Feb SID- Stand Tall

Welcome to my card for February's Stick It Down sketch. Here is a look at the sketch...


Here is my take on the sketch. I used pattern stamps to create the side strips. Using the same colors I stamped the flamingo scene on a die cut oval. Inked up the edges for a little more definition from the cardbase.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you make with our February sketch. Don't forget we also have two sketches for scrapbook layouts if you scrap too!

Here is my card for MLC February challenge! I found a sketch that I had saved on a pinterest board and decided to use that as my jumping point. I have accumulated a lot of product over the years, so I'm hoping to make a good dent in then unused and half used items in my stash. Do you have that problem? This card is start to using items that have be partially used and collecting dust. ;-)  

Hope you join us this month, the challenge is as always anything goes as long as it's Christmas! See you over on the MLC blog! Here's to using up some stash! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!!

DEC SID- Winter Wishes

Here is the December card sketch for Stick It Down.


Instead of doing ribbon or strips of paper I decided on using layers of vellum to create the breaks from the sketch. I white embossed some snowflakes on the card before adding color with some Distress Oxide inks and spritzing the panel with some water. I then heat embossed my sentiment on some vellum, tearing the paper for some added texture to the edges. I then layered the vellum onto my card panel, before adhering it to my card base. To finish the card I added some wooden silver snowflakes to the front.

Thanks for stopping by and please stop by the blog to see what my other teammies have created and play along with us! Have a great day and Merry Christmas!

NOV SID- Thanks

Hello and welcome the Stick it Down Nov Sketch!!!

I loved the ink drip look on the Sketch this month and new I wanted to use a set I got from Hero Arts a year or two ago. I thought it was perfect for the sketch and this time of year! Since the stamp set is a layered set I started by stamping the more solid letters using distress oxide inks and then spritzed them with water, letting the water help the color drip down. Once it was dry I took the outlined layer of the letters and stamped in a dark brown... as well as the smaller parts sentiments. I then trimmed my sentiment panel and adhered it to my card base. Love the look and the Thanks take the stage on my card so to speak. ;-)

Hope you play along with us this month and every month over at SID, we have 3 new sketches every month... 2 for scrappers and 1 for cardmakers! I can't wait to see you take on the sketches this month. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
