Morning by morning

 Good morning!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

 I created two cards using this week's sketch, both using the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Morning by Morning and Scripted.

I don't know about you but usually I have a difficult time creating tilted panel cards, even photographing these cards I wanted to tilt my head and straighten them out.  Both of these cards have white card bases, have a "tilted" panel of summer sun or raspberry fizz with a strip of the opposite running vertical and they both have a watercolored panel.  For the top card I used picked raspberry distress in for watercoloring and for the bottom, wild honey.  I die cut and stamped the morning glories in raspberry fizz, summer sun and new leaf and popped the die cut pieces up using foam tape. The final touches after stamping my sentiment were to add a few sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Think happy thoughts :)

Giving Thanks

 Hello, friends!  Happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing a card that I created using the new Papertrey Ink stamp sets Morning by Morning and Scripted.  As soon as I saw this set, it reminded me of the morning glories growing in my yard, I actually have morning glories in the colors I used on my card today but the pink within the flowers is more muted.  It's fun to take inspiration from nature especially when it's in your own backyard.

 For my card I started out with a white card base, then added a rich razzleberry panel which I tore along one edge.  Then I used a piece of watercolor paper and some spun sugar distress ink to add a soft watercolor look to my background.  Once that was dry I stamped my sentiment and added my die cut and stamped flowers popping a few of them up with foam tape and trimming a few of them down to arrange them on my card.

Have a wonderful day!

I Wheelie Like You

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by!  It's Sunday and you know what that means, it's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Wheelie Like You with the coordinating die to create a friend card.  I also used the colors from this week's Colour Queen Challenge #302. I started my card out with a white square card base, then added a so saffron panel that I stamped along the bottom using the Lawn Fawn stamp set Argyle Backdrops and the friend sentiment from Critters at the Dog Park.  Next I added my banner and popped up a square piece of tropical teal cardstock and added my stamped and die cut circle.  I used Copic markers to color my die cut/stamped images (that hamster is so darn cute) and used foam tape to pop those us too and after adding a button with bakers twine my card was complete.

Have a great day!

Best Fishes!

Good morning!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

For my card, I flipped the sketch and used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Fintastic Friends to create a birthday card.  I started out with a white card base, then added a royal velvet panel which I stamped the bottom portion using the same fish in the aquarium.  Then I added a white 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" panel taping my orange banner underneath and adding my raspberry fizz sentiment banner across the bottom.  The main focus is the aquarium which I colored using Copic markers adding my die cut and colored fish with party hats from the Lawn Fawn stamp set Year Four and using some wink of stella glitter pen on the fish, party hats and seaweed.  I also used some white gel pen lines on the aquarium to indicate reflection on the glass.  After that I used foam tape to pop the whole die cut aquarium up.

 In the photo below you can see some of the glitter that was added.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us and play along with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch.
