Love & appreciation - TMS #731

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today is the last day of October, but October is Pastor Appreciation Month, so I made this card for our pastor and his family.  (A pastor's wife and family are a huge part of his ministry and need appreciation, too!) 

My DP is Pebbles Warm & Cozy.  I stamped the background panel of Honey Bee Stamps Barn Wood Background with VersaMark and clear embossing powder and heat embossed.  Then I inked it with TH Antique Linen.  (The barn boards seemed to fit the three strips on the sketch.)  My image is from Doodle Pantry (digi shop long closed) that I had in my stash.  The sentiment was in my "extra" box and, sorry, I didn't bother to search for where it's from. :P 

Here's our sketch...

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today's card is a simple card for a friend...

I used Pebbles Garden Party DP, an old rubber stamp for my image/sentiment, and Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics for the frames.  I inked around the image/sentiment with Pinkfresh Studio Sly Blue.

GORGEOUS poinsettia background card - SCC #153

Hello!  I'm soooooo late this month with my card for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!  I had a very busy time and thought I had all my design team cards ready.  Oops!!  So only 2-1/2 weeks late, here's my card for our "Christmas Flower/Foliage" theme.

The "GORGEOUS" title might seem a little prideful, but it's not my ability, it's the technique as you'll see...

I saw this card (click there or HERE) which led me to this video (click there or HERE) and I fell in love with this technique and had to try it.  I have the world's cheapest foil that tears and is absolutely uesless in the kitchen, but was great here.  I inked it with some Bree Reese alcohol inks that I got at Tuesday Morning before it closed. :(  I embossed it with Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias 3D EF.  My sentiment is Pink & Main Christmas Script Merry Christmas. 

Here's a closeup...  I LOVE this technique!!  

We'd love to have you come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!

Polka dot birthday - C4G #209

 Happy Thursday to you!! It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme for this challenge is "green and cream."

I used AC Basics polka dot paper, Tonic Studios Champagne cardstock, flower from Sizzix/Hero Arts Butterflies #3 stamped with Memento Pear Tart, a bit of baker's twine from my stash, and happy birthday from Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments.  The flower is layered on 2 cuts of 110 lb black cardstock to give it some dimension.

You're sew sweet - TMS #727

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card for this week's challenge...

This was fun to make!  I was checking out Tonic Studios after Melissa has had so many amazing cards from her kits from their shop.  I did get a few things. ;)  One was the Sewing Kit Patchwork Die Set.  I wrapped some very old embroidery floss around the spool and through the needle.  The "sew sweet" sentiment is from Neat & Tangled Crafting is My Jam and the Thank You got separated from its set, so no idea there.  My DP is Bo Bunny Early Bird.  I cut the sentiment with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  The decorative strips are MFT Stitched Ric Rac.
