Fresh Wings

Another fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #238 this week!  I'm excited to pair it with this week's rich color challenge from In{k}spire Me #251!
You know what I haven't played with in a while?  My Watercolor Wings!  That gives me a bit of scope for these colors, I think, and I'll add a couple botanical builder shapes, too!  I had a bit of a time clustering my little elements in the corner like this, but still, not too shabby!

Match the Dude

I like this fun sketch from Match the Sketch #126!  I want to combine it with the masculine CAS theme over at Watercooler Wednesday #69, too!
For going all manly, I knew I had to pull out Guy Greetings, and I LOVE mixing that one with the now retired Adventure Bound DSP stack - so many cool prints in there!  After that, it was all a matter of picking out patterns and textures, and mixing and matching for the right combo with the stamps!  I started with the hats, but wound up on the shoes, so of course, I have the "no one else could fill your shoes" sentiment on the inside, too, (with the strong dude!)

Tropical Awesomeness

OK, LOVE the gorgeous tropical colors at Sunday Stamps #127!  This one will be awesome to go with Stamp Ink Paper #49's flower theme!
For this card, I decided to trot out one of my fave techniques for my old Blendabilities - yes, I have hoarded mine all this time, and I still love them!  With them still unavailable, I tend not to use them as much, but they still have honored desk space, lol.  Anyway, I love to use them to "paint" white heat embossing, on black - it SO makes those colors pop!  I'm really happy with how this one came out - and I think I need to put Hawaii on the calendar!

Denim Blessing

This week's theme at Merry Monday #206 is "nativity" - awesome!  And I have a nativity in mind that I think will be perfect for this sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #272 - woot!
I'm excited to bring this stamp out for some daylight - this is Wonderful Blessing, a holiday single stamp from a few years back!  I've always thought it shows and says everything a Christmas stamp should, lol.  I've tried to update it just a bit by trying it in our new Dapper Denim, and adding some sparkly silver bits, too.  (Sorry, TSoT, totally NOT playing along with the optional summer fun theme, lol!)

So excited we have a tasty color challenge this week at Fab Friday #88!  I'm matching it with this playful sketch from Retro Sketch #216!  And just to make it extra exciting, let's add What Will You Stamp #65's Endless Birthday Wishes challenge!
So, as you can see from the choices I've made here, my fascination with the Swirly Scribbles dies continues!  I can't quite make up my mind if it's a bit too much of a good thing here, lol, but I sure jammed all three of these challenges in!  Do or die!  Maybe I need a therapy group for my challenge addiction - is there a Sketch Challenge Anonymous out there?  Quick, sign me up!
I look forward to seeing YOUR work over at the challenge - come get Fabulous with us!

Today I'm starting with As You See It #135, and adding the "masculine" theme from TGIF #56. 
I decided I wanted to play with Thoughtful Banners some more - I am fascinated by the possibilities of the long skinny bar included in the set.  Could I make it the focal point?  I picked out hubby's favorite colors and went to town, and then went back and added all the words that I think of when I think of him.  This is definitely in the running for his Father's Day card this year!

Oh bummer, here we are on our final week of My Pumpkin Challenge #0516 - 3-D Galore - it's been so fun!  Let's see if I can sneak in something 3-D on this sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #407!  And what the heck, let's throw in these colors from Just Add Ink #312, too!
With this sketch, I decided to bring out our recent Pumpkin BONUS stamp set - All About Everything.  It's so awesome!  I wondered what these colors would look like in our scribbly flowers, and I tried my hand at burnishing up the petals with my scoring tool to add some depth and dimension.  I like it!  Definitely worked out better than I thought - and as you can see, it took me to a Happy Place!

Lots of clever layers on this week's Match the Sketch #125!  I'm adding in the fresh breezy colors from Pals Paper Arts #301, too!
One soon-to-depart set that I haven't played with enough is the hostess set Love You Sew.  I love every one of these crafty sentiments, lol.  I think it will definitely be enjoying a sojourn in the room of retirement come next month - too cute to let go of for a while!  All the little embellie stamps were perfect to go with this wiseacre crack - and I already know who I'm sending it to!

Love this wide open sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #237!  But, argh, almost too much freedom, lol...
After some of my usual dithering, I decided to play with DSP, and of course, i have the gorgeous pre-order pack called Affectionately Yours - yum!  There are two specialty sheets that feature copper printing - oh-so-tempting today, but I kept coming back to this navy-crumb sheet.  How cool with a white set off?  This card was super simple and super quick, and I super love it!

Purple Party Pants!

Here's a nice bubbly sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday #271!  I think Watercoolor Wednesday #68's farewell to our departing In Colors is a perfect match, too!
It didn't take much squinting for me to spot the balloons in this sketch!  And having a color challenge to see them in pretty much sealed the deal.  I tried to beef up the Blackberry Bliss a bit with the twine, just because purple is my favorite color, lol.  Good times!
