Sketch Callenge 418 at SCS

Another Wednesday and another sketch challenge at Split Coast Stampers. This is my card for today's challenge. The stamp, from SU "Just Believe" set, was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed in black then sponged with pastel yellow, pink and blue ink. I love this effect. Each stamped image turns out a little bit different.

This image is a little large for today's challenge but I think it still works. I wish now that I had embossed the birthday greeting. Next time--

CHF10--Use Twine on Your Project

Another two weeks has passed and it is time for another Cornish Heritages Farms challenge. This week Holly Brown is our hostess and she has asked us to "use twine on our project". So lets get started.

 

My card base is Soft Suede by SU. The next layer is Crumb Cake by SU which was stamped with the CHF brick wall backgrounder using Soft Suede ink. I then sponged a little Soft Suede ink on the edges to create a softer look. I used one of Spellbinders labels to create the focal image with stamps from CHF Time to Stamp. The brown and white twine is held in place with an antique brad. You are invited to visit the Cornish Heritage Farms blog to get all the details on how to play along. I will look forward to seeing your creation.

CHF09--Shaped Card

Time for another callenge at Cornish Heritage Farms. Kris Chirhart is hostess and she has challenged us to make a shaped card. I have only made one other round card so I decided to try that for my card. Very simply but fun. The digital image is from Cornish Heritages Farms. Love this little guy.

Please visit the Cornish Heritages Farms Blog for all the details as to how to play along.Looking forward to seeing your card.

CHF08 Challenge--Circles, Circles, Circles

We are ready for a new Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. I am hostess for this challenge and I have chosen the theme -- Circles, Circles, Circles.

I used the digital stamp "Floral 11" , printed it out three times, colored each image with copic markers and used a 1 3/4 inch circle paper punch. Then I backed each circle with a black circle and a scalloped circle cut with spellbinders nestabilities.

On the white background I printed the "Happy Anniversary" image, embossed the background leaving a 1-inch strip at the bottom. I trimmed the background with a multi colored ribbon that I purchased at my local fabric store. The middle image has dimentionals behind it.

Hope that you can play along with us. for all the details please visit the Cornish Heritage Farms blog. I will look forward to seeing your card.

CHF07 Challenge -- Animals

Cornish Heritage Farms challenge this week is to use an animal on your card. The challenge hostess is Barb Gmitro-Best. Go to the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog to get all the details.You could win a $10 gift certificate.

For my card, I chose the digital image of a wolf which you can find here. What a handsome fellow. I printed out a fairly good size image, cut it out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities and sponged around the edges before taking it out of the frame. For the background, I used a piece of gray cardstock and embossed it in a folder that I had inked with  Memento London Fog. That makes the embossing really pop. Both the image and background were matted with black cardstock and attached to a white card base. I used the computer to print the sentiment. Hope you can play along with today's challenge.

CHF Challenge--Black, White and Your Color Choice

Its time for another Cornish Heritage Farms blog challenge--CHF06. Today's challenge hostess is Michele L. Michele has challenged us to use three colors--black and white with a third color (your choice). I love using black and white with lots of different colors. So which one did I want to use? Well, my choice was red. I used a digital image from the Cornish Heritage Farms store called "3 Chirstmas Kittens". I printed it twice with one image flipped horizontally. I colored only the kittens Christmas hats with a red copic marker, added a red layer of card stock and then a black layer. The sentiment was made on the computer, cut out and layered on black card stock. What a fun challenge--

CHF Challenge 5

It’s time for another CHF challenge today. Our hostess this week is Anne Harmon and she has chosen  “summer” as our theme. Yes, this is a favorite time of year for me. I am not fond of the very hot weather, but there are so many things that I love about this time of year.  I love the flowers and working in my gardens. I decided to do a very clean and simple card and spotlight the basket of flowers from the digital stamp called “Garden Chair”. You can find all the details about how to play along in the challenge at the Cornish Heritages Farm blog. We will all be looking forward to seeing your creation. You might even be the winner!

Today's Challenge--Create A Birthday Card

It’s time for a new challenge from Cornish Heritage Farms. The challenge this week is to create a birthday card and our hostess is Lisa Silver. I am always in the need of one more birthday card. For my card today I used the Cornish Heritage Farms birdhouse digital stamp and a greeting image. The image was colored with copic markers, matted on deep yellow card stock and then on Kraft Card stock. The card base is also the Kraft card stock. The designer paper is from Heidi Grace Designs and was sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Hope you will be able to play along with this challenge. For more details please visit the Cornish Heritage Farms blog, design your own card, and post a link to your card.

CHF Challenge # 3--Pearls and Lace

It is time for the third Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. The theme for this challenge is "Pearls and Lace" and our hostess is Cindy Haffner. Hope you will be able to play along. For all the details go to the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog.

Now I would like to share the cards I made for this challenge. My card uses the digital image from the Cornish Heritage Farms website called Lily Digital Stamp. It was printed, cut out using a Nestibilities Oval and sponged with Memento Black Ink before removing the image from the cutting die. I found the lace in my sewing cabinet, added some black ribbon over the top edge and finished it off the self-sticking pearls.

Of course, I had to make a second card using different colors. I recolored the image to match  the SU color Rose Red before printing it out. I then sponged SU Rose Red ink around the edges before removing it out of the die. The card stock (SU Rose Red) was dry embossed on about two-thirds of the front panel. Again I covered the top edge of the lace with ribbon and added self-sticking pearls. I hope you enjoy our third challenge.

Challenge # 2--Just for Baby

It's time for Challenge # 2 at Cornish Heritages Farms. Today's challenge is "Just For Baby" and our hostess is Barbara Bruder. For my card I used one of the digital images. Using my computer, I added the words to the balloons and the sentiment "welcome" at the bottom.  I used circle nestibilities to cut out the imagine. and I used the large dots background stamp inked with versa mark to create the background paper. To play along with the challenge visit the Cornish Heritage Farms blog for complete instructions and links to each of the design team's blog.

I could not stop with one card. I enlarged the image until I could use just the little bear's face. I cut it out with a circle die and created a baby's birthday card. The birthday sentiment was created on the computer. I find myself doing that a lot when I need a special size or something done a special way.

I hope you enjoy seeing all the projects that the design team has created. There are links to all the blogs on my left-hand side bar. Have a wonderful day.
