TMS 317 with Sherry Baldy

It's Tuesday morning and you know what that means?!
Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch!

We have a great sketch for layering this week and we have a great sponsor.

Our sponsor this week is Sherri Baldy Designs.  Her big eyed characters are very popular and oh so cute!  She has so many images to pick from you will have a hard time picking a favorite!

Now on to the sketch so you can get to creating!



Here's my inspiration for you this week....

I will admit, I had a bit of a time coloring her hat!  I think it's because I went with a black hat, maybe a non-traditional color like orange or purple would have been a little bit easier to color.

I used Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils to color this cute little witch.  It's hard to see from the picture, but I printed the image twice so I could fussy cut the pumpkin and pop it up for some dimension.  I added some gold star Stickles to her hat for a little more shine.  I also used purple metallic paper as the mat for my layers.  A layered circle with a jack-o-lantern brad and some apple green/yellow twine finish off my card!

Now it's time to see what the other DT members did with this fun layering sketch.

Not it's your turn! Link up a card using this week's sketch and you could be our random winner! 

Thank you bouquet

Sharing a thank you card I put together using Mo Manning's digital image, Flower Jar.
Thanks to the sketch over at Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge, this card came together rather quickly.
Here's the sketch from the Share Joy Challenge.

Here is my thank you card.
OK, I didn't follow the sketch exactly, but it's my interpretation.

I colored the image with Prismacolor colored pencils. I then matted it on some yellow card stock.  I die cut the "thanks" from the same yellow card stock.  I then put it right up to the yellow mat so it looks like all one die cut.

A button and twine add the finishing touch.

This thank you card is going to a special young lady who helped out without hesitation at my son's wedding a few weeks ago.  I just wanted her to know how much she is appreciated.

Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog, have a great week!

A Little bit of pretty from Unity

Things are slowing down for me, so I took a little bit of time to create!
I used one of my new stamps from Unity to create this thank you card for a very special lady.

The image and sentiment are from the set Let Your Dreams Bloom.  I colored the image with my Inktense pencils and water brush.  I sanded the music panel where I wanted to stamp the sentiment.  This lightened the area so the sentiment showed up better, it also gave it a little bit of a distressed look to it.  Some twine and pearls are the finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by my little blog!
God bless!

Happy Tuesday morning!
There is another great sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches!
I had a lot of fun putting together my very first easel card!  I had never made an easel card before, so this was a great new challenge for me!  If you're intimated, don't be, you can adapt the sketch and use the oval and circle elements on a regular A2 card.

This week we are sponsored by SLS Lines.
As noted in their bio on the Etsy shop:  Welcome! I sell digital stamps and papers with a fun and quirky vibe. There are cute fairies and tons of cats too. I'm happy to make custom orders as well. You can find me on Facebook with lots of news about new and upcoming products! https://www.facebook.com/SLSlines

Here's this week's sketch.....

and my card....

I used an SVG file to cut my card base and gingham mats.  I inked the edges of the mats with some Distressed ink before adhering to the panel.  On the base panel, I also added a few stamped flowers.  I used one of the flowers from the Whimsical Flowers set from SLS Lines for the vertical panel.  I paper pieced the bloom and colored the stem with Copics. I cut out the different layers of petals and popped them up.  I also added some Wink of Stella to the petals for a bit of glimmer.  A few sequins and a little twine bow finish off the card.
I had a lot of fun making this card.  I hope you give it a try.

Take a look at what the other DT members have created....

Remember, you don't have to make an easel card.  Just adopt the elements like Jessi did!
Have fun, can't wait to see what you create.

and now for the sketch.....

and my card.....

I used Race Car Scottie for my cute little boy card! 

I colored the image with a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Distress markers.  I embossed the green layer with an arrow embossing folder.  I sanded the edges of the red panel and then stamped some tire tracks for a fun little detail.  I added Glossy Accents to the goggles and the car's wind shield. A little hand cross stitching and this fun little card was done.

TMS #313 with Bugaboo!

Happy Tuesday Morning!!
We are back with another sketch and one of my favorite sponsors!

Bugaboo is one of my favorite digital stamp shops!  Love all the fun images! Such a great variety, from cute to fun to a little racy!   This week's winner will win 7 images of their choice!

So now for the sketch....


and my card featuring Stella and Gus Socks and Sandles.

Sorry my picture is a little blurry.  I flipped the sketch to fit my image better.  I fell in love with this fun image!  And I really do know someone who wears socks with their sandals, I plan on giving this card to them.
I colored the image with a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Distress markers.  I did find the triangle element to this card challenging.  Not sure why, I just had a hard time finding the right size to satisfy me.

Please take some time to stop by the other DT blogs, they've got some great cards to share with you!

and my card.....

I used a Spellbinders Sprocket die for my circle element.  My cars are heat embossed on colored paper with Watering Can EP.  I then fussy cut them out and popped them up with foam tape.  I used my sanding block on the edges of the background paper to give it a worn look.  A few sequins finish off this masculine card.
