Tuesday Morning Sketch #681 Bird

 Dear Crafty Friends,

It has been some time since I did a sketch

and today I felt like doing one.

I choose this sketch from

  Tuesday Morning Sketches.

As you can see besides the sketch, it also

needs a bird. For my card I used all

materials by Tim Holtz.

I used Tim Holtz mini blueprint cms170 stamps

and colored them with markers. Papers are from a 

8x8 inch paperpad Christmas #TH94085.

On the pumpkin I did some glossy accent as

well as on the eye.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Tuesday Morning Sketch #562

Good Morning!

Eleven years ago the

  Tuesday Morning Sketch Blog 

was started on July 7, 2009. 

So with this sketch we celebrate 11 years of sketches.

I just got the new snarky cat stamp set by Tim Holtz and 

had to use it for this sketch. It has some hilarious sentiments.

For the background I used some design papers, but for 

the center piece I splashes some walnut stain distress

ink on white card stock, before stamping the cat.

On the cat I added also gold stella wink brush on his belly.

The sentiment is stamped and punched out with an oval punch.

For some bling 3 tiny sticky rhinestones are added.

Congratulations, Melissa on your accomplishment of

11 years of sketches. Hope many more will follow.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #559

This week it is my turn again to share a card I made

for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog.

I started out with the design paper (SU!) and the ribbon

and only a sentiment had to be added, 

but I found that too boring.

Than I came across the bird cage between my scraps

and just had to add it to the card as a more interesting 

focal pont for the card. The bird cage is a die by Tim Holtz.

The birds are punched out (an oldie by SU!)  and

decorated with a few silver gemstones.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp by Tim Holtz

from the Glorious Bouquet Set CMS 325.

keep crafting!

Good Morning!

Today I share with you my card for the

Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog.

Each Tuessday there is a new sketch

For my card I used some design papers from a block

of Making Memories from my stash. A big scallop 

square punch, golden leaves from SU! and a flower stamp

from Michael Strong Rubber Stamps. Inside the flower

I used a flower punch and a brad for fastening it to the background.

 The sentiment is a stamp is by Club Scrap.

Tuesday morning Sketch #555

Today I have some coffee news!!

Yes, there will be another coffee blog hop

organized by the wonderful Amy Tsuruta on the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

So as today is Tuesday and I design for the 

Tuesday Morning Sketches,

I wanted you to get in the mood for coffee.

I always am, you know that by now ;-)

Here is sketch #555 and you find all the other

samples of the design team on the

Tuesday Morning Sketch Blog.

For my card, I turned the sketch upside down

for I wanted to use this cute coffee cups die.

I layered 3 colors of cups on top oc each other,

behind the cute cat from Newton's Nook Design

stamp set called Newton Loves Coffee.

Hope you are inspired to play in the coffee blog hop

The Daily Marker day 14: Valentine

On this Valentine's Day I share with you the card 

I made for my husband.

Of course it is also for

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge.

And I used the sketch from 

Tuesday Mornings Sketches #490.

For the background of my card I used some gilding wax

on an embossing folder background.

The world I colored with distress oxide ink and Mica

distress silver spray.

Here the close up of the wax I used. I bought it on a 

craft fair.

The stamps I used are by Stampin'Up! from some years back.

The set is called Going Global.

The stars border is a piece of washi tape.

Thank you for looking 

and hope you all have a

creative and loving day!
