Freshly Made Sketches #732

I've wanted some lighter alcohol markers so after seeing Gina K recommend Ohuhu markers and my friend Judy saying she has the pastel ones I couldn't resist.  I'm in the process of swatching them but decided to pick a few for the flowers on my card for Freshly Made Sketches. 

It's going to take some practice and watching a few videos but I'm ready for the challenge.  That may be my summer project.  The flowers are from Altenew's Adore You and the paper, which has the same lined vibe, is from Paper Rose.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Just Us Girls #819 - Mood Board Week

I'm the host for Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls and this is what I found to inspire you.

Here's a larger image so you can better see how many different things you have to choose from.

See that image in the middle?  That's the direction I took.

I used the same umbrella I used a few weeks ago from Honey Bee and filled it with the vines from Altenew's House Plants.  The branch is a die from MFT and the background is patterned paper from Altenew.  I left off a sentiment because I didn't know what to use or where to put it. 😁

I hope you'll join me and my team mates for this fun mood board challenge.

Time Out #311

It's Pick Two time at the Time Out Challenge.

We are being sponsored by Stamplorations who is offering a $25 store credit to our winner.  

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Shery Russ back as our wonderful sponsor. After facing a life-changing health ordeal, Shery has reopened her business following nearly four years away. Her strength and creativity continue to inspire us all.  The Design Team will be using her products.

My pick two are pastel and bloom. 

My card features Dee's Blossom Spray #2, white heat embossed on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks.  The same Dried Marigold ink was used to watercolor the card base and the image was cut with PTI's Tipped Tops. It's the first time I've used that die in ages and I love the interest it gives the design.  The sentiment is from Penny Black. 

We'd love to see what you pick to make a card for the challenge.

The Paper Players #981

The color challenge at The Paper Players is one that I can get into - yellow, gray and black.  Therese Calvird made a card using Leaf Canopy from Altenew as the background and that was my inspiration.  You can see her card here by scrolling down. 

Altenew's Sulfur Cosmos was cut in yellow with Fresh Lemon added for shading.  Quilted Frame from Waffle Flower was cut in gray and the white embossed sentiment is from The Ton.

Color Hues #130

Today's card is for the Color Hues challenge of Fuchsia and Navy.  I didn't want to do my usual florals so it took a while to come up with something.

The Spellbinders Gorgeous You Perfume Bottle was part of a class I took a while ago but I can't remember what class or when it was.  I evidently didn't make a card with the die set because I searched my blog and couldn't find anything. The bottle was cut in C9 Dragon fruit and embossed with Altenew's Crystal Wall. Gina K's In the Navy was used for the sentiment frame and background that was embossed with SB Cross My Heart.  It was necessary to use double sided tape to keep the bottle stuck to the background with all that embossing.  A sentiment from the set was heat embossed in gold to go with the ribbon.
