Wool You Be Mine?

 

I've got another sweet pun and anadorable little kitty today for the Freshly Made Sketches, Colour Throwdown and Simon Says Wednesday (Anything Goes) challenges.  This set from Hero Arts is so cute and has 4 adorable kitties to choose from.  I wanted to add some texture to the card base with a knit type stamp or embossing folder but don't have anything like that so I went for this pattern from Lil' Inker Designs which was as close as I could get.  (And I like how it turned out!)

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Dapper Denim) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Knitting) Hero Arts

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Rectangle) Spellbinders, Coverplate) Lil' Inker Designs

Markers:  (RV10, C1, C3) Copic

Other:  (Nuvo Blushing Red Crystal Drops) Tonic

You Sweep Me Off My Feet

 

Today's card is for CAS Colours & Sketches.  I'm still on a Valentine kick so I dug out this old Fresh Squeezed Stamps set.  I've used a couple of stamps from the set but not this broom and the fabulously punny sentiment.  This was a quick one to put together.  I think fussy cutting the broom took longer than anything else.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Papers:  (Crush 6x6) We R Memory Keepers

Stamps:  (All from A Punny Valentine) Fresh Squeezed Stamps

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko, (Sand Dunes, Rocky Shores) Altenew

Dies:  (Stitched wavy line) Mama Elephant

Markers:  (E31, E35, E37, E43) Copic

Other:  (Nuvo Red Berry Crystal Drops) Tonic

Bah Humbunny

 

I have a couple of cards today inspired by the Addicted to Stamps and More Christmas challenge.  These grumpy holiday bunnies from Honey Bee Stamps still manage to be adorable despite their moodiness.  I had fun colouring them and their accoutrements and putting some ancient patterned papers to use for the backgrounds.  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Patterned Papers:  Various

Stamps:  (All from Bah Humbunny) Honey Bee Stamps

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Flag, oval) My Favourite Things, (Speech bubble) Lawn Fawn, (Letters) Mama Elephant

Markers:  Copic

Lacy Birthday

 

I only recently discovered the Colour Hues challenge and Lindsey has been encouraging me to play along.  I was really struggling with my mojo when I sat down to make a card for the current navy and cream challenge and after far too long spent dithering over it I ended up with this.  My photo is overexposed as this looks very white.  It's actually PTI Vintage Cream cardstock.  I really wanted to add some yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops to the centres of the flowers but obviously that would defeat the purpose of the challenge.  Looking at it now perhaps some clear gems or silver Nuvo drops in the centres would have added that little something that seems to be missing.  Something to remember for the future I guess.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink, (Night of Navy) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Flowers from Frosted Garden) Altenew, (Sentiment from Labeled Messages) Mama Elephant

Inks:  (Juniper Mist) Catherine Pooler

Dies:  (Lacy coverplate) Lil' Inker Designs

Hogs & Kisses

 Today's card is for the sketch challenge at the Paper Players.  Yay for using up some patterned paper and also for finally using that sentiment!  I'm pretty sure it's main reason I bought that stamp set all those years ago and I've finally used it.  Yaaaaassssss!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Melon Mambo, Real Red, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Crush 6x6) We R Memory Keepers

Stamps:  (Pig from Hog Heaven) My Favourite Things, (Sentiment from Hogs & Kisses) The Craft's Meow

Inks:  (VersaMark, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Embossing Powder:  (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow

Dies:  (Heart) Taylored Expressions

Markers:  (RV29, R11, R20) Copic

Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic

You Stole My Heart

Today's card is for the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.  I replaced the rectangles with hearts and then Copic coloured and popped up this adorable little bear from Lil' Inker Designs.  The speech bubble is also popped up and I threw in a few Nuvo dots to highlight the sentiment.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Lovie Friends) Lil' Inker Designs

Butterfly Love

 

A quick CAS card for the My Favourite Things sketch challenge and the Colour Throwdown.  Now that I look at it on the screen I may have taken too much liberty with the sketch when I moved the stripes much closer together.  I might have to go back and revisit it if I have a chance.  I used a Neat & Tangled cover plate die for the black stripes and a favourite MFT butterfly die with a MFT sentiment stamped in Perfect Plum ink.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink, (Perfect Plum, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamp:  (Sentiment from You Give Me Butterflies) My Favourite Things

Ink:   (Perfect Plum) Stampin' Up

Dies:  (Butterfly) My Favourite Things, (Stripes) Neat & Tangled
