Freshly Made Sketches #755

Donna's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches had me thinking and going through my stamps/dies until I landed on one I thought would work best.

It may be a little out of proportion and there is no sentiment but the rest is what the sketch calls for.  The background is embossed with Crackle Paint from SB on the top and Honey Bee's Rustic Brick Wall on the bottom which gave me a great place to hang my Altenew Houseplants.

Double D Challenge - Pretty in Pink

Double D has a Pretty in Pink challenge and I wanted to play with some new products and used their challenge as inspiration. 

It started with Pinkfresh Studio's Beautiful Branch, stamped in light gray ink and stenciled with Gina K Light Carnation, adding it darker in the center.  Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades colored the leaves. I cut a panel with PFS Blanket Stitch Ovals but wanted to pop it up so a piece of cardstock was folded to make the mechanism.  To frame it all, pink cardstock was embossed with SSS Flower Frame.  The sentiment is a BetterPress.

Just Us Girls #842 - Stencil Week

Your favorite Stencil Week is back at Just Us Girls and it's Anything Goes hosted by Sue.

I would like to thank Julia Aston for all the wonderful cards she created to inspire our followers this month. 

I gold heat embossed the Lovely Camellias set from Altenew and stenciled with their Spring Bouquet inks.  The trimmed navy panel was embossed with Altenew's Dotty Circles and a gold embossed sentiment from their One-Go Birthday was added. 

Now it's your turn.  Which stencil will you choose to use to make a card for our challenge?  We'd love to see yours in our gallery.

Color Hues #141

It's so much easier to use most of my stamps when Color Hues has green in the mix.  This challenge has Sheri's choice of purple and artichoke. 

I've been watching Jennifer McGuire videos and loving the ideas she has for making cards with a twist. I made a Zfold card with a flower overhang.  The stenciled flowers are Amazing Things from Pinkfresh Studio, colored with Altenew inks.  The embossing is the Sparkling Facets folder from SSS and the sentiment is a BetterPress.
