This one was difficult for me - I really had to try out some masking skills, and discovered the need for a lot more practice.
I used all Gina K Designs products - masking Magic, inks, stamps from Harvest Silhouettes, and card stock.
Not my usual card at all, but it was fun trying!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else creates with this sketch - I know I will be inspired.
Monday means a great new sketch at
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
My Design Team card for this sketch uses some old, and some new to me items. The floral cluster, Pen Sketched Flowers from Altenew, was stamped and then very lightly colored with Copics. I used coordinating dies to cut. Using a masking circle I inked with Gina K Light Spruce ink. Then covered my circle and inked Gina K's Elegant Script Background. This was matted with a grey card 3.75 x 5" and popped up on the card base. I did sprtiz with sheer Shimmer and added a few clear sequins. The sentiment is from Altenew's Himalayan Poppy set.
I hope you will have some creative time this week and try out this sketch! See you on the blog :-)
The challenge this week at Allsorts is "A Blast from the Past." This could be Vintage, Retro, or Art Deco.
Prizes from Stampendous will be selected from entries to challenge #780 and this one, # 782.
So my DT card this week is an attempt at Art Deco. When I looked it up, the description was 'strong linear pattern and use of bold color like red and gold.' I used a Simon Says Stamp layered stencil, Stepped Back Blocks, inked with Gina K Cherry Red and Plum Punch inks. I then stenciled a layer with gold Lunar Paste. This was my first time using it, and it is not perfect, but not horrible :-) The sentiment is a SSS die cut from gold mat. I used Altenew's Linked Ovals embossing folder for the back panel.
A super cute celebration card today in red, white, & blue inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #637 and colors, stripes and stars of the Card Concept photo.
I used some paper from my scrap box. The critter stamps are Avery Elle, Summer of Stamping Soak it Up, and the cake is Art Impressions, a prize stamp I won recently. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped them up on some squares inked with a bit of blue. Glassy accents on the sunglasses.
A new sketch at Try A Sketch On Tuesday #647 and a chance to celebrate with TSOT's sister challenge Double Trouble for their 6th anniversary. Not sure, but I think that makes it triple the fun, right?
My card uses some patterned paper from my stash, kraft card stock, a Gina K Designs sentiment, and Spellbinder's dies for the labels and the tiny floral pieces. And the TSOT #647 sketch of course :-)
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
The sun came out and I must rush outside to get some plants potted and dug into the garden. One is a beautiful daisy given to me for my birthday. Daisies are the the flowers of P.E.O. and I love sending my chapter sisters greetings.
I've made this card with papers/embellishment from my stash drawer and a sentiment from Gina K Designs.
Hope you will join the challenge this week at AHSC
My card today is part of the Design Team celebration of a milestone birthday for the Allsorts challenge!
A special Birthday deserves special prizes and we are so excited that our friends at AALL and Create really wanted to be involved and have donated a huge bundle of their products, stamps, stencils, ephemera and washi tape which will be spilt randomly between 15 very lucky winners.
