Freshly Made Sketches #251

Better late than never! I am jumping in at the last moment for Freshly Made Sketches #51.

My card uses a cute set from Lawn Fawn. For some reason, I kept thinking of kraft and red color combo today. Here is what I came up with!

I stamped the skunk in brown ink and then colored with colored pencil. I love how color pops on the kraft paper. 

Here is the sketch:

Tag You're It Challenge 54 - Part 2

Here is my second entry for the Tag You're it Challenge 54.

My second tag uses the same ink and technique. This time I used a resist technique as well. I stamped the flower (Unity Stamps) in white ink and then embossed with clear powder. Then I distressed the tag with Salty Ocean distress ink and spritzed with water. 

Here is the inspiration tag:

Tag You're it Challenge #53

Welcome to my sadly neglected blog! I have been away for a few weeks due to family commitments. Had a little time myself today so I thought I'd enter the Tag You're it Challenge. This weeks inspiration tag is so pretty! Here it is:

So many things to take as inspiration! 

Here is my tag:

I was inspired to make a double, long and skinny embossed tag. The embossing folder is from SU!, birds are a die from Paper Smooches, the tag die is from My Favorite Things - Fishtail Flags, the vine is a Memory Box die. Plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn. Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I think I used all my favorite companies on this one tag. lol

Thanks for visiting today. Hope you will leave a comment! See you next time!

Tag You're it Challenge #51

I'm back with my tag entry for Tag You're it Challenge #51.  I had a blast being the guest designer for the last challenge!! Here is the beautiful inspiration tag this time:

Pretty tag! I took inspiration from this tag to use a watercolor background, a flower and words on my tag.

Here is my tag:

I dug out my rolled rose die from My Favorite things and made some rolled roses. For the background I did a splatter technique using Distress inks and a little bit of gold paint. 

The word stamp is from Penny Black.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope to see you back here again!

Freshly Made Sketches # 244

Hello! Today I am playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #244.  Another nice sketch this week!

It was fun to pull out my oval dies for this card! I use a stamp and die set from Paper Smooches called Surf and Turf.

The embossing folder I used is from Stamping Up. I did speckled the oval with Distress ink in faded denim and added a splash of gold. A little glossy accents and clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shine.

Thanks for visiting today!

See you soon.

Freshly Made Sketches #243

Hello and happy July! Summer is just flying by us! I am happy to have a few days off for the holiday. Hoping to catch up on some stamping. My card today is for Freshly Made Sketches #243. Super nice sketch this week - so many possibilities!

For my card I used a Lawn Fawn set. Thought it was a good one to use for a summery card!

The pretty plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn as well. I colored the scoop with wink of stella markers and then added a few sequins for sparkle.

I used a bit of Hero Arts Ombre ink to create the shadow around the circle.
Thanks for dropping by today! Have a fabulous day!

Until next time - Barb
