This card features the “Just Believe” collection from EK Success. There is metallic silver throughout. I used Sketch 64 at Freshly Made Sketches for inspiration. Thanks for your visit today.
I used a classic design for this card: Sketch 56 at Freshly Made Sketches. The focal point is a lovely sticker by Penny Black. The colors are just on the edge of traditional–a little brighter than the standards. Thanks for stopping by.
I created this card using the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for Challenge #53. I recently purchased some really nice SEI papers with copper foil in the patterns. It seemed perfect for the background strips for this sketch. I added sparkle to the digital image as well, but coloring the butterfly with the Sakura sparkly gel pens. I added some additional sparkle around the image with some faux stitched dots. Thanks for visiting today.
I needed to make a fun card for my son’s birthday this year, which is on Tuesday. He likes squirrels, so this image seemed to be a good fit! I used Sketch #14 to celebrate Freshly Made Sketches’ first anniversary and challenge to use any sketch from the past year. I colored the squirrel with Copic markers and the acorns with Sakura gel sparkle pens. Happy Anniversary, Freshly Made Sketches and Happy Birthday, Trenton! Thanks for visiting.
This card featured my first real mirrored image attempt for the 365 cards Day 185 challenge: Mirror Image. I used the Memory Box “Tree Border” stamp and the watercolor technique with Distress Inks. I stamped with a Distress Ink pad and then touched up the stamp (direct to rubber) with a couple more colors of Distress Ink Markers. Then I gave it a little spritz of water and stamped onto watercolor paper for the reflected portion of the image. I used the same stamp to stamp the top image with VersaFine ink. The sketch I used is the current one at Freshly Made Sketches: #50. I really liked this sketch–it was really perfect to display the image. Thanks for visiting. I have now officially finished one full week of challenges at 365 Cards! Hurray!
I really like square cards, so this sketch caught my eye. It is Freshly Made Sketches #49. I combined stamped images with punched flowers to make the border images. The flower centers are made with black Pearl Pen, which is one of my new obsessions. This will be a perfect OWH card for a Hero who just wants to send a card for no particular reason. Thanks for stopping by!
This is a pretty clean and simple card. I really feel that the rose silhouette stamp is beautiful and strong enough to stand alone with the muted tones of the patterned papers as a backdrop. I really enjoyed this sketch, the first I’ve used from Freshly Made Sketches–this is Freshly Made Sketch #42. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you soon.
