Freshly Made Sketches #261 Entry

Good Morning,

Today I have my version of the Freshly Made Sketch #261. You can find Freshly Made Sketches HERE.

Here is the original Sketch:

 Here is my version of the sketch:

To create my version I used my Copic Markers to color the Stampendous "Santa Waiting" stamp. I then mounted the image on a piece of red cardstock off centered. I used the wrap around method to secure a piece of white lace and a piece of holly ribbon to the card front. I then mounted the layered image centered over the card front which is from SEI "Holiday Traditions." This whole panel was then mounted to the white A2 sized card base.

Thank you for stopping by,
Toni

Freshly Made Sketches #149 Entry

Good Morning Everyone!

It's an over cast day here in New Hampshire. What better weather to create cards? Today I finished my entry for the Freshly Made Sketches #149 Challenge.

You can follow Freshly Made Sketches here.

Here is the sketch for this week's challenge.

Here is my interpretation of the sketch. 

 The image is of cherry blossoms from "Rubber Stampede" I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image using Copic markers (RV000, RV21, E25, E59, YG03) and accented the blossoms with Cotton Candy Stickles. The paper is from Core'dinations and Recollections.

Thanks for stopping by.

Good Evening Everyone!

It was a beautiful weekend here in New Hampshire...well except for Friday when it just rained, and rained, and rained. So to chase away the gloom I decided to work on my card creations.

Below is a picture of Freshly Made Sketches' Sketch for this week.

I decided to blend masculine and Steampunk themes to create this card.

I used stamps by Fisker and die cut the circles using my Cricut Expression 2.0. The card is 5x6.5". I've had the pattern paper and embellishment in my stash for the longest time.

Freshly Made Sketches #130

Good Morning Everyone!

Today is another beautiful spring day! The snow out back of my building is almost gone. (Insert happy dance) However, I'm really looking forward to summer and taking a trip up to York, Maine. So for my version of the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #130, I decided to use a more summery theme.

This card is A2 size (4.25x5.5"). The cardstock is from Core'dinations and the pattern paper is from DCWV. I colored the stamp image with Copic markers. The brad and ribbon are items that I've had in my stash. 


Here is the original sketch

Good Evening Everyone!

As you can see I've been a busy lady today--as this is my third post.

Here is my entry for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week:

I used the Cricut Preserves cartridge to cut out the tag and the Cuttlebug Companion Embossing Folder for the Preserves cartridge. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. Below is the original sketch from Freshly Made Sketches blog:

Freshly Made Sketches #127 Entry

Hello Everyone!

Luckily we missed the most recent winter storm. Only 4 inches of snow; however, the temperatures remain low. Besides cuddling with my "minions"-I've been working on the Freshly Made Sketches #127 Challenge. You can see that blogs by clicking here.

Here is my card based on the sketch.

I used some paper I have laying around in my stash along with an embossing folder to add texture to the tag.
