Freshly Made Sketches #749

Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches based on a sketch by Jen B.


I bought this SSS Wonky Tree die a few years ago when I was at CREATE.  I may have made one or two cards with it last year but I had it with me and decided it would work great with the design and to add to my Christmas stash.  I pulled out a bunch of cardstock scraps and cut each of the three tree sections in every color.  That way I could play around putting them together and end up with extra trees.  The glitter strip is from Altenew's Moonstone and the silver embossed sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio. 

I put the extras all on one card.


I'll add a sentiment when I have access to one I think will fit across the bottom and put the panel on a card base.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Just Us Girls #836 - Word Week

I'm the host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and I have chosen "Water".


I've had to make a couple of other cards featuring water so I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with enough cards to cover them all.  For this one I used all die cuts.


I cut a panel with C9's Wavy Card Front die, then inked the various sections with the Lapis Lazuli set of Altenew Inks.  I tucked the boat from Spellbinders Set Sail under one of the cuts.  

What does the word water bring to your mind?  I hope you'll join our guest Betty Keefe and the Design Team by making a card for the challenge.

Color Hues #138

My card for Color Hues is nothing special but navy and teal plaid makes a great masculine card and I need more of those.


The plaid are the thick and thin dies from Concord and 9th and the stacked sentiment is from Penny Black.

Freshly Made Sketchesd #748

Verena is hosting Freshly Made Sketches and her sketch made me think of my Houseplants die set from Altenew.


The polka dot paper scrap was the jumping off point and I made the pot in matching gray with pink flowers and added a pink strip accent.  The background is the Subtle folder from SU and the sentiment is from Altenew's One-Go Birthday.
