Lovely in Lavender

 Hello Friends, 

I love this stamp from Altenew.  I don't usually use purple much, but I decided to give it a go and love the result.  

Stamp is Majestic Bloom, stamped with Memento Ink, colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  The leaves are from the Wallpaper Art Stamp Set (which is currently 20% off).  They are stamped in Lava Rock ink from the Warm Grey Cube Set.  

A layer of patterned paper and a beautiful sentiment from Stamp Simply stamped with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink finishes this CAS card-it is one of my classic go-to card sketches.  Versafine Claire in is by far the best black in for deep, rich black color, only one or two stamps needed for solid images, and is now my go to for sentiments.  Never thought I would switch, but here we are.

CAS Sympathy

 Hello, 

Sympathy cards are always hard to do.  I try to have some made up in advance.  A friend requested some as well, so I am trying to create a stash.  

The IO Magnolia Slimline Stamp is still my go to and lives on my desk top, lol.  I love the versatility of it.  This is a one layer card, using a stencil, stamp and sentiment stamp.  

The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I then stamped a mask as well, fussy cutting it out.  With the mask applied, I sponged on some grey-brown ink.  

Then the mask was removed and I colored the image with Copics.  I used the color palette from Sunday Stamps~

The sentiment is from the With Sympathy Stamp Set from Avery Elle.  The entire panel was die cut with Divinity Design's Pierced Rectangle Dies.  

A few sequins were added for sparkle.

Spring Branches

 Hello, Hello!

Do you find yourself using a certain stamp over and over again?  I certainly do and this gorgeous floral is my current go to.  

I have used the IO Magnolia Slimline Stamp.  I stamped one end of it from the left side of the panel.  Then I stamped the center/other end of the slimline stamp on another sheet of paper and colored both images in with Copics.  The large flowers were fussy cut out along the top edge of the image and added to the background panel.  

I used scrap cs to add dimension to the top panel.  The sentiment is from Simply Stamps and I think is just stunning.  I added some bling and called it done.  

I am linking up to the following challenges~

The Card Concept~I was inspired by the flowers and colors and made a clean and layered card.

Easter Gnome

 Hello All!

It's spring break week for me and the weather is perfect for yard work and all things spring.  I did a little crafting to celebrate my first official day off.  

I used a sweet little gnome die (IO Stamps Easter Gnomes Dies).  I have him holding a tulip which I die cut with Spellbinders Artful Tulip Dies.  The background is stamped with the IO Wildflowers Slimline Stamp.  

The whole thing is framed with a MFT Stitched Rectangle Scalloped Edge Frame Die.  Sentiment is SnSS.  A few SSS Moonshine Sequins finish the card.
