Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge

 

Welcome back to another fun color challenge! Hand Stamped Sentiments has a color challenge many of us may be using these days if you are creating Christmas cards. I used the large and beautiful Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder with watercolor paper and then used ink refills and water painter to add my color. I did a quick and loose watercoloring. After it had all dried I spattered the beige and shaded spruce ink. 

The greeting is a retired set of premade greetings. I love to purchase those for when I need a quick sentiment for a card. I look forward to seeing what you are creating this holiday season! Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!

My card for today was inspired by the current inspiration at Hand Stamped Sentiments blog. I love the Branching Out Dies and combined them again with a retired DSP. I die cut the branches and berries and used blending brushes to add a little more color. I also added a light blend of color to the edges of the plaid paper. I also used the Everyday Arches to place the images on. I could use those dies on everything!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a blessed day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #477

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge is all about the holidays! So I couldn't resist creating a holly jolly Notes & Totes filled with Branching Out Dies. I love this festive bag and I love how it looks on a frame created with the Everyday Arches Dies. The designer series paper that I used to create the bag is retired but the fun is you can use any paper you have in your stash!  

I hope you are inspired to create from these beautiful images today! I look forward to seeing what you share! Have a wonderful week!

Practice!

 

All the amazing watercolor artist that I follow online always say how important it is to practice! So today I used this retired stamp set and pulled out my water painter and a few ink refills. I know I need so much more practice and trying see how the ink and water flow was a challenge. I really want to work on getting more dimension in my watercoloring. I feel like it looks a little flat. So I will keep trying! What are you working on improving today? 

Thank you for letting me share my work with you! Have a blessed day!

Feel like coloring?

 

Today I felt like coloring! Do you ever get that feeling? I had already stamped this retried set with Memento Ink and so I pulled out my Stampin' Blends and enjoyed time coloring. I used one of the greetings from a retired set of preprinted sentiments. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Sometimes it is nice to have a few kits or Paper Pumpkin around when you don't feel very creative yet you want to craft. Order a few of the adorable kits today!

Amber Autumn Bundle

 

As fall quickly comes to an end I wanted to share another card I created with the Amber Autumn Bundle. I also included Branching Out Dies. I hope you enjoy and that you are inspired to create something fun today!

Coffee!

 

Who remembers this adorable designer series paper? I couldn't resist creating this card inspired by the sketch at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! I love coffee and was so sad to see this paper and stamp bundle retire. It is one that I will always keep. What bundles, dies or stamps will you never get rid of?

Hope you join the fun and create with retired items or have some new items you want to give this sketch a try and share your card over at Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge!

Sweet Animals

 

I forgot how adorable this designer series paper is until I was cleaning out the day and I had to use it! Do you have paper that you filed away, pull it out and join the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. This card came together so quickly, and I just adore it and the colors are so fun for a holiday card. 

Hope you are inspired to join along!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #476

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge sketch is so creative! In the next couple days I will share a few ideas with retired papers and items. I have been cleaning out retired papers and found so many papers that I love and decided to play with them. I did use a few current items for my cards. I hope you enjoy and it inspires you to go through your retired stash and create! 

Lord Bless You!

 

Just a quick little card I created today to Bless you on a Friday! Have a great day! 

(sorry we have had a lot of cloudy days and trying to get a good picture was a struggle)
