Freshly Made Sketches #678

Cecile has such a wonderful artistic style of card-making and we can emulate that with her sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.   

I see an irregular shape superimposed with a flower.  What do I have?

A die from TH that's part of a Mixed Media set was cut in the corner and backed with yellow.  The daisies are from Pinkfresh Studio's Beautiful Blooms colored with the accompanying stencils and Altenew ink.  Topping it off is a BetterPress sentiment from Spellbinders.

The Paper Players #729

This is my second post of the day.  The deadline for The Paper Players is fast approaching and I just saw it this morning.  Nothing like quickly making a card to keep you on your toes.

Joanne asked for a single stamped image on a clean and simple card and since I need alcohol marker practice and would like to add to my sympathy stash, I decided on these Penny Black Calla lilies called Elegance.  They are stamped in Memento London Fog and colored with Altenew artist markers. The sentiment is also from Penny Black.  

Thanks for dropping by - again.  I really appreciate it.

Just Us Girls #767 - Mood Board Week

Lisa is the host for Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls.

It looks like Spring is just around the corner judging by the photo.  I was inspired by the heart in the bottom right corner. 

And I even had a Spring sentiment to add to my heart wreath from The Greetery.  I tried my Brushos for the first time in quite a while and decided I am not very good with them.  I actually ended up using a smooshing technique to spread the colors and I like it much better.  I cut the center of the heart from white and inserted it so I could emboss the background with SU's Tasteful Textile.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee. 

Which of these pictures will you choose to base your card on?  Let's go see which ones the Design Team and our guest designer Jeanne Jachna picked to inspire you.

Color Hues #106 and AAA Colorful #14

With a color duo like lemon and lime it would be so easy to make a card featuring either of those fruits but I went a different way for Color Hues. 

Altenew's Daisies were embossed on Ranger watercolor paper to keep the integrity of white petals and colored with Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard See and Lost Shadow.  The sentiment from Ellen Hutson was stamped on a banner from Sizzix and a yellow border added. 

AAA Colorful has the same colors for their challenge so my card will go to their gallery too.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great day!

Christmas Kickstart #96 - Not the Norm

What does Christmas Kickstart mean when they say "Not the Norm?"  It means they want cards that don't use the traditional red, green and gold.  I had just the thing.

Spellbinder's Delivering Joy Sleigh was cut from shades of brown with gold foil for the runners.  The background and packages are leftovers from a long ago paper pack and the bows are shimmer paper.  To let it stand out against the patterned paper, the sleigh is added to the inside cut of Penny Black's Classic Frames.  The little gold tag is the only sentiment needed.
