Enjoy the ride

Hi!

It's Monday and that means it's time for a new sketch challenge over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

This is Challenge #14's sketch.

And as always I put my own spin on it.

Stamps: CTMH It's Your Day, My Sunshine
Paper: CTMH Dream Pop paper pack, White Daisy cardstock
Ink: Dylusions ink spray Vibrant Turquoise, CTMH Cotton Candy, Archival Black
Accessories: MFT Stamps Die-namics Flat Bottom Clouds
Techniques: masking

I've been really enjoying doing paint techniques on my cards lately. Are there any new techniques you've been doing lately? Or ones that are you're favorite stand by techniques?

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

E.T.A. I'm adding an additional challenge for this post as I'm going to enter this card into the Moxie Fab World: The Trendy Triangles challenge.

I think that the triangles on the patterned paper create more of a dramatic emphasis to the sentiment and stamped image on this card.

Because I care

Hi!

My DH is on a business trip. He's been gone for nearly a month.

So since I haven't started school yet and my microwave is broken. I've been venturing out of the house.

On one of my ventures I saw took a class at Archiver's, called Painted with Style. Sadly they didn't have the stamps available from the class but I am on the waiting list.

Today I remembered that I have this stamp set in my supplies. It doesn't have any cool brush strokes or circles but it does have these splotches. And I just had to play with my stamp set.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger: A Painterly Palette
SplitcoastStampers - CC432: Smoky Curry Cabana
Pile It On - Pile It On #29: Thinking of You/Just Because

Stamps: Recollections Script, SU! Best Yet
Paper: CTMH Slate cardstock
Ink: CTMH Archival Black, Lagoon, Buttercup, Slate
Accessories: CTMH stapler, staples, Studio18 Rhinestones, Darice B/W Script Washi Masking Tape, Queen & Co Trendy Tape, SU! Spiral punch

I'm still new to working with washi tape and this whole paint splatter thing. So please be constructive with your comments.

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

P.S. I forgot to include the Tuesday Trigger picture.

Y'all should definitely join in this challenge. It's so fun.

Love Never Faileth

Hi!

I hope y'all are having a wonderful Sunday.

I wanted to share with you a couple of cards that I created.

They are inspired by the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: A Little Romance

This is the inspiration picture:

And these are what I was inspired to create:

Stamps: Unity Stamp Company Cowgirl Up

Accessories: SU! Bird Builder punch, Jolee's Boutique Cream Felt Rose

Most of the items came from my stash. And other than that the only other thing I used on both cards was my sewing machine my hubby got me last Christmas.

Today it was a bear to use. The thread just kept coming out of the needle part. Ugh!!!

Don't you just hate when that happens?

Happy Crafting,
M.E.
