Tuesday Morning Sketches #598

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 You would never believe how long it took me to make this relatively simple top fold card.  I wanted to duplicate the postage stamp die cut in the sketch.  Only one problem, I don't have a postage stamp die.  I do have a set of scalloped border dies from Pink and Main.  How hard could it be to make that shape with a border die?  Pretty darn hard! I'm sure I spent well over an hour making that one piece of this card. Next time I see a stamp die on sale, I am buying it!

 The Penny Black fussy cut bunny was colored with water color pencils and markers then blended. The sentiment stamp is CTMH, dp is from SU, the large scalloped border is from P&M also, and the embossing folder is by Darice.

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at

Outlawz Progressive Challenge March 2021

 For the March Outlaws Progressive Challenge, participants in the February Progressive Challenge were given a darling Paper Nest Dolls digital image, Lulu Bee, to use. 

 

I used a stitched rectangle die from ODBD, a Momenta sentiment die, and a Sizzix corner die, with inlaid glitter pieces. The image was colored with markers and watercolor pencils.  The wings have a heavy coating of clear Wink of Stella.

Isn't that bee paper great?  I couldn't resist buying just one sheet even though I have enough paper to last several lifetimes!  

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for visiting!

Double Trouble Magic

 In sorting through my Easter stash yesterday, I came across a little envelope of gnomes, colored on white glitter paper, and already to pop onto a card.  What a perfectly magical find for the current Double Trouble Challenge #79!

I've used metal stitched rectangle dies from Our Daily Bread Designs and a word die from Momenta to complete the card, so I've also completed the requirements to enter Challenge #165 at Dies R Us.
