The House That Stamps Built: Sketch

 It's sketch week at The House That Stamps Built.  I thought this would be a

difficult sketch until I chose my image and got started and it was easy

and fun!  So get inky and join in the challenge.

I pick a focal image: Repeat Impressions 9009-F, Butterfly (sm), 

embossed and fussy cut x3, apatterned paper pack that

 I spotted recently on sale and just had to have,

Backyard Table, cut to fit the image, did a bit of distressing and

die cutting and I was done!

I hope you will join in the challenge.  Remember, your creation doesn’t have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if it is, you will get an additional entry in the drawing for a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate this month! Take part in one weekly challenge or in all.

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

Inspiration week at The House That Stamps Built:

I have to say this week was a challenge. I've made galaxy and night scenes before with

no difficulty, this time it was quite a challenge.  My first attempt was almost complete,

and then water splatter time, dipped my paint brush and over my little tub of

water went, yes you guessed it right on to my background.  I actually like the

look and you will eventually see it on a card.  Second attempt, I decides a

glitter spritz would look nice in the sky, wrong.  So here you go with

the third attempt:

Supplies: Repeat Impressions:2709-I, Large Pine Forest, Distress Oxide

Inks: Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac, Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber and

 Mystery blue in Faded Jeans container, White chalk in.

 

Join in the challenge for a chance to win the monthly drawing for a

$25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate.  Cards made with

Repeat Impressions stamps get an extra entry.

Pattern Paper and/or Colors

I went with the patterned papers as you can tell.  I took out a cut paper

pack by DCWV Nanna's Kids as I wanted to make a baby card

for my great niece who is expecting in November.  I am going to her  

a Reveal Party on Monday.  She and the rest of  us will find out the

 sex of the baby when we cut into the cake and see if it is

pink or blue.  I cut strips of 3 neutral baby colors and layered

them and then stamped Great Impressions  Bear Floating

on papers to paper piece. I have some neutral swaddling

blankets and an outfit also for her on Monday!  Can't wait.

Hope you will join in the challenge at House of Cards

and check out the inspiration of the rest of the design team!

stamping on water colored paper.  I then stamped Repeat

Impressions 4405-K, Dragonfly Deco and 5102-F, Dragonfly Sil. (lg)
