Freshly Made Sketches #754

The sketch for Freshly Made Sketches is wide open and ready for any half panel you want to design.  I had one already made and in the package.

Jesus is the focal point of Simon Hurley's Nativity Scene, cutting him in color while Mary and Joseph are silhouettes.  The background was colored with Distress Inks and splattered with Hero Arts Unicorn Spray.  The sentiment is from Spellbinder's The Three Magi.

The Paper Players #803 - Color Challenge

I knew right away what I was going to do for the color challenge at The Paper Players.

LeAnne's colors were perfect for Altenew's poppies, stamped in their ink.  No green?  No problem.  I just left the leaves in outline form.  They're on a background created with SSS Whirlpool Spinner embossing folder.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Just Us Girls #841- Mood Board Week

Just Us Girls has their Mood Board Challenge this week and here is the board chosen by our host Vicki.

Here's a close-up so you can see all the ideas this photo holds.  I went with the one in the lower right.

The houses and trees are from STAMPlorations The houses were stamped on watercolor paper and masked so the tree could be stamped between.  Everything was loosely colored with Distress Inks and a sentiment from Hero Arts was added.  

Which photo from this collage caught your attention?  Check out the Design Team and guest designer Julia's makes for inspiration.

Time Out #322 - Inspired By Challenge

 There's an Inspired By challenge at Time Out and we want you to be inspired by the colors of the season where you live. 

As the weather turns colder, mid September can start the changing of colors here in mid-Michigan where I will be until the end of this month and I love the variety that the trees turn.

  

I smooshed panels with a variety of Distress Inks from which to cut the images from Tim Holtz's Foliage Wreath.  It's on a panel embossed with the Dancing Starlets folder from SSS.  

Our sponsor for this challenge is Gina K and the winner will be awarded a $25 store credit along with an invitation to guest design.  

Since we have followers and a Design Team from all over the world, we should see a wide range of colors choices for cards for this challenge.  I hope you'll join us.

CAS Mix-Up September Reminder

There is still time to play along with the CAS Mix-Up Challenge this month.  I'm hosting and our prompt is 

I hope you'll join me and my teammates for this fun and colorful challenge.  I have another card to inspire you.

One of Papertrey Ink's Botanical Blocks was heat embossed in gold on Bristol Smooth and colored with Zig Real Brush Markers.  After adding the sentiment from MFT, the panel was placed on Pumpkin Pie cardstock from SB.  This is to show you that 'white space' doesn't need to be white and the card is still Clean and Simple.
