Retro Sketches sketch challenge

Here is the  Retro Sketches latest challenge:



This is what I came up with:


 I used the tag I made for the Moxie Fab world challenge ( see previous post for details). I attached it to pattern paper mounted on Kraft card stock.  I love the green and Kraft stripes.  You have one more day if you would like to play along!!

Hooked on Hexagons Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

Hello again, I am here with a tag I made for the  Moxie Fab World  hexagon challenge.  I choose to use a hexagon mask (with a vintage/country look) and inked it with Colonial White Ink. I then stamped images from CTMH Vintage Christmas and Holiday Magic stamps.   Tied it with a little jute twine and some pins to finish it off.  I love how this turned out!!

Retro Sketch & ColourQ Challange

Hi, today I am combining two challenges to spice it up at bit:  Retro Sketches and Colour Q .
Here is my design:



I started by embossing the Kraft cardstock with the wood grain texture folder. I stamped the trees from CTMH  Treetops stamp. The background grid was stamped from the Noted backgrounds stamp from CTMH as well. I used 7 Gypsies paper tape in the green grid. I made the canvas butterfly and "Hello" banner from a package of canvas flowers from Prima.   A small flower is the butterfly and I cut another flower to make the banner. I love the look of canvas with Kraft!!. Oh ya, added some black bakers twine ( one of my secret addictions!!).  Happy crafting!

RAINBOW COLOR CHALLENGE CARD

Here is a card I submitted for the The Playdate Cafe Challenge:  My entry is below:




I used Twilight, Juniper and Sunflower ink and A Rainbow stamp from CTMH.  I embossed the background and clouds with my Cuttlebug. I just love adding texture and I thought it would be fun to add with the style of the rainbow. Last but not least, I used Hero Arts Envelope pattern stamp and finished up with some teal bakers twine.  Thanks for looking.
CAS-ual Fridays Design Challange

I used tape from the K & Company Smashbook line to create the stars and the black polka-dot strip. I stamped  "thanks" from the Close To My Heart  Thank You stamp. Finished it off with some black bakers twine. Hope you like it!
