CTS#149 – Amazing

November 17, 2015 Jentimko 3 Comments

I got some time to sit down and stamp last week and I saw the fabulous sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch…I knew I had to play along. But what to make?! I also saw that Michele from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is hosting a Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop for a very special release. In honor of Michele and her amazing cause, I thought I should make a card with one of her sets. Please read her story and the background on this hop HERE. I am in awe that she has taken this news and turned it into a way to help others. I have no doubt that her mission to get us all to check “the sistahs” will help someone else have early detection!

I used the Mon Ami stamp set…such a beautiful image collection! I stamped the flower 3 times with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I colored the back of the flowers using Zig Clean Color Pens. It is only one color that I used to create this ombre look. Then I cut them out with the matching Mon Ami dies. I stamped the sentiment with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink using my Misti to make sure I got perfect coverage. The Stitched Rectangles made another appearance to add a little interest. Finally, I added Silver Thread (SU) and silver sequins.

Michele has a product launch today and she will be sharing some of the proceeds with very good causes. You can read all about it from her and her talented team. So go hop with them, get inspired and make sure you take care of your self check!

I got called out on a trip so I will not have a card for tomorrow’s Freshly Made Sketches. With any luck, I will have time on Thursday to catch up and join in. It is a really fabulous sketch!! I’ll definitely be back on Friday with a new Fancy Friday blog hop and we have some fun new things to share with you!! Until then, have a great week!

Watercolor Drummer

November 13, 2015 Jentimko 1 Comment

I told you a few post ago when I was coloring this adorable little drummer boy that my oldest son was a bit put out that I had made the drummer blonde like his brother. So the other day I had some time to color while he was home. He colored one version of himself and I colored another. This is the one I ended up with! I used my new Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the background and my Zig Clean Color Markers for the images. Super fun and pretty quick too! I cut the image sheet with my Stitched Rectangles from Simon Says Stamps (I’m addicted to these dies) and then embossed the base (Night of Navy) with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. My oldest gave it his thumbs up of approval!!

Quick post…still recovering from the 3 days of simulator madness. Fortunately it all went well and I’m good to go for another 9 months. Back next week with some more fun. Until then, thanks for stopping in!

As promised, I have a fun card to share with you today plus a video. We have this super sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches from the queen of layers, Narelle. She makes layering look effortless and always elegant! As for me….it wasn’t working. So I took a step back and simply layered the images instead. I hope she doesn’t mind too much. Here is the how to on my card:

I’m still in Denver taking my check ride (3 days of fun in the simulator) but I did get to have coffee with the amazing Kim Singdahlsen from the team. I tell you what, it made facing all those engine out approaches much more tolerable!! *smile*

Ok….back to studying. I hope you enjoy the video and this fun sketch. Go check out all the inspiration from the team, of course, too! See you again Friday with another fun card!

Santa!

November 6, 2015 Jentimko 1 Comment

Happy Friday to you! I hope your week has been great! We have been unseasonably warm but I’m still plugging away at my Christmas cards. I pulled out this amazing set called Santa from Lili of the Valley. It has wonderful detail, doesn’t it?! I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to color him. I love that my 48 pack of pens gives me enough to get all the shading and colors that I could possible need. The image was stamped with Black WPlus9 Pure Color Dye Ink and the sentiment was stamped after I colored everything in Black Versafine Ink. The WPlus9 ink really holds up to the watercoloring and the Versafine is great for sentiments. This sentiment comes from A Gift from Santa (SU). I cut the image panel and a Real Red panel using the Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangles Dies. I tied a double layer of Basic Black Baker’s Twine onto a Basic Black card base.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did coloring it. I actually colored the panel last week and was happy to finally turn it into a finished card.

Over the next few days I will be taking a check ride with United so I’ll be off from the blog. Lots of studying and fun with emergency training in the simulator. But I already have a card ready for next Wednesday’s Freshly Made Sketches complete with a video. Until then, I hope you have wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping in.

So guess what we have for you today at Freshly Made Sketches!! Just look at this awesome sketch. So cool and creative….just like Cindy Lovell who designed this one for us! The fun trio plus the vertical sentiment makes for fun options.

I used the stamp set from the latest Paper Pumpkin (October) called Blissful Bouquet. The images and sentiments are fabulous! I colored these with Zig Clean Color Markers to create these fall flowers. I made a video to show you how easy it is to color these flowers.
