Poinsettia Petals and Geared Up Garage for Freshly Made Sketches

Happy Monday. Quick post for you today - featuring two cards both made using the sketch at Freshly Made this week. One of the cards uses Stampin' Up! Geared Up Garage and the other Poinsettia Petals.

Birds of a Feather for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #385

Happy Saturday! The design team across at Atlantic Hearts have another fabulous sketch for us to use this week.

We do that at the Paper Players and I know how much time it takes to consistently do that - so cheers to the DT at AHSC :-) Now, on to this week's sketch: It took me a little while... Read more →

Love of Leaves and played along with the sketch at CTS and the inspiration list at Festive Friday: I went with leaves, gold, stitching (and brown) I played around with some Cajun Craze ink and watercolor paper. By layering the levels of water and drying in between, I was able to get a little depth on the water color paper with the ink. I then splattered some gold watercolor ink on top and die-cut...

Prized Peony for Atlantic Hearts Sketches #384 and CTD #609

Happy Friday! So glad it is a long weekend! I didn't get much time in my crafting cave today as I had hoped. However, I was able to play along with two challenges - Atlantic Hearts Sketches #384 and Color Throwdown #609. I used my favorite Stampin' Up! set, Prized Peony for my card and mixed it with some Stampin' Up! Playing with Patterns DSP. Here's the sketch from AHS: and the colors from ColorThrowdown: I began by stamping the main flower from Prized Peony and colored them with my red-violet and green markers. I cut some DSP from the...
