Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

 

I loved the unique layout for the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and just had to play along. I was in an earthy neutral mode and used scraps of patterned papers from Honeybee's Textiles & Textures Vintage pad. I die cut strips and adhered them to a rustic white panel then splattered with Ground Espresso distress ink. Some jute twine topped off this simple design.

 

STAMPS: Be Encouraged (Creative Worship Stamps).

DIES: Love to Layer: Rectangles (Papertrey Ink); Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Diagonal Shortcuts (Concord & 9th).

 

 That's all folks! Have a blessed day!  ~Wanda 

 

Graduation Truck

 

I had a special request to create a graduation card for a young man who takes pride and joy in his black pickup truck. I went with Spellbinders large die of the month October for this fun way to "fill up" the rear of the truck with personalized items. Mindy Eggen has a fabulous 6 step stencil set called Scenic Drive that pairs up well with the truck. 

Here's a view of the inside of the card-->

STAMPS: Congratulations Graduate, Hats Off (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Seaside, Sky Blue, Sunshine, Peach Fizz, Doe, Key Lime, Grassy Knoll (Pinkfresh Studio); Canyon Clay (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

DIES: Large die of the month: October (Spellbinders); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Hats Off, Congratulations Graduate (PTI).

 That's a wrap for today.  ~Wanda

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He Lives!

 

Two more weeks and Easter will be here and we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is another Easter card using stamps/dies from Creative Worship Stamps. I stamped the cross using a black pigment ink then clear embossed it and colored with Copics. I used some silver paint for the nails (the shine doesn't show up in the photo very well). I cut out multiple foliage die cuts and color blended with distress inks then arranged them behind the cross. The patterned paper is from a 12 x 12" page I've had for MANY years and do not know the manufacturer's name.   

STAMPS: Rustic Easter (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio distress inks.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White (PTI); Patterned paper - ? source.

DIES: Rustic Easter, Foliage (Creative Worship Stamps).

OTHER: Oval punches (Stampin' Up); Metal photo turn (American Crafts); Silver paint.

Sew Many Stitches

Hello friends! I've got another card using stamps and dies from Creative Worship Stamps. I've had a large roll of adhesive backed trim (ribbon, rick rack, etc.) and decided to create a background using that trim along with some red paper strips that have stitches stamped on them. The Sew Many Stitches stamp set has a big variety of different stitches that add a fun element of texture to your cards! A trio of buttons along with a foliage sprig were added as embellishments.

 

STAMPS: Blooming Tulips - sentiment, Sew Many Stitches - used on several red strips (Creative Worship Stamps). 

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Foliage (Creative Worship Stamps).

OTHER: Assorted fabric trim; Buttons.
