Freshly Made sketches.....Amazing

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

A really great sketch for a large image like the one in the Stampin Up Indescribable Gift, I love this flower image, (I wish SU had more images for coloring like this).

I stamped the flower image with black stazon onto some PTI white card stock and colored with my water brush and ink pads.

I used Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral, and the Early Espresso for the stem.

I shaded around the image with Soft Sky ink. I used my white gel pen to dot the inside and my journaling pen for the outside dots.

The flower panel is matted with Calypso Coral card stock and glued to the white base.

The sentiment is from the Painted Petal stamp set and is stamped with Calypso Coral ink.

I hand cut the end and curled it. I added it to the base using some glue and foam tape under the curl to keep it up.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Water Colored Happy Easter

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Yesterday I was not feeling the best and I went into my bedroom to lay down for a bit but I was restless and it did not last long. I was up and at my craft desk fairly quickly and decided I would color.

I was inspired by Rita Wright and the pics she has been posting on Instagram to pull out this set. It is the Stampin Up Indescribable Gift set. I love this flower and decided I would try and watercolor with my distress inks.

I stamped the image with Black Stazon onto some water color paper and begin to color.

I squished some Picked Raspberry ink onto an acrylic block and used my water brush to color.

I used Mowed Lawn for the leaves and for the branch I used some Vintage Photo.

I used my heat gun to dry the flower before starting the background.

I used Salty Ocean and Picked Raspberry for the Background.

I stamped the sentiment with Black Memento ink and added a few sequins to finish it up.

I trimmed the piece down a bit and added it to my white card base.

I am linking this card to a couple of challenges one is the CASology Spring Challenge

and

The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe

I used the bottom line, Flowers, any shade of Pink and Polka Dots, that is if you can count my dots around my flower as polka dots. :)

and Sparkle and Shine challenge

Thanks for stopping by today!

FMS......Birthday Wishes

Hello Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Freshly Made Sketch.

I love this sketch and I thought I would use another new set from Stampin Up called Indescribable Gift.

I decided I would use the flower as part of the elements in the sketch.

I stamped the flower a few times onto some white card stock using Black Stazon ink.

I colored using my water brush and ink pads, I used Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi ink along with just a bit of Chocolate Chip.

The base of my card is white card stock and then I used another piece of white and cut out a circle and then embossed with my dot EF.

I added one of the stamped and colored flower behind the circle cutout, centering it to get the largest flowers where I wanted them.

I then fussy cut out all the flowers and leaf sections again to add to the main image using dimensionals. I brought the buds and leaves out over the top of the circle.

I cut my scallop edges using one of the dies in the Adorning Edges and added them to the side of my embossed piece.

I then added this piece to the card front using some foam tape.

The small sentiment flag is from the retired Occasional Quotes  stamp set.

This card was a bit time consuming, but I really enjoyed the coloring and layering together..

This is such a beautiful stamp for coloring!

Thanks for stopping by today!
