Delicate Flowers Get Well

 Happy Monday!  

For the new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, I have used a new Gina K Designs stamp and die set, Delicate Flowers.

I stamped and then colored with pencils and Gamsol. The sentiment comes from Gina K as well. The denim card stock is the last sheet remaining of my CTMH paper in denim, and the kraft is Neenah Desert Storm.  I can not decide whether I should put some embellishments on...your thoughts?

Thank you for looking and I hope to see your creations on the blog link at AHSC this week :-)

Sun-sational

 

Company and travel keeping me out of the craft room lately, but today there was a bit of time. I was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches.  It was fun to use a new set from Gina K Designs, The Good Life. I colored with pencils and Gamsol, and cut with coordinating dies. To create the little frame, I dragged the ink pad on some paper to get a woodgrain, and then cut with two square dies.

Sea You Soon

Shaker cards are always a special event for me, but this sketch spoke 'shaker' to me.  I wanted a card to send to my brother saying how excited I was to be seeing him soon on Cape Cod.  

So I created the background with Summertime Waves embossing folder of the Month for June from Spellbinders. I cut a 2 1/2" circle and the behind that is some white card stenciled with Brutus Monroe stencil, Seashell Swirls. The little elements were all cut from color scrap card using a variety of dies - Gina K, Flora & Fauna, and Savvy.  The sentiment is from jillibean Octopus set.

Hope you will feel crafty and join the challenge at TSOT!

Center Diamond

The Gina K inks used are Light and Medium Carnation, with enamel embellishments, Fashion Jet, from Spellbinders.

More Yarn

 

Try A Sketch On Tuesday #650

This set Yarn Love from Simon Says Stamp gets lots of use because I have so many friends that knit and crochet.

I stamped the yarns on scrap colored card that coordinated with this piece of patterned paper that looked like knit to me; that paper and the embellishments are from my long retired Close To My Heart stash.  I don't have the dies, so all was fussy cut. Ink on all was Outdoor Denim.

Hope you will check out the rest of the Design Team creations at TSOT and join the challenge!
