Freshly Made Sketches

There's a great new layout by Jen T. for the new Freshly Made Sketches challenge! I cranked out yet another angel card from the newly released Build-An-Angel die set from Papertrey Ink. I sponged Pale Peony ink on the angel edges and layered gold glitter card stock behind the skirt and vellum behind the wings.

It doesn't show up in the photo, but there is a subtle shimmer to the oval layer after spraying it with Sheer Shimmer "Sparkle" craft spray.

STAMPS: Angelic Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Pale Peony (PTI); Versamark.

PAPER: Plaid Patterns Merry & Bright 6x6" pack (My Favorite Things); Stamper's Select White (PTI); Gold glitter paper; Metallic gold paper (Lawn Fawn).

DIES: Build-An-Angel die set, Love to Layer: Ovals (PTI); Stitched Polka Dot Card Front (Concord & 9th); Simple Strips (Pretty Pink Posh); Merry Greetings Builder dies (Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th).

OTHER: Queen's Gold embossing powder (Ranger); Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray "Sparkle" (Imagine).

Crossing my fingers we get some rain today! After the monsoon over a month ago, we've been dry ever since except for a dozen sprinkles on Sunday. Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting!  ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #818

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge with Lynn hosting this week. Our colors are orange, moss green and cranberry. I thought the stencils and dies from Kristina Werner's collection for Concord & 9th would work well with these colors.

STAMPS: Merry Greetings Builder Stamps (Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th).

INK: Orange Zest, Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado (Papertrey Ink); Mulberry Blush (Pinkfresh Studio).

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI); Metallic Gold.

Colorful Options

 

This is my first time playing along with the Colorful Options challenge! We are to play with red so it was a perfect way to use some new stamps/dies/stencils from Kristina Werner + Concord & 9th. I cased one of Kristina's release day card pretty directly, so need to give her the credit for the layout.

I started by stenciling the small red rectangle using Pure Poppy ink over Pure Poppy card stock.The striped strip was stamped with Pinefeather ink over Vintage Jadeite paper. The berries and leaves were color blended then inlaid onto the outline frame die of the sprig. A touch of silver metallic was added with the die cut bow.

STAMPS: Merry Greetings Builder (Kristina Werner + Concord & 9th). 

INK: Pure Poppy, Pinefeather, Scarlet Jewel (Papertrey Ink); Versamark.

PAPER: Classic Kraft, Pure Poppy, Vintage Jadeite, Stampers Select White (PTI); Metallic Silver.

DIES: Merry Greetings Builder, Winter Berries Stem Layering, Gift Bows (Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th).

OTHER: Berries & Leaves (Kristina Werner + Concord & 9th).
