Tuesday Morning Sketches #762

 Hello friends.  Thank you for stopping by.  I appreciate your visit.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketch and I think you might find this one rather fun!  

My card features svg cuts that I got from the Silhouette Design Store, foils from Brutus Monroe and card and wave die from Tonic Studios.  Check this cutie out....

I admit when I drew this sketch I had something else in mind.  But when I couldn't remember what exactly I was thinking my head went right to a jelly fish and I couldn't let it go and do something else!  So I pulled out my Silhouette Cameo and cut out a jelly fish.  I then covered the pieces with Duo Gel by ThermoWeb.  Let that dry and then foiled using Lapis Watercolor foil from ThermoWeb and Purple Sketch foil from Brutus Monroe.  I designed the tongue-in-cheek sentiment myself.  I colored it with black marker and then using embellishment mousse from Tonic Studios I colored that a bit.  I finished it off with some Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer also from Tonic Studios. 

Here you can see the shine of the foil and a bit of glittery goodness on the sentiment.  This card was a joy to create!  I hope it inspires you to have some fun with stuff in your stash as it did me!

 Hello friends.  Thank you so much for stopping by - the latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a great one from Debbie.  I used it 3 times.  You will absolutely recognize it when you see the cards posted here or on Facebook and/or Instagram.

But first....

I hate making sympathy cards but they tend to be the prettiest.  This one features the new Foil Fusion images from Tonic Studios as well as their new embossing folder called Botanical Beauty.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

I hope to see you over at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog - come join us!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #760

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one.  But honestly, I cheated.  I created this sketch based on last month's Tonic Studios craft kit.

Check out my candy box card...

What could be better than chocolates!  I wished these were real while I made this card! I would have loved to nibbled on a few of these while making this card.

And here's this little shaker bit I made...

Isn't this cute!?  I love how this turned out.  I hope you love it, too.  Please join us in the fun.  We'll see you over at the TMS blog!

Color My Heart Color Dare #604

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  Color My Heart Color Dare #604 is up and ready for your fun and creativity!

This challenge is....

I'm using Flamingo, Ballerina, Clover and Limeade.  I am also featuring foilable stickers from Brutus Monroe and flower/sentiment images from Crafty Meraki.  This is a simple, single layer (basically) card that will only take a single stamp to mail.

I also recently purchased a Minc machine, so I pulled out some Poly-something card panels from GinaK.  It's so hard to photograph the silver foil that I used on the butterfly and the background.  It's there though and looks great in person! 

Tuesday Morning Sketches #759

 Hello friends!  Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's really simple.  It's a good one for washi tapes, die cuts or as I did, embossing folders.

My card was made using the 3D Pretty Petal Trellis embossing folder from Tonic Studios.  This is not my idea, I totally CASE'd DT member Filomena's technique.

Filomena did bright colors on hers but I kept mine very light.  This picture doesn't do it justice!  The sentiment is from the brand new Foliage and Simple Sentiments die set.  

I do hope you'll join us - c'mon, it'll be fun!
