Pink Trellis

 Hello All and Happy Fourth of July Week! 

With it still being furnace-like outside, I am once again inside crafting.  It has been quite some time since I participated in an Altenew Challenge, but since I just got some Altenew goodies, I wanted to play along.  

I was inspired by several parts of this picture.   Of course the pink flowers, but also the pale blue curtain and the Moroccan style white lattice.  I was also inspired by the brass items and embossed the 'thanks' in brass.  

I used the following products~

Altenew Cascading Flowers Stamp Set

Altenew Dainty Leaves Die Set

Altenew Sulfur Cosmos Stamp Set

Altenew Rustic Charm Propject Kit

Sizzix retired cover plate die

Copic Markers

Tim Holtz Speckled Egg Distress Spray

Fly Away

 Hello and Happy Summer!  

While I should be organizing my craft room, I am crafting in it instead.  It's good getting back into crafting and with the hot steamy weather, I 'd rather be inside.  

Today's card is a vintage birthday card for a boy.  I used this sweet old Penny Black image and colored it with Copics, then fussy cut him out.  

I used the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge~

I embossed the background panel with an old Spellbinders embossing folder.  The decorative background panel was die cut out with my Penny Black Classy Frames Die.  A couple of flag die cuts ground the image.  

The sentiment was pieced together with two sentiments, the first one being from PTI.  Other brand is unknown.

I am also linking up to Just Us Girls Challenge, as I used my 'must have' Classy Frames Dies from Penny Black.  I'm guessing they are from 2 or 3 years ago. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tiffany Blue and Blessed

 Hello Friends!  

After a few weeks of travel, I am trying to get back to card making.  Today's card uses the Freshly Made Sketches sketch.  

Here is the sketch I used.  

The sentiment is from Unity Stamps, Ginko foliage is a retired set from Impression Obsession and the bird is from Creative Worship Stamps.  Images were colored with Copics and fussy cut out.

Celebrations

 Hello Friends! 

It's been quite some time, but I am hoping to finally be back to some steady crafting.  June is celebration month- graduations, showers, weddings, and for me, retirement!  I am so excited to enter this period of my life.  First up, I needed a graduation card for my nephew, who just graduated with his master's degree in social work.  

Loving how this turned out- I dug through my stash and used an old Spellbinders stamp set.  Collage style cards have always been a challenge for me, but this set makes then pretty easy.  

The truck is colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  The 'Bravo' die cut is a retired die from Stamplorations.  

I used the sketch from TGIF Challenges (I rotated the sketch)
