My Favorite Things Get Sketchy Challenge 191

Couldn't resist linking up with this

MFT Sketch Challenge today. Had time on a damp,

chilly day to play in my studio!

 

Here is the sketch we had to work with:

 

 

And here is my take on it:

 

 

I added my stripes of stash and CC dp

 and then embossed the entire front of my

 card with a Cuttlebug polka dot folder.

 

I stamped the sentiment from

MFT Cheerful Blessings

onto a 2" punched circle

and then punched 3 more circles from

thin white cardboard packaging. Gluing these

all together makes the circle stand out nicely.

I stamped 2 hearts, added 6 sequins, tied a bow with

Lion Brand cord and I'm all finished.

 



SAF 2014 Closing Ceremony

So here are all the cards I made during this year's Stamp-A-Faire

sponsored by PAPERTREY INK over the weekend.

I really enjoyed all the videos and techniques!

Next year I will get someone to join me for the fun!

SAF Explore the 1980s

I thought Lexi's take on the

Trapper Keeper was adorable! 

My kids used these so it really brought 

back the memories!

Here is my take on the Retro Rainbows:

Stamps are from Bigger Blooms 

& Sketched Shapes

I swiped Distress Inks across the card.

Dusty concord, Stormy Sky,

Peeled paint, scattered straw,

Rusty hinge, & festive berries

VersaMark, ZING! white ep,

Clear rock candy Stickles

Golden molding paste, Liquitex gesso

White Signo pen & at you Spica clear pen

PTI Ancient Rome Faux Frescoes

I LOVE working with molding paste!

This challenge was one of my favorites!

I used Golden molding paste to cover my 

card front and let it dry overnight.

I inked it with Vintage Photo DI

and then stamped the flowers and leaves from

Bigger Blooms onto it.

Inks include:

Hero Arts Pale Tomato

Peeled Paint DI

SU Sage Shadow

SSS black

I die cut my sentiment from PTI 

Birthday set which is stamped on vellum 

and backed with a text scrap of pp.

PTI Renaissance Challenge

Check out the video for this challenge!

Love the stamping on velvet, I am going

to have to find some and give this a try.

I did do the embossed monogram for the

wax seal part of the challenge. You can

see both videos HERE.

The sentiment is from the

Bigger Blooms set.

Can you see the T for our last name

in the center of the SB die cut?!

DCWV Old World Stack provided

the perfect paper.



Stamp-A-Faire Morning Timer Challenge

PTI fun! Check out the blog

I had a fun time with this easy

challenge that gave us a choice of

a color scheme and a sketch.

So here is my CAS card:

Inks:

Hero Arts Pale Tomato & Fresh Peach

Tattered Rose DI, Stampin' Up Sage Shadow

& Evergreen Bough DI

I added some Pale Tomato splatters & a

scrap piece of cs before stamping the

sentiment from Sketched Shapes.

Unity Stamp Co.

PTI Stamp-A-Faire 1920's

I'm enjoying PTI's STAMP-A-FAIRE!

Here is my entry for the

1920s challenge.

I used a SB Moroccan Accents die 

to cut my plastic packaging.

Lots of clear gems (they look blue!)

This is old Graphic 45 paper on the

background. Teresa Collins 

Now & Then plaid paper.

The sentiment is PTI's

Think Big Favorites

PTI #177 Cover Plate Negatives

The PTI challenge this week is

to use the negative of a die plate.

I used the Happy Birthday plate

because it is the only one I own! 

I love die cutting, don't know why...

it's just so cool!

I used old, old Cosmo Cricket pp

and some MS cs.

Added some cord and jewels and all done.

Of course I had to make a card out of the 

actual die cut as well:

I swiped my Evergreen Bough DI pad

Across the ivory Recollections cs.

Again added cord and jewels.

Thanks for stopping by!

After it was dry I placed the stencil back over the

Vanilla Ink pad. Colored word and red strips with 

Pale Tomato ink pad. Yellow strip with Soft Vanilla ink pad.
