Poppy

 

Good morning!  

My inspiration for the new challenge at                                                Try A Sketch On Tuesday   The challenge runs from August18-30th.

I used two poppy dies that have been in my stash for many years, and I haven't used them in a long time. The Large Iceland poppy is a layered die from poppystamps.com circa 2015, and I used the stem from Memory Box's Darling Poppies circa 2014 :-)  I popped up the bloom for added dimension. 

Papers from my black and white stash bag. Sentiment from Gina K Designs Elegant Thoughts, and another inside from All About You.



AND please check out our sister challenge at Double Trouble. I followed their 3-2-1 challenge and did some layering and popped up element, too.  

Hope to see you linked up!

My card used some papers from my stash of CTMH.  I embossed the bottom panel with a new Spellbinder's folder, Festive Greetings, and placed Gina K Designs die cuts from Winter Wonderland inside the circle. The sentiment is foiled with silver and I added some silver shimmer dots.

Stripes

 Inspired by Can You Handle the Pressure challenge "Stars and/or Stripes"

My card used the debossed side of an embossed panel from Spellbinder's Cottage Wall 3-D folder. I ink blended in the debossed wells of the flower and leaves, then lightly rubbed Outdoor Denim ink over all.  The sentiment is from Gina K Designs stamp and die set Spring Things stamped in the denim ink. Embellishments are Fresh Sprout from Trinity Stamps.

Sending Hugs

 

This week's sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts

My card used so many different things from my stash - Gina K Designs houses from the Winter Wonderland set, Best Friend background stamp from My Favorite Things, sentiment from Avery Elle Hugs set, arrows and hearts from a tiny Simon Says Stamp set, plaid paper from Authentique that I got in 2019!  I made the tiny envelopes.

I really had fun making this. Hope you will play along, too, and share your card at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
