Sketch Saturday Challenge #273

 

Happy Saturday!  We have a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday.  

Our sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy Designs.

 Here is Sketch #273 (designed by Jen):

 Here is my interpretation:

 

I saw a fence in the border detail of the sketch.  I used a PTI picket fence die that I've had for quite some time.  So nice to finally use it :D

I stamped the fence with a woodgrain background from A|Muse and PTI soft stone ink.  I was hoping for a white washed fence look, with a hint of the woodgrain showing thru.  One more thing I've had for some time and finally used it.

The image is from Oak Pond Creations, an image that I won in a challenge.  This image is called "Marie's Strawberries".  I love strawberries.

Supplies --

Taylored Expressions - Dad Tools

Today, I have the card made from my Dad's 90th birthday!  I used a stamp from Taylored Expressions called "Dad Tools".  He loved tools and could fix anything back in the day.  He also did a lot of woodworking after retiring.  The 3 patterned papers are from Simple Stories Aweso{me} paper pad.

I stamped "Dad" on a piece of Kraft and Xpress It cardstock with Mementos black ink.  The kraft cardstock was cut with a nestabilities die, then stamped with a woodgrain stamp (A|Muse) using dark chocolate (PTI) ink.    

I colored the "Dad" stamped on the white XPress It cardstock with Copic markers and cut each tool out them paper pieced them on the woodgrain base. The image was matted with PTI Enchanted Evening cardstock and screw head snaps were added in each corner.

Supplies --
Stamp: Taylored Expressions "Dad Tools", A|Muse woodgrain background

Sketch Saturday Challenge #269

We have a new sketch challenge today at Sketch Saturday!  This week our sponsor is Stamp Fairy and they generously let us pick a digi to work with.  I chose Charlie - Happy Life and there is a free bone download to go with him.  I thought it was perfect for this weeks sketch.

Here is Sketch #269 (designed by Jen):

I followed the sketch pretty literally this week. The patterned paper is a digital paper from Clearly Digi Stamps, part of Shih-Tzu.   The paper was cut like the sketch and the corners were rounded. 

I layered 2 circles and popped the dog and bone on the front.  This card came together pretty quickly.

Supplies --

Digi Paper: CDS Shih-Tzu

Cardstock: PTI Kraft, Vintage Cream, Enchanted Evening
