Sarah Kay Challenge #14

Here is my take on a wonderful sketch I found on Sarah Kay blog.

Once I had the image stamped and colored, I inked the edges with "Weathered Wood" Distress Ink and did the same for the mat, the horizontal strip, and the actual card. The pattern paper already had little orange in it so I added hint of it to the yellow polka dot paper. I was nearly ready to assemble the pieces when I found a piece of the blue lace paper and it was such a perfect match for the card I could not resist using it.

I really like the seaside feel of the card.

Beary Merry Christmas

When I first saw this cute bear stamp I immediately fell in love with it and had to have it. That was about 3 years ago and I have to admit I rarely used it during that time. Finally I found a design that really work for it.

It's a very simle design - pretty much just layering, yet very pleasing to look at. To add a bit more of interestingness I used handheld circle punch and carved edges of the two middle layers and I also spread little bit of stickles over the stars.

Best Friend card

I wanted more practise with coloring Tilda image so I created this quick and easy card. I used round corner punch to give the squares smoother look.

Title: Nothing fancy. I bought this letter set from a dollar store. The size was great for this card.

Happy Birthday

I was really excited to get my very first Tilda stamp and off I went to see what I can do with her. The very first card I created was a birthday card for a friend of mine. I had a bit hard time coloring her face. Not having any other medium of suitable colors, I used chalks by Pebbles. with set of new copic markers I purchased recently it will be way easier.

Holiday Hugs

I've bought the Holiday Hugs stamp last year just because I really liked it but never really got to use it so it was kind of like having a brand new stamp to play with this year. I stamped the image, colored it with my Copic Sketch Markers, then cut with Fiskars Shape Cutter.

The Squares were stamped with a snowflake image using VersaMark watermark ink pad.
