about. The images on my card today are from Altenew's Build-a-Flower Dahlia set. The sentiment is Gina K Designs embossed on a Spellbinders frame die. The back panel was debossed with Altenew's Dotted Swirls cover die (more visible in real life).
The flowers are a layering stamp set and I am NOT good at lining them up at all. I gave up and finished them with Copic markers. I love dahlias but this set will go to a new home.
New at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week - sketch #660 is a quick and easy design for using some pretty papers. Or you could random stamp or stencil a background. I'm baking up a storm of shortbread and biscotti for gifts and so I took the easy route :-) and pulled from my Christmas stash.
I just love this deep dark green.
Hope you will play along with us at AHSC.
It was fun playing with an embossing folder technique seen on a recent Gina K live. I embossed with a Spellbinder's folder, ink blended with Light Carnation and Petunia, and then rubbed lightly with an Altenew Gold pad. I cut the panel and gold matts with some square dies.
The poinsettia was embossed with Gina K's Grand Poinsettia die/embossing folder. But it was too large, so I fussy cut the center, added some gold sprigs and sequins. The sentiment was foiled and cut using Simon Says Stamp/Gina K collaboration set, Merry & Light. That was also subjected to surgery - the bottome half which says "and your heart be light." was adhered to the inside.
We begin December with a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
For this sketch I used a lot of things from my Christmas stash box: some patterned paper from CTMH, a die from Simon Says, some snowflakes from a Gina K set, and brads! Yes, star brads from the very mixed up embellishment drawer. Stitched dies also from Simon Says and Gina K.
Hope you will play along!
