There is so much potential for CAS(E) This Sketch #218: Here is what I came up with: I stamped a Jillibean Soup sentiment on some ribbon with StazOn and it worked like a charm. I love that ink! I felt like making that middle bar with something other than some paper and thought that the…

Stamp Ink Paper #95 – sketch
Check out this offset sketch for Stamp Ink Paper #95: Here is my take on the sketch: It’s a pink and feminine Mother’s Day card embellished more than my cards usually are. I am trying to make sure I use what I have (so I can buy some new stuff!). I’ve got two different pink…
CAS(E) This Sketch #217
It’s a springy sketch for CAS(E) This Sketch #217: Here is my card: I liked the idea of grass, but had to improvise. I flipped a bunting stencil upside down and used green inks in increasingly dark shades to kind of imitate small hills in a field. Then I stamped, cut out and coloured the…
CAS(E) This Sketch #216
Gotta love the stripes for the CAS(E) This Sketch #216 sketch: I needed another birthday card for a no-frills kinda guy and I thought this sketch worked really well for that. I stenciled the stripes on some green paper with MementoLuxe Nautical Blue ink. I built up the sentiment with a couple of die cuts,…
Fusion – Easter
The Fusion card challenge theme is Easter, but I chose to go with just the sketch… …and I flipped it horizontally: I needed a birthday card, and went for it. I used a We R Memory Keepers journaling card from a big set of 4×6 and 3×4 cards. I love the set and wish I…
Freshly Made Sketches #282
I absolutely love Cecile’s sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #282: How adorable is that!? Once again, I used the opportunity to make a Mother’s Day card: I know it’s a holiday of flowers, but moms are made of all sorts of women and not all women like flowers or pink. Here I went with stars,…
CAS(E) This Sketch #215
Here is the super cute sketch for CAS(E) This Sketch #215: Here is what I came up with: I flipped the main image upside down because I was inspired by the idea of falling leaves. I had some fabric leaves and the natural colour plays off the kraft card stock. The stamp is from a…
Freshly Made Sketches #279 – floral birthday card
What a neat sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #279: Horizontal layout!!! <3<3<3 Here is my card: I love those vibrant (but somehow kind of pastel) colours of those flowers with the grey. This was my second attempt at this sketch. The first one ended in a glitter spray ink disaster… This one is better, anyway…
CAS(E) This Sketch #212
Here is the current sketch over at CAS(E) This Sketch: Here is what I came up with: Though this card is embellished more than I usually embellish, I don’t think it’s too much. The colour of the pearls play off both the grey of the background panel and the ivory of the patterned paper and…
Fusion – scrambled letters
I am always excited to participate in the Fusion card challenge. This one is no exception: Here is my card: I used the elements of the letters, the colours and the touch of wood. The horizontal stripes became vertical because that was the only striped embossing folder I had 🙂 I love the way the…
CAS(E) This Sketch #211
Here is this week’s sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch: I am not a floral person, but I still loved the look of the reaching stems topped with flowers. So… Balloons! I used complimentary orange and blue, and kept the ink simple with just black. The die cut frame is inlaid back in the paper around…
Freshly Made Sketches #277
Here is the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #277: I for some reason like things grouped to the left, so I loved this sketch 🙂 Here is what I made: I can never get enough hexagons/honeycomb. Here I have embossed my card and used two different papers with a honeycomb pattern. I somehow got…
