My entry for the new Freshly Made Sketches challenge with a fun layout designed by Judy. The patterned paper does most of the "talking" with only a layered snowflake and a simple sentiment popped up with foam tape.

Word Art Wednesday

 

 

It's time for a new Word Art Wednesday challenge with a verse from I Timothy 6:6. Our generous sponsor is Concord & 9th and they are giving away a $30 gift card to some lucky participant!  

I stenciled the "watercolor" corners using Tumbled Glass distress ink. The sentiment was printed on a Word document then reduced by 45%. The sunflowers were die cut from Bristol Smooth Surface paper then color blended with distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs. 

DIES: Into the Blooms: Sunflowers (Papertrey Ink); Master Layouts 08 (Gina K Designs).

OTHER: Stencil by Papertrey Ink; Gems by Pinkfresh Studio.

 

We would love to have you join us in the challenge! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda
 
 

Think Pink

Being a breast cancer survivor for 7 years, I am always jumping at a chance to spread the word for ladies to get their mammograms yearly! To recognize breast cancer awareness month, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has a "think pink" challenge for us. To add to my Christmas stash, I made a couple of cards using products that Kristina Werner designed last year for Concord & 9th. I LOVE the berries stencils and dies collection and went with some non-traditional colors for Christmas.  

STAMPS: Merry Christmas Builder Stamps (Concord & 9th).

INK: Candy Violet (Pinkfresh Studio).

PAPER: Rich Razzleberry, Light mauve (? name) by Stampin' Up; Pink glitter paper; Silver Shine (My Favorite Things); Stamper's Select White (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Gentle Berries Stem Layering dies, Merry Greetings Builder dies (Concord & 9th); Border Bling: Tin Stitch (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #842

 

Red, orange and green are the colors for the new Color Throwdown challenge.

INK: Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel (Papertrey Ink); Lemon Whip, Warm Buff, Key Lime, Olive, Mint, Sage, Eucalyptus (Pinkfresh Studio).

Tic Tac Toe

 

 It's a rainy day in VA which means a perfect day for some crafting! I am trying to get Christmas cards completed at an earlier rate this year so, I made two of this layout for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge where I used the row of die cut, twine and embossing.  The snowflakes were embossed and I loved stamping and die cutting these whimsical trees!

INK: Fine Linen, Pure Poppy (PTI); Versamark.

PAPER: Classic Kraft, Stamper's Select White (PTI); Silvery White glitter paper.

DIES: Peaceful Forest, Bring Hime the Holidays, Larger Than Life: Peace (PTI).

That's it for today...have a good one!  ~Wanda
