Lilypad Lake Sketch Challenge

This is project #3 from my Crafting with Tracy. It seems like each time we have one that just kills us for the day, this is that one!

~Enjoy!

---

We chose a sketch challenge from Global Design Project, and Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy as out color pallette. We also chose Lilypad Lake as the stamp set.

My card came together quite easily, while Tracy struggled with hers. Although to be fair, I cheated a little & moved my sentiment down on the card. I colored the sails with Stampin' Write Markers since it was such a small area to color. and all of the edges are roughed up with a scissor edge and the small squares and sentiment are lightly sponged with balmy blue. The sentiment is from my stash. The Baker's Twine also came from my retired Night of Navy twine, but the Whisper White baker's twine could easily be colored with the Night of Navy Blends Marker. Don't forget to go check out Tracy's card at Stuff-n-Thingz!

#simplestamping with Abstract Impressions

Here is another project from my Crafting with Tracy.

~Enjoy!

---

We always like to start the day with a simple creation and neither of us are great at simple stamping! We always need more layers & embellishments! More, more, more!

We chose Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick. Tracy was dying to use and create an item she had seen with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set, but since I did not own that one I chose to use Abstract Impressions, which I love, wow did the cards come out very different! You should see Tracy's beautiful card! Mine is a simple row of Daffodil flowers with a Granny Apple swish of grass and a Lipstick sentiment and butterfly. Nothing is ever finished off until there is a little rhinestone bling and wrapped with some Linen Thread & bow.

I was so inspired by Tracy's card I tried to replicate it with the stamps from Abstract Impressions, because her set was distINKtive, they still came out very different. But I love them both! I added some flower centers from Colorful Seasons and some pen strokes from Stampin' Write Markers. This time I added the Whisper White Baker's Twine to top it off.

Timeless Textures meets A Million & One

Crafting with Tracy days are always one of my favorite days! Here are the creations we made & the inspiration behind them!

~Enjoy!

---

The first card of the day was a color challenge with Pretty Peacock, Sahara Sand and Terracotta Tile and we also decided also on a sketch challenge from Paper Craft Crew.

We did not pick a stamp set for this challenge, so I chose Timeless Textures for the flourish, one of my all time favorites, and the little dots are from Waterfront. The sentiment is from the Million & One set. The Pretty Peacock oval cut from Layering Ovals Dies is embossing using the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Most of the edges are roughed up with my scissor edge and sponged with Sahara Sand. I added some rhinestones colored with Crumb Cake Blends Markers and the whole thing is tied up with a little Linen Thread and a bow. Don't forget to go check out Tracy's card at Stuff-n-Thingz!
