Another Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Idea

 Hi! I am so glad you are here today! I have another idea for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I used the Winter Meadow DSP for the banners. I kept this card very clean and simple. I used a Blending Brush to ink blend several different blue inks onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock and then sprinkled water onto it. After it dried I die cut it with a retired Oval Die. I used the One of a Kind Dies for the snowflake and a few Basic Rhinestones for the sparkle. The sentiment is from a retired stamp set. I hope you are inspired to create with this sketch. I have another idea so keep checking back to see what else I have created. Have a blessed day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #452

 

Time for a Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. I feel like the sketch challenges are always the favorites. I know I always enjoy a fun new idea for a card! For my card I was inspired by the Winter Meadow DSP. I like the color palette on this paper and so I used Garden Green Cardstock for the other banner. For the oval in the sketch I used one of the dies from the Unbounded Love Dies. This die set has many great dies for sentiments. The sentiment I used is from a retired stamp set but I felt like it really fit well.  The bird is from Birds Eye View Stamp Set, I stamped it on Fluid Watercolor Paper with Staz On Black Ink. I used a Water Painter to watercolor the cute little bird. Behind him I used a few sprigs from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I die cut them out of Fluid Watercolor Paper also and smooshed Garden Green Ink on them.

I layered it all on a Crumb Cake Cardstock panel that I used with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. 

I have a few more ideas that I created and I will share them as the week goes on. I hope you will join the fun and I look forward to seeing what creative ideas you come up with for this sketch. 

Fall Leaves

 

More of the smooshed fall leaves in today's card. I am pretty sure that has to be one of my favorite techniques. Never fails and always turns out! I used the Autumn Leaves Dies and the Planted Paradise Stamps. I also added 3 different layers of Country Woods DSP. I decided not to use a sentiment because I just couldn't find the right place to put it. Maybe I will add that when I decide who to send it to. Super easy card and that is cause the DSP really is the star!

Hot Air Balloon

 

Hot Air Balloon Dies for my card today. I die cut everything with Basic White Cardstock and then colored it all with Stampin' Blends. I challenged myself with the color combo. One that I would never use. I used complementary colors, purple and orange, colors that are opposite on the color wheel. I ink blended a light sky in the background and used the mountains from the Forever Forest Dies. I also added a little Stampin' Blends to the mountains to give them a little more depth.

The only stamping I did was on the sentiment which is from the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set. 

Challenge yourself today to use a color combo you would not normally use. It really was a fun! Thanks for stopping by!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge

 

Time for a Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge! This is a color combo I never would have thought of so it was great to try something new! I decided to use the Hearts and Hugs Bundle. I colored these adorable walrus' with Pebbled Path Stampin' Blends, the hearts with Cherry Cobbler and put them on a little ice patch with Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends. I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder on  Balmy Blue Cardstock and used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue Ink to make the lines stand out more. 

I am so excited to see what you create with this color combo! I know it will be fabulous! Have a blessed day!

Winterly Wreath

 

Winterly Tree Tops Bundle is what I used to create this pretty wreath. I kept this card clean and simple. Colored the swags with Stampin' Blends after stamping them with Memento Ink. I used a piece of Country Woods DSP for the background and finished it off with a few Smoky Slate Pearls.

I really like this greeting! It is from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle along with the bird and the foliage. I colored them all with Stampin' Blends. I am really into "snow" on my cards these days. It is created with White Ink spattered with a 

The background is Country Woods DSP. I had previously die cut the large birdhouse out of the DSP and so I backed it with a piece of Basic White Cardstock that I had run through with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. All the birdhouse dies are actually inlaid. I also stacked the top of the birdhouse with 3 layers of Real Red Cardstock to give even more dimension. It looks really neat in person.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Birds Eye View

 

So this card was really created with a few scraps on my desk. I had the Country Birdhouse all die cut and I didn't know what to do with it. I wanted something different and so I saw the Bird's Eye View bird already colored and fussy cut. Then I saw a few One Of A Kind Snowflakes Die cut. I knew that the proportions are all off but I somehow just kinda liked it. So as I hear so many artist saying "it's your art, do what you like" I put it all together. What do you think? 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are having the best day ever! Do art you enjoy! Blessings!

Creating a Scene Card

 

I feel in love with this Yuletide Village Stamp Set when I saw it! I tried to create a scene with masking and pretty happy with how it came out! I used Stampin' Blends so color, a Blending Brush to create the sky and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack for the greeting. I am really excited to create another scene with Masking Paper and the Stamp Set. (this really has inspired me) 

I did also add a little Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush for the snow to glisten and a few Basic Rhinestones for some sparkle. Thanks for stopping by!
