An Apple a Day


Hello! It's Tuesday so that means it's new sketch time at Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'll admit I was leery when I first saw this sketch. Took me awhile to come up with a plan but I have to say that I'm very happy with the end results! The stamps are PTI and the die cut is from a Peachy Cheap set/deal that I got recently. The embossed background is an old SU favorite of mine called Square Lattice, LOVE this folder. Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to stop by and check out what the rest of the DT has created.

Morning Kick Start


Hello! Dusted off an oldie this morning to try an get another card in for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop before it ends. I used a Stampabilities House Mouse stamp called Morning Kick Start. I paper pieced the mug and colored it with a combo of my Copics and my Prisma colored pencils. I just can't get fur to look right with the markers or skin tones to look good with pencils but I'm happy when I use the combo of the two! Used more of my beloved Lawn Fawn plaid paper, hope they keep making it. Love how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by your visits/comments make my day!

Scarecrow Fun


Hello! It's Tuesday so that means it's new sketch time over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week we are sponsored by DRS Designs. I've used the Large Scarecrow and Happy Fall Y'All Greeting on my card. When I saw this adorable scarecrow I knew I needed to use some plaid paper. Went to my favorite for that Lawn Fawn, LOVE their plaids! After finding the paper I wanted I than found copics to match and colored my image. Which is a reverse for me as I usually color a pile of images than find papers later when I make it into a card. I added some strips of burlap and called it done. Love the colors on this one a lot . Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has come up with. Challenges are listed below.

Colors of Fall


Hello! Today's card uses a stamp I've had for YEARS and never used. Unfortunately I have way to many of those. It's an un mounted stamp I think I got from DRS Designs at a stamp show, although I can't find it on their website? Maybe it's retired or my memory is failing me?!! I colored it with my pencils and found this YNS sketch to use with it. Still not sure about rounded corners but figured it's time to change it up a bit and just went with it. Sorta misfigured my paper size and had to move my enamel dots off to the side. Just LOVE making fall cards, think it's the warm color tones I like so much?! Anyway that's all for now thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Pumpkin Spice

 
Hello! It's Tuesday so it's time for another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It's a fun one this week and perfect for using those Tag dies! I'm still on my Prismacolor pencil kick and enjoying it. I used the Unity Pumpkin Spice mini set, another one that I bought the other week on their $3 sale! Still have more new stuff to ink up so hopefully in the next few weeks you see them cause a lot of them were Fall related. One of my most favorite kinds of cards to make. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has come up with. Challenges listed below.

Fall Greetings


Hello! Had a bit of time to play today and here is one of cards I made. It uses a DRS Designs stamp that I cut apart after coloring to make it work for the sketch. Here is a card I made a few years ago with the same stamp left the way it was made. The paper is from a DCVW 6x6 pad called The Harvest House Stack. Love the non traditional colors in this pad. I had colored my image first and was lucky to find the perfect paper to go with it. I will say this picture doesn't do this card justice.....it looks much better in person! That's all for now but be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch! Challenges I'm entering are listed below.
