Merry Christmas!

 This is my Design Team card for the new challenge at

Try A Sketch On Tuesday #684, and I had a blast digging through my stash of supplies! Many of them I have had for quite some time, others newer (foiling).

Products used:

Savvy Garden Wreath die (#10157)

Spellbinders Layered Pointsettia Tree dies (July 2023)

Gina K Designs Berries & Vines Poly-Glaze sheet and gold foil

Simon Says Stamp gold matte card stock; sentiment from Gnome for the Holidays (their 2019 kit)

This is a fabulous sketch and if you need even more inspiration, check out our sister challenge blog Double Trouble!  See their 3-2-1 recipe below.

Harvest of Love

 

                 This week's new sketch at                                                           Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

I seem to be loving browns and warm autumn colors this chilly, wet week.  I have used all Gina K Design products for this card.

Card stock, patterned paper, Harvest of Love stamp and die set, Master Layouts 19, and mini pearl bling. I colored with Altenew Artist markers.

Inside is a birthday message for a friend who celebrates Thanksgiving with a birthday cake :-)

Hope you will play along with this lovely sketch!

Autumn Stencils

 Playing around with Spellbinder's Acorns & Oaks stencil today. And inspired by Freshly Made Sketch #712.  I inked with embossing clear ink, scattered gold, red, and copper powders and heat embossed.  Then I used Altenew's Stone Wall stencil over it all.  And also inked with an old texture stamp in black.  I tried dry embossing some of the desert storm card stock with the Stone Wall stencil - it wasn't very deep, but I rubbed over it with white pigment ink and gave it the texture stamp treatment, too.

The sentiment/die is from Gina K Designs Harvest of Love set.

A new challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday!

My card is a mini Slim-line (3.25" x 6.25")

I ink blended Gina K Designs Ocean Mist, Cadet Blue, and Tranquil Teal. Splattered with gauche, and popped up some foiled snowflakes and a sentiment from  Merry & Light which is a collaboration set from Gina K and Simon Says Stamp.  I have had the little snowflake sequins in my stash for quite a while. Taking photos of foiled cards is tough...

The challenge also goes along with our sister blog Double Trouble which went live yesterday. It's recipe can be seen below.

3-2-1:  3 colors, 2 images, 1 sentiment, optional twist=slim-line

Colorful Blossoms

 Happy Monday!  

The new sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts inspired me to try some stamping and partial die cutting techniques.

For some reason I just wasn't feeling like die cutting and piecing together a lot of flowers...so instead I stamped this Spellbinder's image and then flipped it and stamped again. I did the partial die cut and flipped and cut the other side before I colored just to be sure it would work. Yay!  It was perfect. I added the card panels to a mini-slim line card base and backed the die cut with the chocolate card stock so the flowers would stand out. The sentiment from the same set was gold embossed and I added a few mini gold beads and some gold gel pen on flower centers.
