Another Card for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch Card Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm back with another card  for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 55.  I hope you are enjoying the sketch as much as I am. I think you can batch a lot of Holiday cards using this sketch.  Pink & Main is our sponsor this month for a $25 GC. That's so amazing.




On this card, I used this cute Gingerbread man from Pink & Main Sugar and Spice Holidays stamp set. I stamped the cute image on white cardstock using the measurement from the sketch using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored it in with my copic markers.  I think the elements for this sketch is great for a small image or ephemera.  My sentiment was stamped in black ink from Pink & Main Hello Winter Stamp.


I used some pattern paper from my stash using the sketch measurements and glued everything to a A2 card base.  I love this card.  I hope you join us this month you still have time and there is a amazing prize.  I love Pink & Main.  Just upload your card to the FB group in the album for sketch 55.

Spring Card Using Savannah Girl

 Hello and Happy Spring.  I have a card today using Savannah Girl from Unity Stamp Co. who is a Angie Girl by Angie Blom. I fell in love with this set when I saw it.  I might have shouted out loud.  And of course I hurried and made a card with it when I received it.



I first stamped and heat embossed Savannah Girl rubber stamp on x-press blending cardstock using Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I then colored her in using my alcohol markers.  Next, I cut my paper using my paper trimmer.  I then ink blended with some blue ink left on my blending brush from a previous project.  


I then used a notebook edge die from MFT Stamps.  I also used a foiled plate background from my stash.  This one is from Aly Syberia called Glowing Geometry using black foil on white cardstock.  The floral pattern paper is from Catherine Pooler that I cut to use as a layer.  The Clouds die is retired from MFT Stamps called Petite Clouds that I cut out with white cardstock. 



 Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Savannah Girl stamp using Versamark and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I fussy cut around it to fit better.  Next, I glued my foiled background to a A2 card base.  I also glued my floral pattern paper from Catherine Pooler's A Little Drizzle Paper Pad.  I popped up Savannah with foam tape and I popped up 2 clouds with foam tape.  My sentiment was also popped up with foam tape.  Everything was glued with liquid glue.  I love how my card came out, it was a lot of fun.

Card Sketch Using A St. Patrick's Day Gnome

 Hello I have a fun St. Patrick's Day Card today.  I used a Digital Stamp Illustrated by Crystal Minkler.  You can grab this Digital stamp for free if you are a Member of the Tawny Owl FB Group.  I chose to use my Gnome for the Top Inky Inspiration Sketch 30.





This is the Lucky Gnomie Digital Stamp Illustrated my Crystal Minkler isn't it cute?  I printed it on some Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds and then colored it with my alcohol markers.  I then fussy cut her out.


I found some Doodlebug Design Pattern Paper 6x6 in my stash.  I cut the flowers and stripes pattern paper according to the sketch 2 x 5 1/4.  I basically used 1 sheet double sided.  I like that the papers coordinate nicely. I used the Lucky Gnomie as my Any Shape.  The flower ephemera is also from Doodlebug and it's considered my other any shape.  


I found some Chevron Pattern paper A2 card bases in my stash,  so I used this as my 4 1/4 x 5 1/ 2.  I had the green sentiment strip in my stash using Taylored Expressions that I glued to a white strip as the card sketch.  I had so much fun with this card.  Thanks to Crystal for this fun sketch and digital stamp.  I also we be linking my card to the Simon Says Stamp A Bit O' Green Monday Challenge. I love using Pattern Paper and sketches for favorite techniques on my cards.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaking New March Card Sketch

 Hello everyone.  Happy March.  I know Spring is coming soon but we still need to be ahead with our Holiday cards. We have a brand New Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 55 for March.  It's such a wonderful design and perfect for your Holiday Cards and a perfect design to make whatever background you prefer. 





Pink & Main is our sponsor this month so great.  I chose to use Hello Winter stamp for my card.  I love all the images and sentiments but chose this one.  I stamped the snowman on white die-cut with Memento tuxedo ink ccording to the sketch measurements.  I also stamped a sentiment and with blue ink some of the snowflakes. I colored in the snowman with a mix of Copic and OLO markers.



I used a retired Thankful Paper Pad 6x6 from Pink & Main cutting some papers that I think looked wintery and according to the sketch.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and added some white gel pen accents to my snowman.  I hope you'll join us this month I'm so excited Pink & Main is our sponsor.  Upload your cards to our FB album.
