A fun new sketch challenge is at hand at As You See It!

I started with cutting some pattern papers and backing them with island indigo cardstock.  I placed the papers according to the sketch.

Then I stamped my sentiment and backed it with a bit of pattern paper.  I adhered it to the paper and added a bit of silver ribbon and a button.

Finally a bit of bling and island indigo dots.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s Anything Goes!

I started by stamping a couple of berry images in two shades of pink and green.

Then I added the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti The Lord’s Strength stamp set from 2016.  I die cut and then layered over another diecut circle for a bit of interest.

I added a few enamel dots and was done!

Today I am playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge and the Fab Friday color challenge.

I stamped four leaves in peekaboo peach, mint macaron, calypso coral and so saffron. Using the stitched ovals from SU!, I die cut an oval and stamped the sentiment.  Then I backed the oval with a scalloped oval out of calypso coral.

I added some pearls and dots and was done.

Happy Wednesday! I have a trio of CAS cards for the rest of the week.

This card started with the sentiment. I think it is absolutely beautiful so I wanted to keep the other images simple.

I used my Clearly Besotted With Love stamp set for the tulip and vase. Then I ran the card thru the linen impression plate.

So I actually had time to play along with the Paper Players again this week! Yay! It was a fun sketch challenge and when I saw it, I thought stencil!

I dug thru my stencils for a poinsettia stencil and using my embossing paste, created a panel on a piece of cherry cobbler.

Then I die cut a stitched circle, added a sentiment and a button and some twine. I love the contrast of the paste on the red!

Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started by die cutting pattern paper with my mini scallop stitched square. I also die cut a piece of white cardstock and then added the sentiment.

I die cut the fishtail flag, added some twine, and layered everything according to the sketch.

A huge thank you to Hannelie and the crew at Paper Players for choosing THIS card as A Cut Above! I was thrilled that my CAS card made the cut!

So the starry night challenge was next and we were supposed to do some ink blending and watercoloring. As I didn’t have the heart to do the whole background, I opted to do just a small portion and love how it turned out.

I watercolored with some of the PTI inks and then added in some trees in the left corner. I added some drops of water and then dried the paper.

I die cut Lord three times and adhered together before placing on the card over some gold thread. I added a few sequins and the rest of the sentiment and was done!

Next – there’s gold in them in thar hills!

I whipped up this fun card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge!

I added some pattern paper to a so saffron card base and then added a bit of black between the two pieces.

I stamped and die cut the sentiment and then adhered to the base.

Hello Wednesday! I have a super clean and simple card that I made for the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. I ended up making two versions and you will see both!

I stamped this lovely sentiment that I purchased from Verve stamps a while ago. I was saving it for the right card. Then I added a simple die cut red bird to the sentiment. I love the impact the bird makes.

Then I went a bit crazy and sprayed some black ink on the background. I like both versions but the stark white appeals to me a bit more than the other. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today! I won’t be posting Thursday as I will have two posts on Friday. See you then!

Supplies: CS: PTI white. SU! cherry cobbler. Stamps: Verve hope perches. Dies: Memory box resting birds. PTI linen impression plate.

It’s the second week of the Retro Rubber Color Challenge to use red, white and blue. So I thought I would combine the color challenge with the sketch challenge at Paper Players.

I die cut this pinking edge square with some nautical pattern paper to get my red, white and blue in. Then I stamped the sentiment and used a pierced oval to die cut and also die cut a real red fishtail.

I put everything together per the sketch and then decided the sentiment should sit jauntily to the right a bit. LOL! I added a bit of bling and was done.
