Sending Hugs

Hi again,
     I have another card to share today and I'm really happy with the finished product.
I don't use my colored pencils often enough, so I pulled them out and got to work on this card for the, Make My Monday-Make It Krafty challenge. Colored Pencils and Kraft paper always work so well together, that's why I chose to use them for this challenge.

     This stamp from Simon Says is one I've had for a while, but this is the first time I've used it, I really love this stamp set. The sentiment is from the same set.  I stamped it using Altenew-permanent black ink on Kraft CS. Then using my Arteza colored pencils I colored the flowers and leaves. Then, with a Sharpie Fine tip marker I went over all the black lines to make the flowers stand out. I stamped the sentiment in the bottom left corner and the front was finished.

     As I said I don't use my colored pencils enough, so I'm not an expert, but I do love how it turned out.

     For the inside I just stamped one of the leaves, from the same set, in the bottom right corner and colored and outlined it. Other than the time it took to color this CAS card, it was quite simple and quick to create.

Hello again,

     Today I'm sharing a card I made for Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge. As I said in my last blog I haven't done many sketch challenges in the past, but I have really been enjoying doing them as of late, I think I will be doing them more often. 

     I used one of my bestie's stamps from IO and stamped several flowers and leaves, on Canson     Watercolor Paper with Altenew Permanent Black ink.  Then using my Zig Clean Color pens I water   colored it. When they were dry I fussy cut them out and set them aside to work on the front  panel.     

     Using KS-Stitched Rectangles I cut the front panel, from white #110 Recollections CS, then I used Altenew-Create a Wreath dies to cut the oval. I added a piece of Altenew-Glitter Gold Washi Tape     

1/2" from the bottom of panel and trimmed it off the edge of the oval. Using repositionable tape I       

place the flowers where they would hang over the edge of the oval. Then I placed the front panel over my card front and marked where the flowers and leaves would be, using a pencil. I also drew a light   line around the edge of the oval, so I would know where to place my sentiment. Once this was done   I stamped the sentiment onto the front of my 41/4" x 51/2" #110 Ivory card base. Then I used some 3-M dimensional tape on the panel and adhered it to my card front. I glued the flowers down with Aleen's Tacky glue and also used 3-M tape for the parts hanging over the edge of the oval. I added some sequins and some chunky glitter around the flowers and sentiment and the front is done.

      For those who have been to my blog before, you know I always bring something from the front of the card to the inside. So I added some Glitter Gold washi tape and a flower and leaf to finish.
