Hi friends...welcome to my blog post for Inspire. Create. #059 Sketch Challenge: My boss just had surgery and I wanted to make him a card. He likes punny cards and I thought this Art Impressions Doggy Kisses set was perfect. I started by stamping all the images with Scrapbook.com's Black Hybrid Ink on Bristol Smooth card stock. I used Zigs Clean Color Real Brush markers to water color all the images. In order to cut them all out at once, I used my Brother Scan 'n Cut. Once you g...

One more quick submittal for Waffle Flower's Anything Goes Challenge in their Facebook Fan Group. I made a card in the fun new size, a #10 card size. I am going to use just one postage stamp since it is a standard size. This card was so much fun to make! I used Waffle Flowers' Happy Day Combo set of stamps and dies for all the images. They were stamped on Bristol Smooth Paper with Scrapbook.com's Hybrid Black Ink and watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The...

Happy Holidays friends! Just a quick post for my submittal to Waffle Flower's Facebook Fan Group for Dec. 2019 "Anything Goes"! I have been asked by a local bridal shop to make some wedding/engagement cards for their shop. We plan to meet after Christmas where I'll have samples to show. The little set from Waffle Flower is so darling. A Clean and Simple design was all it needed. I tried a new paper for the watercolored images. It is Vicki Boutin's American Crafts Mixed media paper ca...

Welcome friends to my blog post for Freshly Made Sketches #416: I wanted to make a card that wasn't Christmas! Time for a change. I have this cute set from Pink and Main with hummingbirds.

The images on the card were stamped on Bristol Smooth card stock with Scrapbook.com's Hybrid Black Ink. The coloring was done with my Zig markers. I can ea...

Last, but not least, added those beautiful Pretty Pink Posh Sparking Clear embellishments using Gina K Connect glue. Dries clear and hold perfectly!
Welcome to my blog post for Time Out Challenges #150: How fun is this stamp set? Art Impressions has such fun, playful images and this one is no exception. I feel it is really Merry & Cheerful! I have a friend who's job was (she's retired now) to work with insects and bees and I learned so much from her about the plight of the bees. When I saw this set, I thought it was perfect for a Christmas Card for her! I used my usual: Bristol Smooth Card stock, Scrapbook.com Hybrid Black Ink...

Hi friends! Still crafting for Christmas? I still am and will be to the last minute. Always one more thing to do... But today I am submitting a card for 2 challenges, one sketch and one color: You've seen me participate in these 2 challenges several times. I really enjoy both of them. If you feel yourself stuck in a rut and you've lost your mojo, give a challenge a try. There are many of them, all different styles, colors and mediums. You can really find one to suite your style....
