Freshly Made Sketches 361 Challenge

Another day, another challenge!

Today's card is going to be linked to the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

The sketch is below and my card is my interpretation of it.

I'm also linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Flicker Challenge Let Your Stencils Shine.

 

Today I'm trying to link all the cards I made at a crop this past weekend to the challenges that are ending in the next day or so. I think right now I have three including this one that I have to link. 

I had to wait until I got home to get decent photos so I could submit them. 

I make a lot of backgrounds when I don't know what I want to do while in my craft room. I usually toss them into a container until I decide if I'm going to use them for a card or die cut sentiments from them. I was able to use a few of my backgrounds this past weekend and create cards!

For this card I used a PaperTrey Ink stencil along with distress oxide ink to create a watercolor background. The colors I used were wild honey and crushed olive. 

I die cut some garden greens using a Tim Holtz thinlet die from Sizzix. I've started die cutting more and just tossing them in a container for use on cards at a moments notice. 

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. The set is called Handlettered Encouragement. I love all stamps from Simon Says Stamp. They are one of my favorite companies.

I finished off the card with some cork bling from Recollections. 

That's it! Now on to the next card!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #167

One of my goals for 2015 is to participate in more challenges. I really enjoy doing them. I got away from doing a lot of the things I love the last few years because of other happenings that have gone on in my life. I think I'm off to a pretty good start so far and it's not even the new year yet :)

This card is for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #167. Super easy, fun sketch to work with! I used a mixed trio of patterned paper from October Afternoon that I picked up at this years warehouse sale. I love plaid! To be honest.....I really didn't need any more paper. I have so much that I will more than likely never use it all in my lifetime. I could probably also say that about all my other scrapbook related products. Unfortunately that doesn't stop me from buying more!

I used a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs for my sentiment and for the small label shape I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Large Labels die. The enamel dots and stickers are from My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon. Base cardstock is from PaperTrey Ink.
