Freshly Made Sketches

 

I'm playing along with the fun sketch for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I got a few new goodies from the last release at Creative Worship Stamps and went with a masculine thank you card. The card base was stenciled with Vintage Photo distress ink over Vintage Cream paper.

 

STAMPS: Autumn Collage Tag, Entomology Elements (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Vintage Photo distress (Ranger).

PAPER: Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink); Vintage Shabby 12x12" pad by Tim Holtz Idea-ology.

That's a wrap for today!  ~Wanda
 

WAW Eucalyptus

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time we are featuring Proverbs 16:32. I recreated the verse in a Word document to modernize some of the wording and used the English Standard Version. Since the Stamp Simply company is sponsoring this challenge, I used their Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp/die set for my card.

I'm continuing to whittle away at my leftover pile and had a lot of extra eucalyptus sprays already stamped using distress inks. The background was already made using the Coverplate Exquisite die over soft stone paper. 

STAMPS: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply).

INK: Variety of distress inks.

PAPER: Stampers Select, Soft Stone (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Eucalyptus Silhouettes (Stamp Simply); Coverplate Exquisite,  Love to Layer: Ovals (PTI). 

OTHER: Crinkled seam binding.

We would love to have you play along with us! One lucky participant will win a $25 gift card from Stamp Simply.  Happy stamping!  Wanda

Leafy Sympathy

 

I'm loving this new Leafy Garden stencil collection just released by Papertrey Ink. It's got a "messy" look by not having the leaves line up perfectly! I'm trying to rebuild my sympathy card stash after needing several over the summer. 

STAMPS: Brushed Blossom (Concord & 9th).

INK: Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse (PTI); Versamark.

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI); Sour Apple (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Gold enamel dots (Concord & 9th); Leafy Garden stencils (PTI).

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

There is a new inspiration board for the Tic Tac Toe challenge. I chose the bottom horizontal row of border/yellow/markers for my sympathy card.  It was perfect to initiate a new stamp set - Framed In Flowers - just released from Papertrey Ink. I clear embossed after stamping with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink then colored with Copics.

 

STAMPS: Framed in Flowers (PTI).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI); Plaids 6x6" pad (Recollections); Garden Green scrap from leftover pile.

INK: Worn Lipstick, Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber distress inks (Ranger); Ocean Tides (PTI); Versamark.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

While a thunderstorm is rolling through the Shenandoah Valley here in VA, I'm finishing up this card and entering it into the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I really enjoy the Kristina Werner collection of Long Line Roses she designed for Concord & 9th! The stencils make it so easy to color everything very quickly. I wanted to showcase the new Coastal Blue dye ink and paper recently made available at Papertrey Ink. While it's very close, it's simply not the same shade as Aqua Mist which has not been available for years! I will sadly mourn losing that color!  

STAMPS: Long Line Roses (Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th).

INK: Green Parakeet, Ocean Tides, Coastal Blue, Hawaiian Shores, Blueberry Sky (PTI).

PAPER: Coastal Blue, Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Long Line Roses (Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th); Pierced Feature Frames, Border Bling: Tin Stitch (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).
