301!

Happy Friday everyone!


Here's this week's sketch!

Here's a photo with slightly more accurate colours!

Here's my take. I had fun using embossing powders on die cut words. I was really happy with how they turned out!

Supplies:
Paper: Harvest Gold, Bermuda Bay, White
Ink: Versamark

300!!!

It's here! Sketch #300!



It's quite a simple sketch. I hope you'll use your large alphabet stamps, word stamps or dies on the card.

Here's my card:



And since 300 seems like a big deal, I had to do something a bit different. I've made a video showing the process. It's only the second time I've made a video (and the first one I made was 4 years ago), so please be kind :)



Supplies:
Stamps: Wet Paint, Polka Dot Basics II
Ink: Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, Tuxedo Black
Paper: Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss, White
Accessories, etc.: Satin ribbon, wet paint cuts dies

FTL299 - Happy Birthday


Hi, everyone! Just popping in to share the card I created using the FTL299 sketch... 

To create my card today, I started by stamping three balloon images from Whimsy Stamps' Happy Everything set, then cutting them out with the coordinating die from the Party Time Balloon Die set.  I then stamped three balloon tails in light gray ink onto a white card base.



Next, I stamped three teal confetti burst images from the Happy Everything set, as well as the birthday sentiment in a darker gray.  The balloons were then attached to the card front using pop dots.  I die cut the happy from lime polka dot patterned paper using the Happy Large Word Die, then adhered it to the card base with pop dots.  To finish up, I embellished with clear gems.

Have a great one!

299!

Happy Friday! Here's this week's sketch:


If you've been following the site for any length of time, you'll know I'm quite a fan of circles! For my card, instead of using circle stamps or circle punches, I decided to do a bit of doodling. I started with some watercolour paper and watercolour crayons. I drew a few circles, then added water to smooth them out. I added a sentiment in some coordinating ink and called it a day!


Supplies:
Stamps: Wet Paint
Ink: Limeade Ice, Pacific Point
Paper: Watercolour paper, Limeade Ice, Pacific Point
Accessories, etc.: Watercolour crayons
