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).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Roses, Blooming Beauties (PTI); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things).

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).

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

 

Good Friday everyone! It's a cloudy day in VA, so I'm getting crafty while the laundry room is getting a work out. I wanted to play with some new stamps from Creative Worship Stamps, so the new Tic Tac Toe Challenge was perfect to go with the diagonal row of insects, gems and free! Two of the torn panels were leftover from an earlier project.

 

 

STAMPS: Entomology Elements (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Vintage Photo, Broken China distress inks (Ranger).

PAPER: Vintage Cream, Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Entomology Elements (Creative Worship Stamps); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Diamond Mesh & Lots of Dots Mini stencils (Creative Worship Stamps); Wood dots.

Freshly Made Sketches

 

 

Here's my take for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week! I die cut four strips from my scrap pile then popped the florals with foam tape. I clear embossed after stamping with black pigment ink. Images were watercolored with distress inks and an aquapainter brush.     

STAMPS: Thank You Florals, Easy Bouquet (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint, Dried Marmalade, Picked Raspberry distress (Ranger); Verafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Watercolor paper (Ranger); Hammermill White; Pink, green, yellow, turquoise scraps.

DIES: Thank You Florals (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Simple Strips (Pretty Pink Posh).

OTHER: Clear embossing powder.

Summertime Blues

 

I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which has the Summertime Blues as a theme and Pinkfresh Studio is their featured sponsor. I am trying to "spread the love" more and use some older stamps in my stash. These stamps, dies, stencils are from Pinkfresh Studio and the background frame is a die set from Papertrey Ink. 

 

I clear embossed the butterfly after stamping with a black pigment ink. It makes it so much easier to stay in the lines when coloring with an aquapainter brush.

STAMPS: Joyful Day, Forever In Our Hearts (Pinkfresh Studio).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, Prize Ribbon, Peacock Feathers distress inks (Ranger).

PAPER: Hammermill White; Watercolor paper (Ranger); Green plaid glitter paper (? source).

DIES: Joyful Day, Forever In Our Hearts (Pinkfresh Studio); Pierced Feature Frames (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Joyful Day stencil collection; Clear embossing powder. 

 

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by! ~Wanda 

Bible Journaling

It's been awhile since I've done any Bible journaling. I did two quick pages this morning featuring verses from John 14 and Isaiah 41.

The first page was stenciled using the Bold Bloom and Diamond Mesh stencils from Creative Worship Stamps. The second page used a paper doily and some fussy cut leaves and sunflower from the Live by Faith papers by Creative Worship Stamps.

Have a blessed day everyone!  ~Wanda
