I Miss You

3/12/2021

Such a fun sketch we have this week at Fab Friday #209!
I think I want to pull out one I haven't played with much yet - I think only once so far! This is Art Gallery, and it's a lovely suite of brushwork flowers, papers and GOLDING FLAKES! We'll be playing with those in our Messy Class next month, but here's a card I did of piecing the flowers and stems together - I love how it came out! I added a few sequins to pull out the highlights, but stuck pretty close to my three basic colors otherwise...
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our sketch - meet you at the challenge!
Art Gallery Stamp Set; Fine Art Floral DSP; Whisper White, Calypso Coral & So Saffron CS; Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral Inks; Floral Gallery Dies; Iridescent Sequins; #FabFri209.

I haven't gotten the chance to play here too much this year, so I am THRILLED to be able to sneak in on the tail end of Freshly Made Sketches #415!
This one was a tough one for me - I'm still feeling the call of Christmas, but I wasn't happy with my choices shape-wise for this one, and of course, me eye kept returning to these elegant pens in Crafting Forever, lol. That's when it's pretty much a done deal for me, I guess, as soon as my eye catches on something, I have a hard time letting go! Next on was the hunt for a good sentiment, which I found in the Well Said Bundle - I die-cut this outside phrase, and stamped the accompanying "far apart but close at heart" inside. I think this is the CAS-est Ive done in a while!
Well Said & Crafting Forever Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Mango Melody, Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Pumpkin Pie Blends Markers; Well Written Dies; Black Rhinestones; #FMS415.

We have a spiffy landscape sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #430 - and I'm thrilled to combine it with SU Only #234's coloring challenge!
I spent some time browsing the stamp shelves for a nice coloring opportunity to get ready for this card, and kept coming back to Cuckoo For You, which I think I've only inked up once, lol. Double win! I chose some sweet colorful DSP to set the palette and went to town on my little clock face. Can I just say, I love my Blneds Markers? Did you not know that yet? Well, now you do, lol...
I can't wait to see what YOU are inspired to create, over at the challenges - see you there!

Very cool - Back to Basics #23 has a fun tic-tac-toe grid for us this week! Bingo!
I finally settled on the Pearls-Flowers-Blue column - this was a tough one for me! I'm still loving up neglected stamps here, too, so out came my gorgeous Enjoy Life set. I love these little floral viney things - that's what I'm using for my Balmy Blue flowers, anyway! I used this two part sentiment for the first time, too, and decided on a two-tone with Soft Suede - I think they go great together! I decided to use the tiny butterfly in this set to add some detail, which also helped me get the pearls rolling - no naked butterflies! I did take a tiny shortcut by punching out with my 1/2" Circle Punch - extra border, lol!
Enjoy Life Stamp Set; Whisper White & Soft Suede CS; Balmy Blue & Soft Suede Inks; Layering Squares Framelits; 1/2" Circle Punch; Basic Jewel Pearls; #BBB23.

We have a collection of brilliant Fall colors for you at this week's Sunday Stamps #189! I think CAS-ual Fridays #209 will be perfect for helping me along, too!
With these colors, I couldn't help but out Blended Seasons one more time - I love this little spray of blowing leaves - I masked off one stray to make them a perfect fit for corners! I did some more aqua-painting today, too, I think it's a good look for leaves. I snuck in some Pool Party accents for the blue, and finished with some gold pearls - so elegant.
So, what do you think of for our colors? I hope I get to see at the challenge!
Blended Season Stamp Set; Very Vanilla & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Mango Melody & So Saffron Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Gold Pearls; #SSC189; #CFC209.

SU! Only #204 has a designer's choice challenge for us this week - hm, what SHALL I do??
So, what today's stamp search taught me is that I have too many favorites right now, lol. I finally settled on my fave hostess set, Hand Delivered. I am LOVING building this lady in all the "delivery" combos! I like the balloons best, I think, for being able to add bright pops of color in various combos. This week, I'm all about Berry Burst, I guess, I feel like I've picked it up every day this week! I'm also hi-lighting our markers - so fun to color with! A touch of texture, a few of my fave-but-retired {SOB} sequins, and I'm all set - Tutti Frutti rules!
Hand Delivered Stamp Set; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Nude Blendie; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Flirty Flamingo Markers; Layering Circle Framelits; Flourish Thinlits; Tutti Frutti Sequins; #SUO204.

Check it out - I found ANOTHER new blog to play at: Back to Basics & Beyond #5, and this week is all about heat embossing!
Going through my stack of new stamps (it's getting smaller!) I decided to go with the new Sitting Pretty set - I could totally see that gorgeous wrought iron bench heat-embossed in black! This is another super well-coordinated set - lovely framelits with a texture piece, too, and lots of two-step stamping opportunities in the images in the set - even an extra bench in the framelits! I'm just dipping my tow in the wrought-iron today, lol... Quick Tip: have a little miss on your two-step stamping? Use your blender pen to fudge the lines a little, as I did to achieve a kind of two-tone effect on my spider plant leaves! They need NEVER know, lol...

We have one of my fave sketches ever at this week's Fab Friday #135 - a banner, and it's TILTY! Yeah! To complete the perfection, Paper Players #388 came up with a green and purple color challenge that has me written all over it!
So, after getting all excited about the titlty banner, I totally went another direction, lol. I just couldn't turn away from Oh So Eclectic, and the fun shapes in its Eclectic Layers Thinlits set - I think maybe I went too far with the hatch-work pattern thingie, lol. Still it's funny how all these weird elements just WORK together, though they're really bad for my over-embellish-itis. Enough is NEVER enough! See you over at Fab - can't wait to see your creations!
Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set; Wisteria Wonder, Tranquil Tide, Elegant Eggplant & Whisper White CS; Tranquil Tide, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Eclectic Layers Thinlits; Bottles & Bubbles Framelits; Touches of Nature Embellishments; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; Perfect Plum (shh) Taffeta Ribbon; #FabFri135; #PP388.

In{k}spire Me #332 has a cute peek-a-boo sketch for us this week - so cute! I'm combining with this lovely deep color challenge from TGIF #141, too!
I decided to ink up my recently acquired Oh So Eclectic set for this one - which is a set that I got for the fabulous thinlits that go with it. I could use that patterned background piece for my "peek-a-boo" piece - yes! I love the color-wash pieces that go with both the flowers and the leaves in this, too, and I haven't even STARTED playing with the gemstone thinlits, lol... I really love how this came together!

Another super-cute sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #429 this week? And wouldn't you know - it's also Pumpkin Day - every Wednesday I try to create a card using our Paper Pumpkin kits, past and present! Yay!
I decided to day to make a quick and simple card, for a dear dear friend, who's been absent lately, for bereavement. I know she's grieving, and I so want her to have the space to be present for that, and for her family, but I also want her to know how much I think of her, every day, and miss her. I hope this cheerful card is gentle enough... Peace to you, dear one.
