Fabulous Florets Birthday

Welcome to Sunday and another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  I've been saying that, or at least something like that for the past two years on my blog every Sunday.  Unfortunately it is going to be my last time saying it.  It has been decided that we are going to stop our weekly Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge blog.  However I do have one last card to show you.  Don't forget to check out what my fellow Red Hot Stampers have made HERE one last time too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Lovely as a Tree Anniversary

Today's card is the first card I made for Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I love using blues when I'm doing a winter scene and trying to do just the right shading on the hills.  However I wanted to make another card because I forgot to check the theme.  I could have left it, but wanted to do both the sketch and the theme. :)

I did just a little bit on the inside too.  Sometimes I just like to add pics on the inside so I don't have to write so much (plus it just looks nice).  It's not that I don't like writing notes.  I just don't always know what to say or feel like I'm always writing the same thing in every card. lol

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

TSOT Autumn in the Air

Today is Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge.  I whipped up a card and was happy with it until I realized I forgot to check out the theme!  My card was suited more for winter than for autumn in the air!  So I went back to the drawing board.  I just could NOT come up with something that had those dots!  Well I made them stars on my first card, so I decided to do the same with my second card.  I've been seeing a lot of orange, black and purple cards out there for Halloween too so I decided to go with that color theme for my card and sponge the colors on, then add the stars in the night sky using a gel pen.  As you can see I also rotated this card.  My other one is vertical and I'll have to show it to you some other time this week. :)

Don't forget to check out what the design team made using this sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday HERE.  If you're game give it a try and show us what you've made too. :)

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge card!  I must say I feel carded out lately and went with something pretty simple.  I used the aqua painter brush and colored in my flowers.  That was the only part that took a little bit of time.  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made using this same sketch.  Check them out HERE. :)

Express Yourself Birthday

This is another one of my September stamp a stack cards. Yes, I used a retired set again, but it's my all time favorite fall set.  I sponged all of the color onto the stamps instead of putting the stamp directly on the ink pad.  It blends the colors together well and doesn't make it quite as dark.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It seems like I'm in a flower making mood the past couple of days.  Maybe it's because I know before long they'll be gone, and I want to enjoy the last little bit of my flowers outdoors while I can.  And that just puts me in the mood to make them...who knows. lol  Since I wanted to make a rose I thought the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge was the perfect sketch to put it on.  I also used the ColourQ Challenge for my card's colors.  They were definitely a challenge for me and I wanted to see what I could come up with using them.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
