Freshly Made Sketches #725

My Free Form stencil from MFT disappeared and that was what I was going to use for a card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Time to pivot.  

The Punch and Pierced Plate from SB was already cut in the folder and made a lovely background for a simple, inked bloom from Altenew's Garden Cosmos, done in Gina K's light and medium Carnation and Altenew's Silver Sprout and Sagestone.  The little sentiment is from BetterPress.

The Paper Players #774

I was honored with a shout out at the last The Paper Players challenge so I'm back with another card for this week's sketch from Jan.

This card is a mish mash of Bits and Pieces.  I don't know why the plaid looks so distorted in the photo. It was made with an oldie background stamp from Concord and 9th and has been in my Bits box for some time.  I thought it went well with the Beautiful Bloom from Pinkfresh Studio that had been stenciled and was just waiting for a chance to shine.  The grosgrain ribbon is an old die/plate from MFT, the background is a piece of Blossom Field by SSS that didn't emboss right and the sentiment is from my stash cut down to fit. 

The doors are closing on the challenge so I'm off to enter it.  Thanks for dropping by.

Just Us Girls #812 - Stencil Week

Ina is the host for stencil week at Just Us Girls.

It's Anything Goes with a stencil so get yours out and start creating.

I love this Pinkfresh Studio hot foil plate (Birds on a Branch) for anniversary cards and the stencil makes it easy to color. This one uses bronze foil, Altenew inks and a border of SB Cascade cardstock.  The bronze foiled sentiment is BetterPress.  

I can't wait to see what you make for the challenge.  The Design Team and our guest Denise Morgans have wonderful inspiration should you need it.

Christmas Kickstart #107 and NBUS #83

I had several ways to go with a card for Christmas Kickstart - Sing-a-Long, a fun theme picked by my friend and teammate Carol Mayne.  I decided on The Snow Notes from Spellbinders.

After making a card with these delightful snowmen at Michele's last summer, I had to have a set of my own.  All the 'accessories' are cut from scraps. The background is Snowfall Shimmer press plate, inked with Hero Arts Unicorn White on light blue cardstock.  The words are from the Snow Notes set and the music notes are from Penny Black's Sing for Joy.  I can't wait to make more of these fun choristers. 

Since this is the first time using my own set of Snow Notes and the first outing of the press plate, I'm sending my card to Darnell's NBUS.
