FFC #143 "It's Sketch Time"


Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to another Fun~day Friday Challenge!!


 This week's Challenge:
"It's Sketch Time"

Create a card, layout or project with
this week's sketch!

Our Sponsor this week is:
Robyn's Fetish
The winner will win 3 digital stamps of their choice from their online shop!

 So make sure to play along this week~

    Starts: Friday, June 17th 12:00AM

Ends:  Friday, June 24th   6:00PM
(Eastern time)

I had the pleasure of working with an adorable little sailor bunny, "S.S. Hoppity" and I flipped the sketch upside down for my card. 
  

My image was colored with my prisma colored pencils and I used some mineral spirits to blend. I created the sun in my image because this adorable bunny is smiling and I imagined him enjoying the beautiful sun beating down on him as he set sail on his voyage. My image was cut out using the Layering Circle Framelit Dies from Stampin' Up. This new set of dies comes with the regular circles and the scallops! All of my paper came from the same 6x6 paper pad by Fancy Pants called, "Down by the shore". To finish off the card I added some faux stitching using my white paint pen. I added a few silver sparkly embellies to 3/4" circles that I punched out on some of the yellow patterned paper from the paper pad.  Then I added a few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and used two word stickers from Graphic 45's "Voyage beneath the sea" to create my sentiment. Oh and I also added some sparkle to the sun and the sea using my Spectrum clear sparkle pen. I hope you like!

Dies R Us Challenge #51 "Butterflies"








Hello sweet friends! 
Welcome to a new challenge at Dies R US and I sure hope that your day is going well. This is my first challenge in a couple of weeks, as I was having a  lot of health issues. I am happy to once again, be on my way to getting well. So are you excited for another challenge??? This week's challenge requires us to use butterflies on our projects! So here is what I came up with.


I used "Alison's Ribbons Dies", by "Cheery Lynn Designs" which can be found in the Dies R Us store HERE ... , to create a beautiful border that I will use later on my card.  I used the retired Stampin Up stamp called "corner garden" and stamped it in versamark on some Canson watercolor paper. I then heat embossed with some white embossing powder and let it sit a minute. I used my Tim Holtz distress inks in various colors to watercolor in my image. I made sure to dry my image with the heat gun for a minute before wiping away the extra ink laying on top of the embossed image. The butterflies and the sentiment came from another Stampin Up stamp set called, "Watercolor Wings". The butterflies were stamped in various distress inks to build up the color I wanted and then I worked the color with a paintbrush and a little bit of water. I added some sparkle to the butterflies and some of the flowers with my Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen. The sentiment was stamped with Ranger's archival black ink. Next I added that beautiful border that I made in the beginning using the "beautiful Alison's Ribbons Dies", to the left side of my card front and then adhered the finished card front to a piece of crumb cake cardstock by Stampin' Up. The card measures 5 inch by 5 inch. I just love the pop of color this gives for a great finishing detail! To finish off my card, I added some trails to the butterflies and added a few sparkling clear sequins in various sizes from Pretty Pink Posh. Here are a couple more photos.

  

Well that is all I have for you today my friends. I appreciate you for taking time out of your day to visit me and see what I am up to. Please don't forget to stop by the Dies R US challenge blog to see what the rest of my design team sisters have created for you today. And make sure to link up your own project too!
