The House That Stamps Built: Sketch

Such a fun and easy sketch this week at Repeat Impressions!

 

 

 

Close up:

 

I started by picking out a patterned paper with coral in it, coral is

the Pantene color for 2019 so I used it as my starting point. Then

 I took 9001-L, Butterfly (lg) and put several Distress Oxides

directly on the stamp, spritzed it water and stamped it.

 Fussy cut and placed on  a die cut oval and added some

 embellishments which I distressed.

The House That Stamps Built: Tic-Tac-Toe

Back for a weekly challenge at Repeat Impressions, this week is a

Tic-Tac-Toe with a lot of fun options.

I went right down the right side, starting with a die cut Summer Flowers Background

by Die Versions, I inked it up with 3 blue Oxide Inks, spritzed it with water
(a new technique for me) and then Shimmer Spritz.  I stamped my most
used Repeat Impressions stamp Birthday Vertical and layered both of
 these up for dimension, adding pop  dots to the sentiment.  A silver curly
 ribbon finished my card off.

Happy New Year to all!

 

Our first challenge of 2019 for Repeat Impressions is a Designer

Choice Challenge and Esther has chosen the fun theme of

Snow Globes. 

 

 

Repeat Impressions has a fabulous selection of snow globes, not yet in my

collection (almost ordered many times) so I made my own and

used  Repeat Impressions :Snowman & Friend.  Background

embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, base is a

die cut labels 4 cut in half, and snowflake is a punch layered 3 times.
