TRY STAMPIN ON TUESDAY - TSOT506

Optional challenge - rainbows

Here's our sketch for you this week from Try Stampin on Tuesday and it's certainly a challenge.  I wanted to use the added extra of the rainbow challenge as well as my own twist on the sketch and this is what I came up with.

I started with an old piece of SU DSP which I coloured in the flowers in the colours of the rainbow.  I then used one of the flowers from Wendy Vecchi called Country Flowers.  I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to ink the flower up in all the various rainbow colours.  I added some leaves and a mixture of colours for the butterfly and popped them up on dimensionals.

For the panel at the front I used a script stamp from Wendy Vecchi together with a word stamp from the set called Live and Make Art.  I used Ranger Archival Ink in Seafarer to stamp both.

I'm adding this into the following challenges also:

The Flower Challenge - favourite flower

HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS SC362

We have a great sketch for you today over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I started off by using some retired SU DSP Botanical Prints Product Medley.  I found some in my stash of papers and had to ask the girls on my SU Facebook Page The Joy of Sets to remind me of it's name!  I chose the black and white side of the paper and coloured it in with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Wilted Violet.

The image of the mice is from a set of stamps by Anita Jeram from the Colorado Craft Company - this set is called Birthday Wishing.  I masked off a circle and coloured it in with Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Milled Lavender and simply used black Archival ink from Ranger for the image of the mice.  I added some Tri Spectrum Sparkle pen to the present.

TRY STAMPIN ON TUESDAY - #TSOT478

Here's our sketch for you this week at Try Stampin on Tuesday - with the added challenge of making something spooky!  I don't really have many Hallowe'en stamps as it's not celebrated in the UK as much as in the USA, especially in terms of sending cards. So I had a little think and came up with this.  I started off with that lovely green cardstock and used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background.

I then took some old SU DSP which was black and white and coloured it with Tim Holtz Crackling Campfire.  The BOO letters are Tim Holtz shadow letters and they were stamped in Black Soot and SU Lemon and Lime Twist, adhered onto a stiched circle and then added to an SU doily also coloured in the same inks.  I added a few old SU sequins to finish off the card.
