Try A Sketch On Tuesday

 

My card for Try A Sketch On Tuesday #682.  Had to put my  thinking cap on for this sketch because I wanted to also include the 3-2-1 ingredients for Double Trouble with the Twisted Sister's optional to include a bird. Not too many birds in my collection, but a search found Gina K Designs Harvest Silhouettes which I paired with a Foliage Filler die cut, and circles from Master Layout 7. The rest is from my stash: old SSS patterned paper, SU! ribbon and a CTMH sentiment. (It's not hoarding folks :-) it's creative opportunities) All stamped with Distressed Oxide Hickory Smoke.

Hope you are inspired to play along with one or both of these challenges!

Peace On Earth

 

       My inspiration for the new challenge at

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I ink blended a panel in blues, sprayed with some silver glimmer and while that dried, I cut out the Winter Scene dies from Savvy. I backed the windows with some yellow. I matted with on silver card and then all that on a Swiss Dot embossed card front.  I used a tiny snowflake punch and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

Shades of Fall

 

My inspiration for the new challenge at 

    Try A Sketch On Tuesday

I used a dry embossing folder and then ink blended a bit on some edges. The hexagons were cut with a Pretty Pink Posh die set.  All the fall images are from Gina K Designs Autumn Splendor ephemera sheets and die.

I've managed to include the 3-2-1 challenge at Double Trouble as well!   

Used 3+colors, 2+ images, and dry embossing.  (See the challenge below)   Hope you will play along!!

My DT card for you uses images and sentiment from Gina K Designs Thankful and Blessed stamp & die set. The panels and tag were cut with Gina K dies as well.  I colored the leaves with Copic markers.

I hope you will play along!

Challenge #680 at Try a Sketch On Tuesday!

Used my little Spider die cut from Simon Says Stamp that I bought last year, sentiment from Gina K 's Handmade Holidays set, and papers and enamel dots from my stash.  This came together so quickly. A very fun sketch!    Hope you will check out the inspiration from the rest of the design team and play along.

Winter Birthday

 

Happy Monday!

Sketch #648 at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this week had me playing with Gina K's Tall Pines stamp and some blending and sponging. 

After sponging some blue on the white panel, I stamped in black and splattered with some white paint. When it was dry I cut it into five 1" wide strips and slightly shorter heights before matting each in black.  For the background, I used a blue card stock that was just a shade deeper and sponged white pigment ink and then splattered some silver shimmer. (Hard to see in the photo.)  The two outside trees are adhered directly to the back, the next in were raised just a bit with a piece of card stock, the center popped up with foam tape.

The sentiment is Gina K All Occasion embossed with silver.

Hope you will join the challenge at AHSC!

Cone Flowers

 Happy to have some craft room time today and a chance to play with some of my kit from Gina K.  The flowers are from the Thankful and Blessed set. I colored with pencils and Gamsol and cut it with the coordinating die.  The background used the Decorative Double stencil on a panel cut with Master Layouts 4.
