Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #733
I used Gina K Designs Pin Dot Background stamp, fussy cut butterfly from her Never Loose Hope set, and sentiment from the So many Sentiments set. Innocent Pink card stock and a piece of patterned paper from my stash.
A card using a Spellbinder's 3-D embossing folder Floral Fans by Alex Siberia, some paper from Japan, and a Spellbinder's die Fan & Bow. I just returned from a month in Japan, and making this helped me to not feel so sad to be away. It's a beautiful country and magical in the spring.
Joining the challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure
This week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
I have used a foiled image and a heat embossed sentiment from Gina K Designs. Colored card stock is Gina's Sunkissed Coral. I used the coordinating stencil to color the floral stem. Mat gold and patterned paper from my stash.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you will play along at AHSC this week.
My design team inspiration card uses a sweet image and sentiment from a MFT, Great Adventure Bears stamp and die set that I have had for many years. The papers are from my stash folders as well. I imagine they are in the clouds looking down - so the map paper for the back panel seemed appropriate. lol
My favorite way to color with Copic markers is to stamp with a very light ink in the Misti, color, and then return the card to the Misti and stamp again in Versafine black. I added some Wink of Stella shimmer to the stars. This card will go to a friend who has gotten through surgery and chemo and has just begun radiation.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you will play along and also check out the sister challenge at Double Trouble.
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge has a new challenge.
I felt like a bold card today and colored AALL&Create Black Forest Hello (#1140) with copic markers and fussy cut the main image. The papers are from my black and white stash, with borders cut with MFT Polka Dot Pops and an older punch. The sentiment is from something included in a Simon Says Stamp set long ago. Fun!!
Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you will play along with this week's challenge.
I am in Japan visiting my son and doing a bit of travel as well. One of the things I have planned is the Spring Festival in Takayama. It's a very famous and busy event and I was so fortunate to have help finding hotels from a friend of my son who has been his tutor and travel agent for a long time. This card will be given to her with a thank you gift.
The panels are origami paper from my collection of Japanese papers. The embossing folder and fan die are from Spellbinders. The gold embossed sentiment is Gina K Designs. I am really pleased with how this turned out!
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!
