CTD #580

htHello! I've finally had a bit of time to craft today. I made lots and lots of cards. I've been in a rut lately so it felt good to be creative today. This is for this week's color challenge at color throwdown. I love this week's colors and have been wanting to play along, but only now found the time to sit down and create something. I used the peony stencil from SSS, gina k inks and some nuvo drops for the centers of the flowers. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with another Christmas card to share for our "anything goes " challenge. I loved this die from the greetery the moment I saw it. I had to wait a bit to get it as it sold out right away. I'm not sure I will mass produce this one as it has lots of pieces that fit together.  It's been a very stressful week here for me, lots of unexpected stuff came up. 1) major plumbing issues, had to have new water line installed from house to city tie in(very very expensive) , 2) during installation plumbers hit our gas line due to it being improperly marked my gas company, 3) my teenager who was licensed 13 days had an accident in his car (he just bought himself) , he was not injured but still very stressful. So if anyone is looking for me I'll be hiding in my craft room. See you soon.

Hello! I'm back with a sketch challenge card this time.  Still plugging away on my Valentine cards, how about you guys? I wanted to create a sketch that could be for something other than just Valentine cards, you could use a large and small floral image in place of the hearts. Thank you for playing along with us at CC&S.

Good Morning! I've been wanting to play along with this color challenge all week, but life got in the way. I finally found a few minutes of time to myself and came up with this . The floral stamp is from the greetery , I just love this stamp. I my masking stencil (TE) for the background , inks are Gina K and sentiment is from SSS. I'm happy with how it turned out. Sometimes using no traditional colors for flowers or leaves really is fun. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week.

Hello! I'm hosting the challenges this month over at CAS Colours and Sketches. With the Valentine's day holiday fast approaching , I wanted to use colors that lend to Valentine's cards easily. I don't give my hubby a Valentine, but I do sell plenty at work. The dies used for this card are: heart; Altenew, love ; Memory box, hearts ; SSS and the sentiment is Taylored expressions. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! Today I am sharing this fun card made with Concord and 9th's mistletoe messages dies and the sentiment is from the sentiment packs at SSS. I die cut the leaves using 2 colors of green and then used a couple markers for shading to add some interest to the leaves. I picked up lots of Christmas stamps and die sets on black friday , but didn't get around to using them as I was really sick most of December... no worries I have plenty of time to use them now and be ahead of things for next Christmas. I hope you all will play along with us as our challenge is always an anything goes challenge.

Hello! I can't believe January is almost over, where did the month go? Anyone else fell like the month just flew by?  So here is my card for this week's sketch challenge. The stamps are all MFT , I colored them using some Arteza markers (cheaper the copic). I've been working at better organizing my craft space lately, trying to purge the things I don't use any longer and move the things I use all the time closer to my table. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope you will play along with us .
