Hey Everyone

It’s time for our latest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Kim Singdahlsen.

I had yet to ink up the Poised Peony Stamp Set until this card. I gave my flowers colour with the Peach Pie Blends as well as the dark Pumpkin Pie Blend in the crease lines of the petals.

I added some diecut leaves from the Golden Greenery Dies to add a fullness to the card. The papers I’ve added to the card are from the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Design Series Paper pack. Even though these papers and dies are made for Christmas, I like to use them in non traditional ways.

The team have created awesome cards for this challenge. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I’ve chosen 3 of the challenge colours. I was going to go with all 6, but got too lazy to think about how to incorporate all 6.

The stamp set I’ve used for my card is called the Leaves Collection Stamp Set. There is one large stamp in this set that has a combination of different leaves of varied sizes. I stamped up the leaves in Gorgeous Grape Ink and then stamped a second time with Highland Heather Ink.

The 3rd colour I chose was Misty Moonlight. I used this colour for the sentiment.

The team have created awesome inspiration for you. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

We have a new challenge for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented Linda Callahan.

Here/s her fab sketch:

Magnolia Mood Stamp Set was my set of choice for Linda’s sketch. Blackberry Bliss Ink is the perfect choice when colouring these blooms. I gave them a light watercolour and coloured the leaves with my blends.

I added a piece of pretty designer series paper from the Country Lace DSP pack.

Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is for you to:

I’ve created a card that has embossing and a white background. I guess you could also say blending as I have used my blends to colour the flowers from the Flowers of Beauty Stamp Set.

I’ve taken my Stylish Shapes Dies and created some banners, a circle as well as a square frame. I then placed my flowers amongst the diecuts.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome cards that will inspire you. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Hey everyone

Ready for a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches?

This week our sketch hostess is the uber talented Jen Mitchell. Jen’s creations are just awesome with clean lines and perfect choice of colours.

I may’ve slightly gotten my card a tad wrong as I missed adding the the strip across my card – altho I could maybe say there is almost a row of fussy cut grass that I’ve added?

As soon as i saw the wavy line on the sketch, i knew i wanted to get out my Beach Day Stamp Set and Dies. They have a wavy edgelit die that sorta created a line like Jen’s sketch. I then set about creating the images to fit the space on the card.

I stamped surfboards and colours them all with my blends. I then diecut palm trees and arranged all my images until i was happy with the result.

The team have created awesome projects that will inspire you. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink was to create a card using the following sketch:

I decided to use my circle dies and cut out the half circle space. I then placed a piece of woodgrain DSP behind it. I then added some background stamping and ink flicking to age the cardstock. I then created some leaves by adding Old Olive Ink to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and took an Aqua Painter to add ink. Once the paper was dry, I then took the Autumn Leaves Dies and cut out three leaves. I wanted to add more definition to the leaves, so I add some Cajun Craze Ink highlights and flicked some ink over them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

The newest sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by the wonderfully talented Jen Timko – make sure you head over to her blog and see her gorgeous creations.

I couldn’t go past the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set to fill the space on my card. I added a circle diecut made with the Stylish Shapes Dies under the flowers and arranged them as though they were falling down the card.

I added a strip of pretty DSP from the Unbounded Beauty DSP pack and stamped a sentiment from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. You can never have too many birthday cards in your stash.

As always, the team have created stunning projects. Make sure you check them out here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyuone

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Amy O’Neill.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I decided I needed another wedding card for my stash, so Amy’s sketch was just what I needed to create this.

The Stippled Rose Stamp Set with its gorgeous roses are my go-to for elegant florals and have coloured them with Wild Wheat Blends. Wild Wheat Ink has yellow-y gold tones and I have added touches of Basic Beige DSP and cardstock.

As always, I’ve embellished with ribbon and bling for those extra elegant touches.

The team have created awesome inspiration. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches to see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

This weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by me. Take a look at the sketch I’ve created:

The Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and Dies was used on my card. I started by watercolouring Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight Ink on Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. I then cut out the small and large leaves with dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies. Once the leaves dried, I added more colour in places to get the final look I went with. I then screwed the leaves up in my hand to add dimension and a realness to them. I flicked Dark Smoky Slate Ink over the leaves to create the leaves you see here.

I added some woodgrain DSP from the Country Lace DSP pack as I liked the woodgrain as a background for the leaves.

The team have created wonderful cards. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and sew what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

The card I’m sharing today is for the latest challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is to:

I haven’t used the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set enough – so I got it out and gave it a workout for this challenge.

I stamped up the balloons in a combo of Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. After stamping them, I fussy cut them out layered them on a circle diecut. The circle diecut has been placed over a piece of DSP from the Unbounded Beauty DSP pack.

I then stamped up clouds from the Adventurous Sky Stamp Set in Summer Splash Ink and took a Blender Pen and moved some of the ink around to give them shading. The clouds were fussy cut out and trimmed to fit around the balloons.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome cards. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.
