Tuesday Morning Sketches #304 - Patti Rowe, CTMH Demo!

Good morning lovelies! We've got a brand new sketch for you at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and a fabulous prize up for grabs from our generous returning sponsor, Patti Rowe! She's also hosting a bit of a contest for the DT - she'd like you to vote for one of our creations to win an additional prize. Now that's a fun & unique way to celebrate!

I really wanted to combine the sketch with the current Jingle Belles shaker challenge, and it took a little engineering but I think it worked!

Supplies: Close To my Heart snowman stamp set; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Spectrum Noir markers; Lily Bee Designs papers; unknown stitched strip die; classic small circle Nesties; shrink plastic; assorted confetti & sequins for the shaker

I adhered the strips to the snowflake patterned paper first, and then cut out the shaker circle and assembled as usual. I was holding my breath that I used enough tape to keep those suckers in place!

Here's the fun sketch, designed by Debbie:

This challenge will be open until next Sunday, June 14 - hop on over & see what the rest of the team has made! And pop on over & vote at Patti's blog.

Masculine Birthday Trees

I told you my go-to is trees ;) Here's a birthday card that I think would be perfect for a guy - still addicted to using my distress inks for watercolouring! Entering over at The Pink Elephant's masculine birthday challenge.

Supplies: stamps from PTI; Palette Noir ink; distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Mowed Lawn; stitched rectangle dies from Lil Inkers

I had fun playing with the tilted panels :) And a little black bling surely is manly enough!

Father's Day!

Father's Day is just two weeks away, so I've been crazy busy making the Dreaded Man Cards. Trees seem to be my go-to this year, and there's one to follow, but I also saw a great mug Amy shared with the Coffee Lovers FB group and that saying just had to go on a card! Both cards are for The Kraft Journal's Father's Day challenge, and this first one is also for little red wagon's Use it Up - first time this embossing folder has seen paper!

Supplies: light kraft & chocolate cardstock; Walnut Stain distress ink; embossing folder from Crafts Too; unknown alphabet stamps

Supplies: light kraft and chocolate cardstock; all stamps from PTI; Distress Inks in Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Gathered Twigs

Loving the kraft, green, and brown combo on my dad cards this year!

Inspired by a Song

I finally tried Dana's inky sky technique! I printed out two copies of the digital stamp, and cut out one to use as a mask so I could do the sky. The overall love feel of the card, and specifically the sentiment, were inspired by a song that keeps being an earworm for me - I Love You Always Forever. Thanks to Open-Minded Crafting Fun for hosting one of my favourite challenges, inspired by a song - I listen to music always when I craft so I bet a lot of my cards are actually inspired by that!

Supplies: Digi stamp from Sami Stamps; sentiment from Reverse Confetti; Spectrum Noir markers; Sharpie white paint pen; distress inks in Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot; Pearl Tattered Angels mist

After inking the sky and adding the white stars, I spritzed lightly with pearl mist. I really really love how it turned out :)

And before I go, the video for my inspiration song :) You are welcome for having it stuck in your head all day!

I'm impressed with how vivid the red watercolouring turned out - I am so very in love with watercolouring with my distress inks. I need more wc paper!
