AAA Card Challenge NO. 315 - A Sketch Challenge

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards and it's a sketch challenge. 

To make this card, I used a stamp set by Trinity Stamps. I stamped the cat & the fiddle in the corner, colored it using OLO markes. I stamped the music noted around him and then added a subtle background using a stencil. 

Team Tuesday is back

We took break from Team Tuesday while things were changing BTS. I am sharing this card today on the My Sweet Petunia blog.  

To make this card, I started with a white A2 card base and a panel of white distress heavy stock. I created a background by placing the white heavy stock on a regular sized sticky mat and ink blended with some VersaFine Clair ink in Warm Breeze and Blue Belle. I used some white acrylic paint and splattered over the blended background. 

I placed the cardstock on a mini sticky mat then using the MISTI Lite I stamped the snowman image, colored it using OLO markers and cut it out with the coordinating dies.  The sentiment was also stamped with the Misti Lite and cut out with the coordinating die.  When you use a sticky mat to hold your cardstock while you stamp with the MISTI Lite it's perfect every time. 

The Stamp and coordinating die set is by Trinity Stamps.

This is day 3 of my Christmas series. I am trying to tie my series in with DT obligations. 

MTCC #54 - A Sketch

It's time for a new challenge at Make The Cards Challenges and we have a sketch for you.  I have to admit this sketch was a little challenging for me being a clean and simple stamper.  As you can see it is not followed down to the fine details but close enough to follow the main idea of the sketch.

To create my card I started with a top folding white card base and some retired but too gorgeous not to use patterned paper by Trinity Stamps. The stamp set I used is also by Trinity Stamps but also retired. It was a kit and I still love it.. 

The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.

I made a couple different cards but using the same image one stamped in Fadeout in and one stamped in Blackout ink, both watercolored with Atelier inks. 
Here is a side by side comparison, as you can see using the Fadeout ink gives it a much softer look. 

Now for the deets on my cards. 

The first card I stamped the image with Fadeout ink, watercolored it using Atelier ink in Sweet Petunia Pink, Marigold Orange and Goddess Green and then cut it out with the coordinating die. I used a bristol card base and created a wash for the background using Trinity Teal. 

To finish the ard I added foam tape to pop the image up on the cardbase and then added a sentiment from the Hello Gorgeous set using the Misti. 

The second card uses that same image but this time stamped in Blackout ink, watercolored with the same Atelier inks and cut out with the die. For the background I used one of the gorgeous papers that come in the kit. The die cut is by Erin Lee Creative. 
Here is the list of participating bogs, be sure to leave a comment on each stop to be eligible to win.

Snail Mail

Hello Friends!

My valentines inspiration series is over (I should have done more than 10 days) but I love making valentine cards so you will continue to see inspiration up until valentine's day itself. 

My card today is for this weeks CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base, and a white panel cut 1/4 inch smaller. 

I stamped the image from the Mr Snailman stamp set by Trinity Stamps, colored it using alcohol markers and then masked it off and created the background of hearts. 

The greeting is by Technique Tuesday.

To create my card I used all three colors. I created a background using the Sweet Petunia Pink and Trinity Teal and then stamped the flowers from the BeYOUtiful set in Shark Tooth White and watered colored them with an aqua brush with some Liquid Pixie Dust in it. 

Head over to Instagram tomorrow as we are hopping over there and will be giving away three $25 gift certificates to the shop. 

Faith over Fear

Slimline cards are all the rage right now and I created this one  for the Dare To Get Dirty challenges at Splitcoaststampers.

I started with a card base of 4 x 8 1/2 inches. I used the Foliage Slimline Frame by Trinity Stamps and ink blended some fall colors of Stardust and Sorbet inks by Concord & 9th and then turned it into a shaker with some Slimline acetate by Kat Scrappiness and Spiked Cider sequins by Picket Fence Studios.

I stamped the greeting from the Have Faith set by Gina K Designs and embossed it with Penny embossing powder by Brutus Monroe.

Welcome to Day 6 of my series 14 days of Valentines inspiration.

Today's card uses a stamp by a company new to me. I met Emily (pops of paper) and she gifted me this cute set that hasn't been released yet, so you're getting a sneak peek. Because of the hearts I thought that I would make a card and add it to my series. 

The other supplies I used are an embossing folder by Stampin Up and a postage die by Simon Says Stamp.
