Freshly Made Sketches #733

Jen T's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches gave me the perfect excuse to use some of the patterned paper that's taking up space in my craft room.

The Penny Black paper was the basis for the color scheme, adding it to a gray card base with a yellow rectangle.  Sunrise Stem from SSS was cut from white and colored with Distress Ink.  The sentiment is a BetterPress from Spellbinders.

Color Hues #131

Sheri picked some beautiful colors for the cards at Color Hues.  Coral and Green.  Yay!  That means we can do flowers and of course that's what I did. 

I had to change it up a little and make an acetate card using Pinkfresh Studio's Floral Field.  The flowers were stenciled with Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss and a touch of Heartbeat and the leaves are Silver Sprout and Sagestone, all from Altenew.  The stenciled panel was cut and also another one in white to back it so the glue doesn't show.  I did the same with a 3 1/2 by 4 3/4 panel on the back to write a message.  A sentiment from The Ton finishes it off.  The hardest part about making an acetate card is creasing the fold so it stands up.  I've done this one several times and it still likes to spread out.

Just Us Grils #820 - Stencil Week

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and our host Vicki says it's Anything Goes.

I wanted to try something new this time and use my neglected Oxide inks.

Oxides are less transparent than regular inks and I knew I could use them on kraft cardstock.  I did have to order some finger daubers that I could designate just for those inks but that's fine by me.  The image is from Pinkfresh Studio called Painted Daisies and I wanted the flowers white so I started with Hero Arts Unicorn white.  Daisies are my favorite flower after all.  The sentiment is from PF's Cozy Blooms.  

I know you have plenty of stencils so why not  try something new with them?  I can't wait to see what you do.  If you need inspiration, the Design Team has plenty of it for you.

Christmas Kickstart #109

I knew right away what I would do with the theme at Christmas Kickstart.

They want images wearing a hat and I couldn't think of a better one than Penny Black's Snowy.

I paper pieced his hat and scarf with some Gingham from Honey Bee and added Fluff it Paste to his brim and pom pom.  The background is a press plate from Spellbinders called Snowflake Shimmer and was pressed with Unicorn White on SB Celestial.  To keep Snowy from fading into the snow, I put him on a vellum Stylish Oval from SB.  The sentiment is from PFS.
