CC&S #276

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by today. I'm sharing my card for this week's sketch challenge. I wanted a more interesting background for this sketch. I used broken china and peacock feather oxide inks over glossy paper, then some distress glaze , and buffed with a dry cloth. I added a simple birthday sentiment and that was it.    I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Thanks a ton

Hello! It's been a very busy weekend here, my oldest got his driving permit, errands, laundry that never ends, and got together with a longtime friend. I finally got a chance to play along with this months challenge at CAS watercolor , also playing along with the Create along with us challenge at Papertrey Ink . I love all things ocean so this challenge really spoke to me. The whale and sentiment are from PTI , I used both distress ink and distress oxide ink for the background. I hope to make 2 more for this challenge before it ends as I have a few more ideas I'd like to try. Thanks for stopping by today

Welcome back ! I'm sharing this week's color challenge card . Wei from our DT choose colors that work perfectly for Flowers!!!! Thanks Wei. I've had this floral stamp ( modern peonies by Wplus9 ) on my desk waiting for the right color challenge. These colors and this stamp seemed like the perfect match. I'll be interested to see who else makes floral cards . Thanks for stopping by.

Simply Create too #139

Hello! Welcome back for another fun challenge at Simply Create Too. This month the theme is "for a male" . Now I struggle with cards for men badly. I lean towards florals or butterflies, so if I can't use those elements I'm lost. So I'm really looking forward to all the entries this months, I know I'll find plenty of inspiration. Thanks for stopping by today.

The Holly and the Ivy #30

Welcome back! Today I'm sharing my card for the Holly and the Ivy Christmas challenge . I like to make a variety of different cards for Christmas, some fun, some religious, some classic Christmas. This covers all my card recipients. This fun card was made using the Neat and Tangled's Fa La la Llama stamp and die set. I made several of this card last Christmas for a craft show I participated in and they sold out quickly. I plan to make a few more of this card, in slightly different colors. Thanks for stopping in today, hope you will play along with us.. the challenge is "anything goes".

Double #274

Welcome back! Today I'm sharing my card for our double challenge at CC&S. I feel like this is missing something. But then again it is a clean and simple challenge. Does anyone else struggle with "man " cards? I have an awful time with them. You can't put a flower on them... so that is a struggle for me. I had all weekend to come up with something, but I spent most of it doing yard work. I have then sunburn to prove it to. For this card I used a PTI die, alcohol inked it, then added additional color to the letters . Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #273

Hello! I'm back with a card to share for this week's sketch challenge at CC&S. I really struggled with this one, I've been doing a lot of florals lately and just couldn't figure a way to make this a floral. So I went with the next best thing alcohol inks! I love them! I may or may not have all of the colors available. I added a few stars for interest. Thanks for stopping by today, now off to check out what everyone else made.
