Time For a Sketch

My turn to pick the challenge at Come and Get It this week and I chose a sketch for this challenge. Here is my card I made from the sketch. 
 
 
 
 Here is the sketch. Hope you can see the sketch in my card.

 
The leaves on the card are cut with a set of die cuts by Dee's Distinctively out of some leftover Gelli print paper I had made for my art journal. I liked the colours and the variation of the pattern.  I hope you will join us this week at Come and Get It Challenges and thanks for stopping by.

Hummingbird


This week at Party Time Tuesday (#74) the theme is "Anything Goes". This card is a simple card made with two different die cutting stencils from Dee’s Distinctively, a hummingbird and a fern. I used three different papers for the the card along with brown pearls for the card. I curled the feathers and used pop dots to add some dimension.

The humming bird die cut is interesting because you can make the bird is several different poses. I love the soft colours of this card.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Colourful Chickadee


They have a bold and sassy color combination for this week’s challenge at Dynamic Duos Challenge (#5). The colours are "real red and island indigo".

I used a few different die cutters to create this card:

  • Chickadee by Dee’s Distinctively for the bird 
  • Branch by Memory Box
  • Three different Spellbinders Nestabilities for layering
  • Tim Holtz Flora cutter
I found the red and white brad and the polka dot red and white ribbon in my stash and added them to finish the card, Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Happy Bird-day


This is a card I made for a friends upcoming birthday. I had just purchased a few new die cutters and embossing folders at a craft show and was wanting to make a card with them.

The chickadee dimensional die cutter is by Dee’s Distinctively. Branch is a die cutter by Memory Box and the embossing folder is by Bring Crafts-Too You. A Muse Artstamps is the maker of the sentiment "Happy Bird-day!"

I like the simple look of the card. Yellow is such a cheery colour.

Thanks for stopping by. Take time to do something creative for yourself today.
