Get Sketchy Challenge #36

It's time for another Get Sketchy Challenge. When I saw this sketch I thought it was a perfect chance to make more tissue paper flowers. Practice makes perfect right?



This time I inked up a brayer with blush blossom ink and rolled it over a big piece of tissue paper. I folded it up and cut out several sizes of the blossom nestabilities. I layered them and attached a button using SU linen thread. I then gathered all the layers up around the button sponged the edges with blush blossom ink. I then flattened the flowers out and attached them to the card using the linen thread.



Supplies Used:
Stamps: Verve Stamps: Flowers of Tomorrow
Ink: SU Chocholate Chip, Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink, Blush Blossom
Cardstock: SU Always Artichoke, Blush Blossom
Paper: Basic Grey Capella
Accessories: Basic Grey Capella Buttons, SU Ribbon, White Tissue Paper, Nestabilities: Blossom, Squares and Fancy Tags, SU Rich Regal Brads, SU Linen Thread

Get Sketchy

This little cutey is for the Get Sketchy challenge #35. I used my Cricut machine and Sure Cuts A Lot software to cut the 1/2 oval shape and the scalloped tangerine tango base. I then stamped Ruffles and his little bandaged paw using Memento Tuxedo Black. I coloured him using my copics and airbrushed the background. The picture makes it look really splotchy but it looks better in real life.


Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Helz Cuppleditch Ruffles Get Well Soon, Sentiment Masculine Motifs
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Taken with Teal, Tangerine Tango
Paper: Basic Grey Max and Whiskers
Accessories: Cricut Machine, Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Stampin Up Oval, Scallop Oval, Wide Oval Punches

Get Sketchy Challenge #32

My dad met the CEO of Hero Arts the other day at a business event. He really liked him and of course my dad had to mention that I enjoyed stamping. He got his business card and handed it to me and said, "have you heard of this company?". I was really impressed with the business card because one edge was scalloped punched! That inspired me to get out some of my Hero Art Stamps to get creative. For the background I stamped the floating blossoms background image in Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie craft ink, covered it with clear embossing powder then heated it. I sponged the entire piece with Stampin Up Apricot Appeal I cut 2 rectangles out for the two background pieces, then used a circle nestabilitie for the circle. I then stamped one of the flowers from the Blossom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black and coloured it with my copic markers, cut it out, punched a hole and attached it to the layered circle. The layout is from the Get Sketchy with it challenge # 32




Supplies Used:
Stamps: Heros Arts Large Background Floating Blossom, Blossoms
Ink: Pumpkin Pie Craft, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Paper: Crate
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Ice Rhinestone Brad

3 Challenges in one card

I am getting into the groove of doing weekly challenges. At first I thought I was going to create a separate card for each challenge, but as I started listing all of the challenges in a little notebook, they started to merge!

My favourite store, Stamp and Create was having a sale on Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. I had been stalking some of the stamps and staying away from adding them to my shopping cart because they were of people. I am/was nervous about colouring human beings. That was until I stumbled across Lavinia. A cute lady with gears. Being an engineer, I have to create with her! Knowing that I had Tim Holtz's Big Shot Gadget Gears Sizzix Die on pre-order, my creative imagination went wild. So into the shopping cart she went, along with this pretty lady, Gevevieve. She became the focal point for the card, combine three challenges and the result became one beautiful creation!

I also started using all of the Tim Holtz goodies I had been purchasing but keeping wrapped up because of big words like distress and applicator tools that looked too time consuming to use. I got Tim's new book, A Compendium of Curiosities , and it shows how to use all of his fun inks, powders, applicators. That applicator tool (Keep in mind that welding torches and power tools are my friends) that seemed too hard to use...has now been reduced to the simplicity of a pencil. The sentiment part of the card was all produced with Tim Holtz supplies. I am looking forward to getting really creative with his stuff.

This is my first time in participating in all three of these challenges; Kraftin' Kimmie - Buttons and Bows, Get Sketchy Challenge # 27, and Copic Creations - A wee bit o'Green. I coloured Genevieve's Dress with various Green Copic Markers along with some browns and greys, added some buttons, a modified bow, a Tim Holtz sentiment that inspired dreaming of great achievement all placed to fit the Get Sketchy design!
