Tuesday Morning Sketches #518

Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  I do appreciate your visit.  The newest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I love this sketch.

My card features the large die of month - I think it's June 2019 - from Spellbinders.  It also features a stencil I cut using the Silhouette Cameo.  I absolutely love it!


I hope you love this color combo as much as I do!  Who knew Apricot Appeal (SU!) and Picked Raspberry Distress ink would go so well together.  I then pulled in some other old cardstock - Berry Sorbet and Sweet Blush (PTI) that I have had FOREVER.  I added some green and periwinkle cardstock, too.  This card, although I didn't picture it will pull up to expose a window for a hidden message.  I did put some vellum on the back of the wreath.  I cut out the HI from gold foil cardstock and adhered to the vellum.

I am over the moon for this card.  We'll see you over at the TMS blog - I can't wait to see what you do with the sketch.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #517

Hello and thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's by Debbie.  It's sure to become a go to sketch of yours!

My card features stamps from Gina K, sentiment stamp/die from Simon Says Stamp and an old paper pad from my stash.  This was a very hard card for me to make.  I don't like making Sympathy cards so I really struggled with this and I'm still not super happy with the results.


This paper pad has nice cheery colors of turquoise and yellow and grays.  When I was done I realized I picked mostly the grays so it made this card dreary.  But it is what it is and I hope my message to my friend who lost her father this past week will bring comfort and that she knows I am thinking about her.

Please come see us at Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.  We'd love to have you join us.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #516

Hello!  Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's such a fun one by Andrea.  This one can be so much:  fun and whimsical, elegant, masculine.

My card features the July Simon Says Stamp kit... again.  I can't get enough of this paper and cute little bees.


This was a really simple notecard to put together.  I made this while video chatting with my sisters.  It was just perfect for our conversation.  One sister worked on baking bread and the other colored.  It was fun.

We'll see you over at the TMS blog - be sure to stop by and say hello.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #515

Hello!   Thank you so much for stopping by!  I appreciate your visit.  So the latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  There's a lot of layers - more than I've done lately, but I think you'll like this sketch.

My card features the Pink & Main stamp set and die set called Sunflowers...


I made 4 of these cards!  I am planning on getting them in the mail to the ladies I write to every week and I'm sending the other 2 to my sister to send to a couple of ladies that need a little sunshine in their mailbox.

I stamped the images using  VersaFine Clair ink - Pinecone.  I did use my MISTI so that when I finished the simple Copic coloring I could overstamp the images.  I was originally going to heat emboss but I decided I liked the bold outline as is.  I used a fun plaid embossing folder by JoAnn's, dies by CC Designs and MFT Stamps and lastly some sepia vellum my sister sent me so long ago, I've been hoarding it.  And then finished it off with some Dark Walnut Nuvo Drops.

Well, I hope to see you at the TMS blog.  I'd love it if you left me a "hello" in the comments, too.
