#FMS421

Hello and welcome back to the blog.  Today was kinda one of those days, I've been dealing with a lot of back, hip and knee paid lately.  No matter how I sat I just couldn't get it to let up. So I wound up taking some pain meds, which for me is a big deal. I got to my desk just long enough to create something wonderful to share.  Thank God for this! Keeping it short today. On to the card for today.

I started off by picking another stamp from Altenew's Poppy Garden (I love this set so much) and going to Freshly Made Sketches to see what the sketch of the week was. Jen M. made this really cool sketch #FMS421 with a circle (any shape) and a square with rounded corners. So to fit the sketch I draw an outline with one side round and the other square.  I colored the poppy in with Copics in YR09 and YR27and fussy cut it. I stamped the smaller image in the background along with a Silver glitter pen and some paint splatters in the background.  The sentiment is from Best Sentiments. 80lb White cardstock and Obsidian Black ink were also used on today's card.

Let's pray
Heavenly Father thank you for the blessings, for crafting and the people who love to share and create, for art that bring so many of your children together to celebrate the gifts you have given us. 
Amen

Hello and welcome back to the blog. Today I've got my take on the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, but will get to that in just a moment.  First up, the day was crazy, I didn't get much sleep last night napped too long and too late! So today I only got a few hours of sleep.  However, I did manage to crafty chat with Jeanne, convince the hubby to take me to Home Depot to look at the cost for the back porch (it's more of a landing with 2 steps), but I need to start working on a sketch to explain to him what I'm thinking so we can go from there. The porch is going to cost about 600.00 but we have some of the materials already which makes it that much easier.  Anywho... Onto today's card!

This week at Freshly Made Sketches Jen T has a fabulous sketch for us.  So I used the equally fabulous Paint A Flower: Poppy stamp set from Altenew. Along with one piece of a print from their Reflection paper pad. I've been waiting for the perfect sketch to come along to use the graphic print, along with the right imagery to make it pop.  Along with some of my favorite Copic alcohol markers and Obsidian Black ink. To get any of the products used on today's post click the links to your right, which will take you to each of my affiliate shops.

Below is a close up of how I colored the poppy with R39, R29, R24, N4, N5, YG63, G28, G24.  The red paper in the background is from my stash. The sentiment is also from PAF: Poppy stamp set. 

Have an amazing day! Be thankful and loved as you've been loved by our heavenly Father.

FMS Challenge 386

Hello and good evening!

Today I've found a wonderful sketch by
Freshly Made Sketches and decided to give it a try!


Let's get to it :)

For my card today, I grabbed lots of my favorite Altenew products, along with some of their woodgrain cardstock in powder and the amazing Blooming Bouquet. I figured out an angle to work with my large sentiment from the stamp set, which I did in black ink.  The other images, flowers, and leaves were done in copics and as a final touch, I included some gold stretchy twine. I really love the florals and sketch!  

I hope that you've had a wonderful day, time for prayers and then bed!

My take on RG Studio 360 - Foxy Fall

For my card and project today, I've used lots of copics for my coloring. For the bear I used, E00, E11, E34, E74. next up is the feathers B01, BG18, BG23, BG32, BG34.  For the fox, I used N9, E09 and for other highlights, I used RV52 and BV000. 

For a bit of texture, I ran some twine on top of my cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine. My star got a little extra touch with a bit of color from Altenew and a large wax brush.

Some additional touches here and there, like printed paper, washi, and twine!

For the treat box, I did a simple 6x6 piece of gray cardstock (sample in white) and scored at every 2 inches once, then turned my cardstock and repeated the scoring. Once I had those done, I scored from corner to corner twice.  Here are some images to help you make one.

I used the small sitting Fox on my box along with the Give Thanks sentiment.

With matching printed paper, and washi from my card these two would make the perfect gift set.

I just love how cute they turned out.
