Latte Love for CasethisSketch #386 and JustUsGirls #550

Happy Wednesday! It's hump day and we are coasting down to the weekend :-) I have a card for you tonight made using the sketch across at CasethisSketch and the theme from JustUsGirls. For my card, I pulled out an old favorite from Ellen Hutson called Latte Love. That set had me at catpuccino :-) Here's the sketch: and the theme: I was drawn to the perfectly placed coffee beans around the coffee cup and it reminded me of the sketch at CTS. So, i started with that and then got to work on my coffee cup. I had a... Read more →

Beauty within for Just Add Ink #519

Happy Tuesday. I have another card using the Altenew Beauty Within set for you today. I made this card inspired by the colors across at Just Add Ink. I didn't have the exact colors, but got as close as I could. This card really needed re-photographing as my new lighting set up is showing a little too warm and I can't quite get it right. So, the card is really bright white, and the colors not quite as insipid! I couldn't rephotograph it, as the card is already in the mail! Here are the colors from Just Add Ink: I... Read more →

Whale of a Time Birthday Fishes for AtlanticHearts 381

Happy Saturday! I got a little time in my craft cave today and played along with the fabulous new sketch at AtlanticHearts they really do have great sketches!

I also inked up the fish stamp from the Whale Done stamp set with Night of Navy ink and stamped it multiple times to make it look like a shoal of navy... Read more →

Whisky Business for Color Throwdown 604 and it's blooper night!

Happy Saturday. I have a card I made for one of our besties to share with you tonight. I made it using some vellum, card stock and the fabulous masculine set from Stampin' Up! called Whiskey Business. The colors across at Color Throwdown were just about perfect. I stamped the whisky bottle and glass onto opaque vellum with StazOn. I left it for a few minutes to make sure it was dry and then I colored it from the back with my Copics. Because the vellum is opaque, it took a slightly colder color than I had anticipated, so I... Read more →

Sailing Home for Atlantic Hearts Challenge # 378

Happy Sunday - again :-) I was in a clean and simple frame of mind in my craft cave yesterday. Usually when I play along with the Atlantic Hearts challenges I bring out my DSP, but for this one I decided to go really CAS. I needed a masculine birthday card and pulled out one of my favorite masculine sets - Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! I stamped and colored the lighthouse and then die-cut it. I die-cut a rectangle and used my blending brush with Pool Party ink for the background and stamped some of the seagulls in Smoky... Read more →
