Summer's Last Hurrah

 

I had a lot of fun creating this collage card for the theme of "Summer's Last Hurrah" challenge at Creative Worship Stamps! I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge with the theme of using layers. I stenciled the background then color blended and collage stamped the largest of the Stitched Pocket dies. I tucked in some greenery and a couple of film strip dies. I don't know what took me so long to use these florals from the Patient Echinacea stamp set. I clear embossed them over a black pigment ink then colored with Copics.

Sunflower Birthday

 

I am playing along with Freshly Made Sketches and with Just Us Girls challenges where it's mood board week. I'm needing a birthday card soon, so thought I could make it work with the sunflower dies from Papertrey Ink. The "stripe" was stenciled using Honey Nut and Dark Chocolate inks.

 

I die cut the florals from Bristol Smooth Paper then color blended using brushes and splattered with gold paint after everything dried. The gold foiled script was in my leftover pile.

STAMPS: Birthday Tag Kit, It's A Sign: Birthday Sentiments (Papertrey Ink). 

INK: Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse, Honey Nut, Cocoa Bean, Dark Chocolate (PTI).

Peachy Roses

 

I'm entering the AAA Birthday card challenge to use flowers and also am playing along with the (PIN)spirational challenge to use peach/coral/aqua/jade colors plus a hint of gold glitter.  I used distress inks to smoosh onto the background then splattered with gold paint.

Florals were color blended with brushes and distress inks. The Aqua Mist satin ribbon is sadly coming to an end of my supply. That color will no longer be carried by Papertrey Ink. 

 

STAMPS: Blooming Beauties (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles distress; Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Stampers Select White (PTI).

OTHER: Satin ribbon, Moonshine sequins (PTI); Gold paint Starry Colors (Gansai Tambi).

Off to run some errands. Have a blessed day!  ~Wanda

Flowers In Bloom

 

I am entering this card into the Just Add Ink challenge (choose 2 or more - I chose gingham, flowers, sequins) and Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge. The hexagons in the sketch inspired me to use a Sizzix die set of 4 by Tim Holtz. I stamped the florals with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copics. The sentiment was layered twice to give is some dimension.

STAMPS: Flowers in Bloom, Script Sentiments (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Memento Tuxedo Black.

PAPER: Glossy 6x6 pad (? source due to loss of cover sheet); X-Press It Blending Card.

DIES: Flowers In Bloom, Script Sentiments (Creative Worship Stamps); Tim Holtz set of 4 corner dies (Sizzix); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Purple twine (American Crafts); Clear sequins (PTI); Copics (Y08, Y04, Y19, YG01, YG03, V09, V15. V17).
