Caged bird

Hi!

Today over on Handmade Harbour we've got a fun new challenge for everyone. The theme is Anything Goes.

For today's card I used a couple of different techniques

• I sponged ink onto the card
• used my sewing machine
• and used colored pencils along with Gamsol

I really like the result. 

Stamps: Handmade Harbour 102 digital stamp - birdcage in branches
Color Medium: CTMH Pacifica, Martha Stewart Eucalyptus, Sea Green, Daffodil, Cinnamon, Starfish, Bubble Gum, Persimmon 
Accessories: Lil' Sew & Sew, Gamsol, CTMH Round Sponge

What do you think? 

Have you ever used so many various techniques on the same project?

We'd love to have you play along with us over at the Handmade Harbour blog. And if you use a Handmade Harbour image you are eligible to win a prize.

If you don't have any there is a FREE one available HERE. 

Happy Crafting,

Happy cloudy day

Hi!

This is a super fun blog with some wonderful sketches. And I'm not just saying that.

Which is why I'm so happy that the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge was started.

My card today reflects some of my classic standby loves and some new loves to.

Stamps: CTMH It's Your Day set
Paper: CTMH White Daisy, scraps
Ink: CTMH Cotton Candy

You should definitely stop by and check out this fun sketch and the DT creations.

We'd love to see what you create with this sketch whether it be a card, page layout, or 3D project.

So stop on by and pay us a visit at the Atlantic Hearts blog.

Happy Crafting,

dove love

Hi!

I love this card. Mostly because it uses a lot of punches and die cuts.

The hearts are made with my Sweet Heart Maker (Creative
Memories). The doves are Martha Stewart, I got them at the after
Christmas sale at Micheal's.

The stamp is by Studio G. The Glitter Glue on the hearts in the stamp
is also by Studio G.

I used the Sketches! by tamara Card Sketch #81 to create this card.

Materials Used:

Stamps: Studio G

Paper: CM Cardstock Cranberry, White, Doodlebug Glitter Cupcake cardstock

Ink: VersaColor VC-82 Black, Studio G Glitter Glue

Accessories: Quickutz Nesting Flowers CC-FLOWERS-01, SU! Ticket Corner punch, Martha Stewart Dove punch, CM Sweet Heart Maker, CM Tearing Tool, SU! button

Happy Crafting.
