MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge Sketch #363

Image
I created this card for the MFT Sketch Challenge #363.  I used the brand new bundle from Stampin' Up!, Petal Palette Bundle (includes Petals and More dies), pages 23-24 of the 2018 Occasions Catalog.  I will be filming a video showing a few card samples plus all the images and die cuts.  Its really nice.  Originally I did not order this, I thought the lines looked thick, and its the most expensive bundle,  but I'm impressed.  I did order the card pack, Petal Passion Memories & More, so its on its way to me.   The large flower stamp from Petal Palette is amazing!  For this card, I used Calypso Coral and Whisper White for the base and did a gradient color wash.  Then I stamped the dots.  The slanted paper is from a Recollections paper pad called, C'est La Vie, its French and its so adorable.  As of now, its still available for purchase.  I don't know what the pattern is called, but its very French.  I cut a small scallop rectangle and the label (from the die

YouTube Video for these two cards: https://youtu.be/3giaOLZIZWE I created these two cards for the SSC167 Sunday Stamps Color Challenge.  Could have done a little better by adding in some darker gray or red, but I liked the clean look of these.  I have really enjoyed working with the Tags and Trimmings Stamp Set and Trim Your Stockings dies from Stampin' Up! This is the color inspiration for this challenge.

Simon Says Stamp "WINTER HOLIDAYS" Challenge

Image
I created this card for the Simon Says Stamp Card Challenge.  This is the first card I have created for any of the Simon Says Stamp Challenges.  I kept this one simple. I used the Simon Says Stamp "Christmas Sweater" background stamp.  I embossed it in white on to a very light blue cardstock (not sure which brand).  I cut two panels using SSS outside stitched rectangles.  I wrapped 1/2' white cotton ribbon (the Paper Studio) around the bottom 1/3" of the card, and then folded a tiny piece over that ribbon.  While I was making the card, the mail arrived, and I received my Stampin' Up! "Petals and more" thinlets, so I used the label included in that set.  The set was a gift from Janet Wakeland, and I am so thrilled!  The "Let It Snow" greeting is from an AliExpress Stamp set and the mitten stamp also came from AliExpress.  Both of these stamp sets were less than $3!  I stamped the mittens and then fussy cut those and adhered them to some b

Cute Puppy Birthday Card featuring Tempting Turquoise Ink

Image
I created this card from an old sketch, but I love the results!  I found this cute puppy as a free image on Pinterest, so I printed it and colored it with my TouchFive alcohol markers.  I layered patterned papers on white cardstock stock.  The ink I used was Tempting Turquoise from Stampin' Up!.  For the base layer, I brayered with Tempting Turquoise ink and then used an older Sizzix embossing folder with swirls and stars.  The circles are also brayered with Tempting Turquoise ink.  I plan to send this to my neice for her birthday.
