Freshly Made Sketches....Here's hoping they don't ban me from the competition for life

I have no idea how I feel about this card. I made the sunflower with my McGill punches and used my Tim Holtz On the Edge die for the bottom. The sunflower is big but it's quite pretty. I just don't know how the rest of this came together. SO...here's hoping my 'creation' isn't too difficult to deal with...I barely made the deadline and have been really been in a slump lately. Oh well...I'm just going to keep moving on!!

Mark's Finest Paper inspiration Challenge 'Wild Fashions'

Boy, did I have the right stamp for this challenge, huh? I used my Copics to color this wonderful butterfly dress. The sentiment was one I stumbled across on EBay and the label die is from Verve. 

Wedding Roses

I started by embossing only one side...I love the juxtaposition of the smooth and the embossed. To me, the smooth side begins to look like a stage!

I used Cuttlebug Paper Lace 2 EF on SU! Whisper White. I used a Spellbinders die as the 'frame' for the SU! Love & Laughter Wedding Dress, which is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and fussy cut. 3 small roses from MFT small rose die and some greenery cut from Martha Stewart Evergreen Punch, which I glued using Glossy Accents, gave me the pop of color I wanted. Everything is popped up on mounting tape (which I have an addiction to and my life has become unmanageable (just practicing-heh heh) I'm entering this in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to 'Emboss It!'

Splitcoast Stampers Try a New Technique

Today was use kraft paper, white emboss image and use waterbrush and ink to color. I began by using my while gel pen to create a frame on the Kraft paper. After white embossing my PSX roses stamp, I used my waterbrush and Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint. I used a stamp from SU! Thank You Kindly set and cut the sentiment with MFT labels die. I also used SU! Raspberry Ripple to mount the design. A green embellishment finishes it off.
