Sunday Sketch: Turtle & winner

So here is the follow up on yesterday's post.

Inspired by Tricia's sketch

on her Efficient Crafter's blog

I went to work yesterday with my

 Club Scrap Wisteria papers

and Michael Strong's Lily stamp.

Today i will have three more cards

but this time I used Michael Strong's 

sea turtle stamp.

You need:

3x 12x12 pieces of cardstock

and 6 panels 4"x 5.25"

Of course Tricia made it assembly style,

so take another look for those instructions

at her blog HERE.

When you cut and assembly everything for the 

cards, you have material for 6 cards.

Here you see the tree cards I have made today.

This time I just used some extra paper to stamp the turtle on.

For this card I  stamped the sea weed

on the background with a darker green

and with a larger green I colored the paper

 with my blending tool.

The turtle is embossed with silver embossing poswder

and some puple on it's shield. The animal is coldored

with distress markers.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

Here I used the turtle in purple for

the background and only a little

seaweed is stamped and embossed in green

 on the small square.

The sentiment here is also by Club Scrap.

Here you see the same background as the

first card. And green embossing on

the back of the turtle who

is also colored with distress markers.

The jellyfish and the sentiment are Club Scrap.

And now for the winner of my blog candy:

the turtle stamp!

The winner is:

Saturday Sketch: Lily

Inspired by Tricia's sketch

on her Efficient Crafter's blog

I went to work with my

 Club Scrap Wisteria papers

and Michael Strong's Lily stamp.

You need:

3x 12x12 pieces of cardstock

and 6 panels 4"x 5.25"

Of course Tricia made it assembly style,

so take another look for those instructions

at her blog here.

When you cut and assembly everything for the 

cards, you have material for 6 cards.

So here are my finished cards.

I did not always keep exactly to the sketch,

but I did use all the elements.

Today I share the first three with you.

The first one has a background made with

alcohol ink

and the big lily stamp is colored with pencil.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

The 2nd card is a background done with

viva decor inka gold. On the dark purple

and on the inka gold the lily background stamp

 is stamped with versamark and embossed in

 orient express embossing powder.

Sentiment also by Club Scrap.

This last card is a;sp done with an alcohil ink 

background. The small lily stamp is from the 

stamp set Hannah's Busy Bee.

I am working on three more cards, but

I keep those for tomorrow.

See you then!

Have a creative day!

Saturday Sketch OWH 164

\\

This is one of the sketches from

Operation Write Home

This is an organization, that provides

cards for the US soldiers overseas that you make. 

You find all info here:

http://operationwritehome.org/welcome/

I choose this sketch for the June sketch

on the Enjoy Michael Strong stampgroup.

I hope that some of you will send your cards to

the OWH organisation.

Here is my card:

I used the cloisonné star stamp

by Michael Strong.

You find it here:

http://strongstamps.com/catalog-rubber-stamps-supplies/stamp343starStampSet.htm

It is a set of two, a large and

a small one. I used the smaller one.

It is embossed with white embossing powder

and a little red gemstone.

The background of the card is

done with a stripped embossing folder

and some white ink after the embossing.

Have a creative day!

Saturday Sketch card: OWH Sketch #171 Formula

These cards were made with

a formula I found on the 

Club Scrap Create blog.

It is the Operation Write Home

formula #171 and Tricia made a drawing

and gives some instructions

that I will copy here for you:

You need 4 pieces of matching cardstock

 of 5,5"x 11"

Chop this way:

1. Trim horizontally at 5.5".

2. Cut one 5.5x8.5 horizontally at 8.25, 5.75 and 3".
3. Cut the 3x5.5 horizontally at 5".
4. Trim the 2.75x5.5 horizontally at 4.5, 3 and 1.5".
5. Cut the 2.5x5.5 horizontally at 3.75, 2.5 and 1.25".
6. Score the remaining 5.5x8.5 horizontally at 4.25" and fold into a card base.

Combining all the pieces

I made these cards:

I used Club Scrap paper and ribbons from

the Bon Appetit kit June 2012.

The stamps are the

Cloisonné F;pwer by Michael Strong

as well as the sentiments.

The front flower is stamped and embossed in pink

and cut out with the matching die.

On top of the flower is a sticky gemstone.

On the burgondy panels the flower is stamped

with versamark. This gives a very light

touch of stamping.

Click on the photo to see a more

enlarged version. Here you see the

background with the flowers much better.

The black paper of the flower was colored 

with Viva Decor Inka Gold in the color

Platinum 904 before stamped on.

The sentiment on this card is by  Club Scrap.

For this card the pannels were colored with

the same Platinum Inka Gold.
