Hopping Away

For the Inspired By Challenge! I loved the colors and all of the spring beauty found in this tulip bouquet...

My card hopped away on me a little bit! I kind of added ALL of the sweet spring things from The Greetery...it’s what “hoppens” sometimes! 😂

I used “Bunny Hop Wreath,” “Boxwood Heart,” “Put a Bow On It,” “Square Dance” stencils, “BotaniCuts Carrot,” and “BotaniCuts Wildflower Mix!” So much fun to mix and match The Greetery products because they are all so sweet! Thanks for “hopping” by! 🐰💕

A Little Rusty Sketch

Hello 2021! My first blog post since October 31...so it’s  time to welcome the new year and join in the first Color Throwdown  challenge...rust, brown, and cream!

I decided to try something a little different and make a floral card with these colors!

I used the Stamp Market’s gorgeous “Petal Perfection”  set with a sentiment from “Blossom Party.” The background is made with the Stamp Market’s “Plaid” stencil inked over an Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card background called “Screen.” So much fun! Thank you for stopping by!

Pine Throwdown

This week at the Color Throwdown are colors by Lori that are Trending in a Christmas direction...red, green, kraft, and chartreuse!

I chose a flurry of products from The Greetery for my card...

I used the “Snowflake Soirée” stencils for the background, sponged in Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink and dotted with colorful Nuvo Drops.

Added an amazing “Wood Slice” die cut to the center, decorated with a sentiment, florals, and greenery from “Pine Blossom.”  So festive!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

S’mores Sketch

When I saw Kim’s sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches I knew exactly what I could do with those little rectangles....!

My “S’mores Holiday” set from The Greetery arrived just in time!

I  made the background with The Greetery’s “Square Dance” stencils using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in “Aged Mahogany” and “Spun Sugar.” This may be my favorite combination yet!

Betsy Veldman thinks of everything when creating her products at The Greetery! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Boo!

Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge this week....

I made a little scene with lots of different companies’ products!

The Greetery’s “Pinwheel Party, the “B” from The Stamp Market’s “HBD” die, a vellum ghost made with assorted A Muse Studio “vintage” dies, and miscellaneous star die cuts!

I impressed the background with Papertrey Ink’s “Spider Web Trio” dies, then glittered them with Wink of Stella pen. Also cut a few small vellum webs. Impressed the “eek” die from A Muse Studio. Inked each impression with Hero Arts white ink. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by...Fall Colors

I made it to the Inspired By Challenge this week! This week’s photo is about “fall colors.”

I used Papertrey Ink’s “ Enclosed: Apple“ dies and “Kindness Counts” sentiment set, with Ink to Paper’s “Brushed Plaid” background, and Hero Arts “Chalkboard” background...

I heat embossed the plaid with fine detail white powder, then sponged or brushed Distress Oxide Inks in Fine Linen, Tea Dye, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, and Pine Needles. I cut the back piece with the big solid apple die in the set and cut the frame in white (and cut off the “thanks” sentiment). So fun for fall!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Falling Leaves Sketch

This week at Freshly Made Sketches is a lovely clean and simple design by Jacquie!

I used The Greetery’s “BotaniCuts Mighty Oak” dies and a sentiment from “Written in Ribbons” for my card...

I originally started this card for the “Inspired By” Challenge when I saw this picture for “Playful Patterns,” but didn’t get finished in time!

I used all of the leaves that I had shaded with Distress Oxide Inks for the sketch instead!

It’s so relaxing, and so much fun, to take out inks and just sponge and shade these leaves to your heart’s content! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
