Bubbles


Good morning!  At Tuesday Morning Sketches, we are again revisiting a sketch from last year; this week Melissa has chosen our sketch.  Next week we will feature a new sketch...so stay tuned!

I did a bit of coloring and paper piecing with the image, and then added some glitter.  I shabbied the papers up a bit and added pearls for embellishing.

Need a hug?


Good morning sketch fans!  So sorry my post is up a bit late; I put in a 14 hour day yesterday and then had a treacherous drive home.  It is cold, cold, cold here!  I found my car coated with ice, which took awhile to clean...by the time I was done, my fingers were numb.  Then I hit the icy road for home and had to deal with blowing snow as well.  I was a bit into the drive and decided maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but had to keep going.  I was trying to keep pace with the semi in front of me so I wouldn't loose sight of his tail lights but was afraid to drive as fast as he was.  I finally made it to town and ran into the worst white-out of the trip...there is an open field...not good!  After showering and talking to hubby and the kids, I sat down...and fell asleep!  What a day!

Back to this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches sketch....  Debbie has chosen our sketch and Doodle Pantry is our sponsor.  I went with Vintage Bear and shabbied my card up a bit...I really do like using my distressing tool...there's just something fun about it!  LOL  I embellished simply with Swarovski flatbacks and a button.

Life Happens Over Coffee


Good morning; I'm back with a new challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week Jessi has chosen her favorite sketch from last year and she is also our sponsor; it's also a judged challenge, so there is the additional twist of "Tone on Tone/Monochromatic".  Guess what you'll be playing for?  Jessi's amazing crocheted mats...in Valentine colors!  I am guessing you will want to play along (wink)!


I've made a shabby chic style card today...I thought it would go perfectly with the crocheted mat; I've done some distressing and paper piecing, then embellished with a flower and some mini brads.  Sometimes it's fun to go grubby!

Puppy Love


Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from Emma at Flat Friends; for December we challenge  you to use the colors blue/green/pink.  Sounds fun, right?!

Color challenges are a bit tough for me, but I remembered this DP in my stash and went from there.  I've used the adorable Puppy Love, which is colored with pencils, distressed the papers, and added a handmade felt flower and pearls for embellishing.

Hello there, Peep!


Good morning!  Since today is Friday, that means it's Bellariffic Friday...I used to play along about every week, but got out of the habit....  I decided it was time to play again...this week is a sketch challenge and I do love those!  I had planned to use Stella, but I saw this adorable Peep and went with her instead.

The Peep is colored with pencils and her eyes are dotted with a black gel pen...isn't her vintage style adorable?  The phone is paper pieced and I've added some black glitter to "glam" it up.  The papers are distressed and I've added a resin flower and Swarovskis flatbacks for embellishing.  (I'm not so sure I like my embellishing, but it was almost 2 a.m. and I was getting tired....)

Pearls


Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Card Crew; for this fortnight we would like to see pearls on your creation.

Ivy Fairy


Hello there!  We would like to see "Wings" on your creation for our latest challenge at Creative Card Crew; our sponsor for this challenge is Delicious Doodles.  I am working with the lovely Ivy Fairy today; thank you to Delicious Doodles for the image!

The image was shaded a bit in grayscale; I thought it looked so pretty that I would just add hints of color.  In addition to coloring the ivy, I've added a bit of color to her face (eyes, cheeks, and lips) and a hint of pale blue to her beautiful wings.  I've done a bit of distressing to the papers and for embellishing, I've added glitter to a portion of her wings and pleated some ribbon.

Chicken Birthday...Farm-style


Hello there!  I have a new challenge from the Creative Card Crew; for this fortnight, our challenge is "Down on the Farm".  Hmmm, I grew up on a farm so I had some insight for this challenge....  My first thought was my Penny Black chicks...love them!

I picked the image "Love Grows Here" to use today...thank you to Cedar Chest Designs!  I've colored the image with pencils then spritzed it with chocolate ink to shabby it up a bit.  The papers are distressed and I've added some subtle bling.

Favorite Color Combo


The ladies at the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog have a fun, new challenge...Use Your Favorite Color Combo.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Rick St. Dennis, and he has generously allowed me to pick the beautiful Eve to work with.  I think Eve is beautiful...a bit different than what I normally work with...thank you, Rick!

Eve is colored with pencils and I have paired her with some elegant Echo Park DP.  I've distressed my papers and embellished with ribbon, leafy swirls and pearls.  I wanted the image to take center stage.  As far as my favorite color combo...it was a bit hard...I knew I would pick pink, but there are so many different great color combos to choose from.  The pink/green combo here is a bit more subdued than what I would normally choose, but I like it for a fun change.

Inchies


Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you from Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Jennifer has chosen our challenge theme...inchies!  I have to admit that this was quite the challenge for me...I ended up tearing my card apart and re-working it before I was satisfied.  I guess that's why it is called a "challenge"!

I immediately thought of my DeNami chicks since they are so tiny.  The images are stamped, colored, and die cut with Spellbinder's dies.  I added some distressing and pearls for embellishing.

Shabby Chic Easter Chick


Good morning!  It's time for a new sketch from the ladies at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Jessi has drawn our sketch this week and also provided the DT with some awesome crochet mats to use...how cool is that?! I was so excited when I opened the package...the mats are really awesome!  A great big "thank you" to my teamie, Jessi!

I knew I needed to pick an image that was "just right" to use with my mat.  I decided to go with a Stampendous Easter chick...I think she is just adorable in her Easter finery!  I distressed my papers and embellished with a felt flower and a bit of bling.

In The Garden....


Good morning!  Ruby's Rainbow has a new challenge for this next fortnight; our theme "In The  Garden" was chosen by Shaz.  With zero degree temperatures here at the present, this helps me look forward to spring...I am so ready for it!

As I was looking through my stamps for something to work with, I came across Stella and knew I had to ink her up...I love her quirkiness!  Do you like the smudges of dirt on her face?  She's colored with pencils and I've accented her crown and wand with yellow glitter.  The sketch is from Some Odd Girl; I've done a bit of distressing and added a button/twine for embellishing.

It's Tuesday...Time for a Sketch!

Good morning!  It's time for another sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches; our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps and I am working with a set from the July release called Scripture Children.  It has beautiful silhouettes and sentiments.  Below is the sketch we will be working with; it has lots of possibilities....



I started by flipping my image and printing it on DP.  Next I cut my layers and did a bit of distressing before assembly.  I used some black brads to embellish.  I used a sentiment on the inside; it reads "Water a child with the Word and they will grow."
