FFC #98 "It's Sketch Time"~



Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to another Fun~day Friday Challenge!!


 This week's Challenge:
"It's Sketch Time"
Create a card or layout using
 this week's sketch!


 
Our Sponsor this week is:


  The winner will win 1 stamp set and 1 6x6 paper pad from Lawn Fawn!!!!

 So make sure to play along this week~

    Starts: Friday, July 24th 12:00AM
Ends:  Friday, July 31st  6:00PM
(Eastern time)
 
 
Here is what I created using this week's sketch.


 

This week's sketch was super easy and so fun to work with! I started off with an A2 size card base using Bazzill's textured cardstock in vanilla. I knew I wanted this card to be a one layer CAS style card so to give the card base a little bit more texture, I ran just the bottom portion of the card through one of my Anna Griffin's embossing folder's called "Acanthus". It was the border strip embossing folder that came along with the standard folder. Once that was complete, I took out a very well loved and retired paper collection from Lawn Fawn called "Daphne's Closet" and cut a few strips of the pretty patterned papers, cut at 1/2". Then I took out the adorable stamp set, " Critters in the sea" and inked up the adorable whale! I just love all the critters in this set! So cute! So I colored this cutie up using my copic markers, BG70, B32 and B41. I added some dots to give the whale some texture. To finish him up, I added some clear wink of stella for some shimmer and then covered him in glossy accents. Once I positioned him on the card where I wanted him, I stamped the little water splat using my misti tool and added some Tropical Teal sequins from 3 Twenty Crafts. I stamped the sentiment in momento tuxedo black ink also using my misti tool to make sure I lined it up perfectly even with the strip of paper. I really love my misti! It definitely helps with alignment. The sentiment is one of two that come in the Critters in the sea stamp set. At this point my card was finished but I decided to add a bit more wink of stella to the criss cross patterned strips and took my Sakura white gel pen and added a few white dots.  Well my friends this completes my card,
 I hope you like!

FFC #97 "Emboss & Distress"



Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to another Fun~day Friday Challenge!!


 This week's Challenge:
"Emboss & Distress"
Create a card, project or layout using
 this week's theme!


 
Our Sponsor this week is:

Little Blue Button Stamps

  The winner will win 4 digital stamps of their choice!!!!

 So make sure to play along this week~

    Starts: Friday, July 17th 12:00AM
Ends: Friday, July 24th 6:00PM
(Eastern time)
 
 
Here is what I created this week!
    
 
I used the adorable Nurse Sophie Digi for my card. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her! She's so cute!! So I wanted to keep my card looking clean and simple and I was going for the all tone on tone with the white so that Sophie's scrubs would pop of color. I colored her in using the new to me, Chameleon Color Tone Markers. It was my first time using them and I will say there is a huge learning curve to use these properly. I have a lot to learn yet! They are fun though, I will say that. I think she turned out okay for using these for the first time. So my layers were using white cardstock and cut using Lawn Fawn's Large stitched rectangle stackables. I cut out the larger frame (5.5 x 4.25) and then embossed it using the Boho Chic embossing folder by SU #138286. Sophie was cut out using the smaller rectangle stitched frame (4.5 x 3.25)and I adhered her panel to the embossed panel using foam tape for dimension, but before doing so, I cut up a white tea lace doily by SU #129399 in half and adhered that down to the embossed layer first. The "thinking about you" sentiment is a die by Lawn Fawn called, "Thinking about you Border die" and the "feel better" was a handmade sentiment that I put together using Lawn Fawn's Claire's ABC's alphabet set. I stamped that out using Momento tuxedo black ink but after I had stamped it, I thought that I didn't like the look of it. Oh well! And so to finish up my card, I used some wink of stella clear glitter brush over Sophie's scrubs, bows and nurse hat. I also decided that I wanted her scrubs to have some bling so I added some rhinestones to her scrubs, bows and hat. Some sequins finish it off. I hope you like her!
