BYSHC Sketch #11 – Pawsome Christmas

Happy Saturday! I’m sharing my last card for BYSHC Sketch Challenge #11. I colored Bugaboo Stamps Winter Cat and Puppy Dog digial stamp with Copic and Watercolor Markers.

I used Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities to die cut out the image and attached it to a circle mat that was die cut with Gina Marie Design’s Eyelet Elegance Circle Die. I stamped the sentiment from Recollections Christmas Set with GKD White Pigment Ink onto a red cardstock. I attached everything together onto paper from Recollections Christmas Pets Paper Pad.

There’s still a couple more days to join in on the fun at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. Check the group for more inspirations.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Distressing Flowers

Hello! I’m sharing two cards I made with the same technique. For my first card, I used Unity Stamp’s Prefer to Smile Stamp Set. I stamped it with GKD Amalgam Ink and then I added some Distress Ink Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn into the image. I misted some water onto the image to create that spread. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment and die cut the cardstock.

For my second card, I used Clearly Besotted’s Merci Beaucoup and Brushed Sentiments. I used Distress ink Salty Ocean for the blue. Since I don’t have a yellow Distress ink, I just ended up using a yellow watercolor marker.

Thank you for stopping by.

Butterflies!

Today, I’m playing with Color Hues Color Challenge and A Blog Named Hero’s June Challenge. The two colors for Color Hues are Aqua and Black and A Blog Named Hero’s Challenge is Monochrome.

I started ink blending with Gina K Designs Tranquil Teal , Turquoise Sea, and Sea Glass from top to bottom. I used Hero Arts’ Butterfly Confetti Fancy Die to die cut out my background. I thought the butterflies on matte, black cardstock was boring, so I added some shimmer with Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust.

After my background was done, I stamped the butterfly from Unity Stamp Another Name for Love stamp set with GKD Amalgam Ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I used some White Gelly Roll to give the butterfly some dimensions and fussy cut it out. I heat embossed the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Playful Pair Stamp set with Hero Arts’ Underwater Embossing Powder.

I loved how this turned out, but I need some more inks to blend with.

Hope you are having an awesome week! Thank you for stopping by!

BYSHC Sketch #11 – Rustic

Hello! Today I’m sharing my second card for BYSHC Sketch Challenge #11. For this card, I went with a rustic look by using Recollections Say Freeze Paper Pad. There was no stamping involved!!

I used Gina Marie Design’s Eyelet Elegance Circle Die to cut out the truck and fussy cut out the sentiment. I used Pink and Main Stitched Rectangles Die to cut out a Kraft rectangle for my card base and cut up a 4.1″ by 5.3″ green plaid paper. I tied a piece of jute around the green plaid paper and assembled everything together.

A Friend Like You

I made this card inspired by My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #545.

I used MFT Cat-astrophe Stamp Set for the images and sentiment. I used watercolor to color the image and fussy cut them out. I used Waffle Flower Sunburst Stencil with GKD Wild Dandelion Ink for my larger circle. The flags were made with Concord & 9th Triple-Step Blooming Heart Die Set, and I thought it would be fun to add some paw prints on the white flag. Recently, I’ve been loving a thin, colored borderline, so I added yellow cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by!

Stay Salty

Happy Sunday! I’m back joining My Favorite Things Color Challenge and CAS Colours and Sketches. These colors remind me of the beach so I went back to Hero Arts May’s Monthly Kit.

I started ink blending the card with GKD’s Turquoise Sea, Sea Glass, and Sandy Beach ink from top to bottom. I inked out the images with GKD Amalgam Ink and colored them with watercolor markers. I die cut them out and attached them to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same kit on the bottom right. I die cut out a turquoise rectangle with Pink and Main Stitched Rectangles Die Set to be the card base.

Thank you for stopping by.

BYSHC #11

Hello! I’m super EXCITED to announce that I am now on Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers’ design team! My first time on a design team and I can’t wait to see what this has in store for me.

Are you YETI for the new sketch challenge for BYSHC!

I paired the Recollections Red & White Christmas Paper with this adorable Yeti from Oddball Art Co. The sentiment is from Gina Marie Designs Grinch Theme Stamp Set. I just got this set in the mail, and I had to use it, even if it’s just a sentiment. 😉

Come join us at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Thank you for stopping by!
