Doodles

Happy Monday!

My DT card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this week was just fun. I wasn't sure it would work, and it's pretty rough, but it was a delightful experiment.  I water colored stripes of color with my Kuretake Gansai set. They are super intense and pigmented. Then inspired by a Gina K video, I did some doodling with a black pen and a white gel pen. I wasn't very patient, and got smudges on the white background, so I fussy cut out my design and adhered it to a plain white back panel.  The sentiment was heat embossed and popped up with foam tape.

Hope you will check out the sketch and give it a try with strips of patterned paper, swooshes of paint...whatever you can imagine and enjoy.  Share it with us on the blog - we love seeing what you create!

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.

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

 

Monday!  

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.

Hello!

 

The new challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday

will run from today, February 17- March 1st

My card uses some papers from my stash, a thought bubble die from My Favorite Things, not sure where that hello came from though. 

There are some fun sister challenges at Double Trouble that offer lots of inspiration with their 3-2-1 recipe and optional twists with this sketch.

Hope you will check it out and play along at TSOT, DT or both!  Thank you 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.
