What If Wednesday - Repeat Impressions Sketch Challenge

It’s WHAT IF? Wednesday 

and time for a new sketch challenge! 

The sketch that Wendy designed for the Rock

Stars to follow is:

 

Here is my take on this sketch:

 

 I have used the "4318-K Stork" and the sentiment

"8601-E, Little One". I stamped the stork 4 times

onto cryogen white card stock and colored it with 

my copics. I then just cut them out and matted them 

onto a piece of yellow card stock.  I added a ribbon 

and a bow to finish off the card.

Head on over to the House That Stamps Built blog and 

see what the rest of the Rock Stars have created with

this great sketch.  While you are there why not enter

a creation that you have done following the sketch.

 

The rules are really simple......

Your card doesn’t even have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, 

but if you would like to include our designs we would really love to see them! 

Plus you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing

for using our stamps in your submissions! Simply create a 

card based on the sketch, upload your card to your blog

or Splitcoast gallery, then link your card to this post 

on The House That Stamps Built Blog.

Have Fun and I can't wait to see all the wonderful creations.

Sweet Stamps Sketch Challenge

Today our challenge at Sweet Stamps blog is to follow a sketch....

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber stamp you get two entries into the challenge for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree.  For my card, I decided to go with simple but elegant. Visit the design team blog and you will see what everyone on the Design team has done.

 I used a stamp from the new Botanical stamp collection called

"3040 Watercan Florals".  I used my Cheery Lynn Inverted

Scalloped Circles to cut out my mat behind my stamped image. 

I added a few pearls and VOILA card is done.

Here's a closeup of my colored image:

Sweet Stamps Embossing Challenge

It's time again for a NEW Challenge

over at Sweet Stamps Blog.  Our challenge this 

week is Embossing Heat or Dry. 

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber

stamp you get 2 entries into the challenge for a

chance to win a $20 shopping Spree.

 

I used a couple of Sweet Stamps Stamps on my 

card for this weeks challenge.  I used the

Sunflower Block Stitched 124 and sentiment

Beautiful Day 919.  I stamped the Sunflower block

2 times onto Cryogen Card Stock using Shades Dye

Ink in Rustic and Brownie . I took and cut out the 

sunflower that I stamped in Rustic ink and then 

popped it up onto the stamped image in Brownie ink. 

  I then stamped the Beautiful

Day sentiment using Shades Dye Ink in Rustic. 

I used the Cheery Lynn Large Rectangle Stitcher Plate to give the

dotted paper some embossing.  My Dp is from Basic Grey Wags

and Whiskers paper pad. And then I added some buttons to 

finish it off.

Here's a closeup of the Sunflower Block Stitched:

And a closeup of the Beautiful Day sentiment:

One last peek at my creation for this week's challenge over at

Sweet Stamps Challenge Blog.

Designer's Choice Challenge - Repeat Impressions

It's time for a new Challenge over at the House that Stamps Built! 

The Challenge is called Designer's Choice. 

Here's how the "Designer's Choice Challenge" will work!
All of the fabulous design team members for Repeat Impressions 

will be assigned a Wednesday, and we get to set the 

"theme" for the challenge!  The Theme for this

week's DCC is hosted by Lynette and she is challenging

 all of us to do a Father's Day card with Texture. 

Could be embossing, could be flower soft, could be glitter – 

anything that adds a little texture. 

 My very simple card today uses the SOTW "4134-K, His Words".

This was another HARD challenge for me as I usually like

to use alot of Bling and ribbon on my cards and most of

my stamps are flowers or girly stamps.  So after

going through my assortment of stamps, this sentiment 

popped out.  I stamped His Words onto white card stock

with black ink.  I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss my 

blue card stock, you can't really see the embossing in the

picture, but it is there.  I decided to add a ribbon, but instead

of the usual bow, I tied a knot.  

Here is a closeup of the "4134-K, His Words":

Such great words....

Take a peek at what the rest of the DT has created for

this great Challenge.

Sweet Stamps Wedding/Anniversary Challenge

It's time again for a NEW Challenge

over at Sweet Stamps Blog.  Our challenge this 

week is Wedding/Anniversary. 

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber

stamp you get 2 entries into the challenge for a

chance to win a $20 shopping Spree.

I used the Wedding Swans 3012.  I stamped it 

with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen Iridescent

White Card Stock and colored it with my Copics. 

I used the Marianne Designs Creatables Circle Frame

and Elements Dies 112 to cut out my colored image.

I left the paper in the die and used a sponge dauber to

add some Shades Dye ink in Satin Rose to bring out the

embossing from the die.  I added a few pearls to the corners

to finish it off.

Here's a closer look at the Wedding Swans:

Be sure to visit Sweet Stamps blog and see

Repeat Impressions What IF Wednesday Sketch Challenge

It’s WHAT IF? Wednesday 

and time for a new sketch challenge! 

The sketch that Wendy designed for the Rock

Stars to follow is:

Here is my take on this sketch:

 I kinda rotated the sketch for my card. 

I have used four Repeat Impressions Stamps

on my card today.  They are 2423-L Under the Sea,

4105-E Sea Turtle, 4102-D Sea Horse and

2412-E Small Tropical Fish.

 I stamped them onto Cryogen Card Stock and

colored them with my Copics. 

I used my Spellbinders Labels18 to make 

a frame for my colored image. 

If you haven't guessed it yet, my favorite color card stock

at the moment is this teal/aqua color.  I LOVE this color....

It is actually the color I painted my Craft room.....

Here's a closeup of my Under Water scene:

Head on over to the House That Stamps Built blog and 

see what the rest of the Rock Stars have created with

this great sketch.  While you are there why not enter

a creation that you have done following the sketch.

The rules are really simple......

Your card doesn’t even have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, 

but if you would like to include our designs we would really love to see them! 

Plus you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing

for using our stamps in your submissions! Simply create a 

card based on the sketch, upload your card to your blog

or Splitcoast gallery, then link your card to this post 

on The House That Stamps Built Blog.

Have Fun and I can't wait to see all the wonderful creations.
