Sketch #159 http://unscriptedsketches.com/ with a piggy back this week being USE INK/CAN BE STAMPED INK, FAUX STITCHING, DISTRESSED INK LOOK..

I used ink to stamp the image vs using a digi like I usually do. I love stamping and have so many stamps so I am going to try to just use stamped images for my Unscripted sketches.. I also used some ranger in the edges of the tan paper and some white su ink for the edges on the brown card, it really toned it down I like the look. I did some sewing around the tan part, I don't use the machine much but I love the look and wanted to carry the red out more.

I hope you play along and post to the link above. Hop over to US to see the other dt members inspirations.

Sea the other dolphin

Friday May 18, 2012

Free Friday at Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/ with the image being called DOLPHIN DUO ... guess I should of looked at the name better before I made my card.. It wasnt till just the other night I realized there were two dolphins in the image when I saw it on the bug forum done by another dt member.. OH MY and I made the card not even seeing it. I just thought it was a large splash with the way dolphins go in and out of the water. When I told my DH oh my there are two dolphins (this is way after I posted it on CTB forum site) he said yea I saw it.. WHAT!! why didnt you tell me so I could of colored it in before I watermarked /posted it.. ? he said he thought I knew and thought it looked cool that way.. oh yea that is what I wanted it to look like - NOT.. now when I look at this card it sticks out like a sore thumb... LOL.

I was so focused on watercoloring the water that I did not even look that much on the image. I also spritzed the card with bubbles spray for a shimmer look but it's hard to see in the photo.. (wish the dolphin was too) the sea gulls is an old stamp that I have no idea by who.. the clouds are from my own cloud template.. that about covers it. the papers are club scrap and su rich razzleberry.

Today's card challenge is brought to you by C.R.A.F.T challenge http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ with the challenge being EASEL CARD and this is being sponsored by Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/

I have made a few easel cards and really liking them now. At first I was concerned how to make them but saw a great tutorial on UTUBE and now I know how (plus I have a sample one I keep : )

I used the GP headband girl by Catch the bug. I really think she looks cute and I had this sentiment that was part of the paper pad so put them all to use. Of course I had to make flowers to finish this off. I hope you play along and upload your card to CRAFT link above.

Dream Big - Glitter it up

Monday May 14, 2012

I hope everyone had a great Mothers day and got to spend time with their children in one way or another. I spent the time remembering my mom and reflecting on past times and cried. I talked to my children as they live in other states or hours away so it was nice hearing from them even if I couldnt see them. We talk a lot all the time but mothers day was a special time. DH took me out to our favorite Asian food buffet.. ummm good

Today is new release at Paper Pretties http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/ and these are the two new releases.. we have Ginene with sentiments, and Catisha with sentiments. I chose to use Catisha for my card.

Ginene Catisha

The theme for this weeks challenge is GLITTER IT UP... I chose paper where the silver is glittered and the ribbon has a glittery look plus the glitter on the wings. It was hard to choose which sentiment to put with this card and love the idea that I had a choice of words.. I love that about these sets as you get them all in one set.
