We have a fun seaside inspiration board for you today at Hand Stamped Sentiments #382! I'm matching up with our throwback sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #542, too! I knew right away I was going to focus on that pretty pink bus - totally because of the VW buss in our Sale-A-Bration set Driving By! I did both the pink AND blue on mine, and it has a psychedelic feel to it as well, from my pretty sheet of DSP from the New Horizons pack - yum! I managed to get the main sketch elements in there, too - I had to trim my layers down so I could squeeze in a little tilt for my tag! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges - meet you there!

What a lovely quote Time Out Challenges #206 has to inspire us this week! Beautiful! I knew right away that I was going to pull out my Grace's Garden set that retired last year. Fencing and gardens all in one set, I it's just right! I did this little scene with a pretty stamped gate, and some flowers on either side, then added the little bird. I popped up a little kitty to be distracted by the birdie. Such fun to color with my Blends Markers, and I couldn't resist finishing with my Brushed Brass Butterflies. Even the sentiment is perfect for this one! Yay!

We have some fun and twisty layers this week for you at Sunday Stamps #276! With such lovely wide open space to play with, I couldn't resist breaking in the gorgeous new On The Horizon suite! My favorite element is of course this amazing DSP, New Horizons - with all the watercolor-like effects, I think this pack was made just for me! I let the DSP do all the work on this one, just added the birds and floated this simple layered sentiment to go with - love these, too, because they are so quietly loving, and the mix of fonts always gives me a thrill! I finished with a few Faux Sea Glass Shapes underneath, though they're hard to see. I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our awesome sketch! Meet you at the challenge!

Oo, a great combo at this week's In{k}spire Me #470 - love the colors AND the sketch! I had a tricky time pulling in all these yummy colors, lol. I dug through some DSP to help me out, and came up with this lovely Calypso Coral sheet from You're a Peach, and this little strip of Flirty Flamingo is from Simply Marbelous. I floated both of these over Flirty Flamingo layers, and then did my feature layer in my remaining two colors with our new set Flowing Flowers - I stamped some smaller flowers in Daffodil Delight, and the larger blossom in Mango Melody. I love this set! So simply, but so easy to layer, and gorgeous sentiments!

Very fun - The Sisterhood of Crafters is back again, this time with a "Winter CAS" challenge! Let's go! I first started by really having a good look for a sentiment that had "winter" in it. I found my old Mountain Adventure first, but on a hunch I checked my past Paper Pumpkins and found Winter Woods from October 2019! It had this perfect little sentiment for me, and all I added to that was this pretty pine panel in Pear Pizzazz, and a couple pine cones from Christmas Season - those 2-steppers are still my fave, lol. I finished with a few Gilded Gems for a touch of sparkle. Hope it's CAS enough! Christmas Season & Winter Woods (Paper Pumpkin Oct 2019) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Early Espresso & Crumb Cake Inks; Wintry EF; Seasonal Labels Dies; Gilded Gems; #TSOCWinterCAS. This should be fun - Cardz 4 Guyz #288 wants us to feature something that starts with a "P!" A quick browse landed me right on Paradise Palms - great for a guy, and perfect for a "p," lol. I admit, I'm starting to have Maui on the brain again as we get closer to our annual anniversary trip, lol. Can't wait to see (and hear!) these beauties in person! I added some coconuts to one of my trees today, and at the last second decided to heat emboss my sentiment in White onto Early Espresso, in keeping with my brown details. I really don't heat emboss enough! Paradise Palms Stamp Set; In Good Taste DSP; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Versamark, Soft Suede, Early Espresso & Garden Green Inks; White EP; Palms & Ornate Frames Dies; #C4G288. Oo, we have some cool and pretty colors to play at this week's Cupcake Inspiration #536! I have to admit, I was pretty stumped for this one. So I started shuffling through the stack of not-yet-ink-christened sets on my desk. And I hit on Bragworthy, a sentiment set filled with smarty pants thoughts, lol. And there was this one about towels... That was it - wheels spinning! How about I make TOWELS out of these colors to go with this sentiment?? I giggled the whole time I was making this! Naturally, I used the Tasteful Textile EF to get started, then crumpled everything up and smoothed it back out a bit. Then I decided I liked the colors set off a little with a Crumb Cake background, so the sentiment had to be in Early Espresso. And I happened to have pearls in the right colors, too. It's all good - and I think I need new towels - weeee! Bragworthy Stamp Set; Basic White, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride & Mint Macaron CS; Early Espresso Ink; Tasteful Textile EF; Share What You Love Artisan Pearls (retired); #CI536. OK, by the mysterious workings of the 2022 calendar, I have a confluence of challenges today, lol. First up, we have Sparkles Christmas Challenge #133, and we want to see you bring on the gold! I wasn't sure how I would do this, so on a hunch, I dug through some retired DSP - bingo! This background sheet from Blackberry Beauty dazzled me! I decided it would be awesome to match it with our just retired Great Tidings, and gold heat-emboss my three wise men - love it! I did one each on Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso, and in person they really pop! I tried to give them a neutral wash behind by floating a circle of vellum, too, great effect in person, sigh... At the last second, a few Gilded Gems finished it! Great Tidings Stamp Set (retired 2021); Blackberry Beauty DSP (retired); Basic White, Vellum, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Rich Razzleberry & Blackberry Bliss CS; Versamark & Blackberry Bliss (inside) Inks; Gold EP; Layering Circles, Ornate Frames & Wise Men Tidings Dies; Gilded Gems; #SCC133. NEXT, I have a combo! At SU Only #294, we'd like to see something for Valentine's, which pairs perfectly with our "love" theme at Retro Rubber #175 - yay! My fave Valentine's set of all time is STILL PS I Love You, from 2012. This heart stamp, made up of tiny hearts, is just so beautiful, and I have kept my Full Heart and Modern Labels punches just for this set, lol. I did three of these "hearts of hearts" in shades of pink, and layered everything over a sheet of our AB Simply Marbelous paper in Flirty Flamingo. A few extra black accents and it's set for hubby - my forever Valentine! PS I Love You Stamp Set (retired 2012); Simply Marbelous DSP; Basic White, Flirty Flamingo & Basic Black CS; Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Full Heart & Modern Label Punches (both retired); Black Baker's Twine; Classic Matte Dots; #RRCB175; #SUOC294. |
