Hike

Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog's second challenge is to use summer icons on your page - sun, clouds, sunglasses, pineapples, palm trees/leaves, cold drinks, etc. If it says summer to you then use it on your project. This can be in your papers, your embellishments or even something in your photos.

For my page I die cut the sun motif using my silhouette out of white cardstock. I then colored it with distress ink in fossilized amber and cut in half. I just smudged the ink pad over the die cut, add a little bit of water to blend then dried it with the heat gun.

I layered my photo onto a couple of different pattern papers and that onto an embossed piece of gray cardstock.

I haven't journaled on this page as it is a companion page to a project life page and I have a lot of
journaling on that page.  So I'm undecided if I need to add more journaling on this one.

My Sketch World - Card 2

I again used the July Card Sketch from My Sketch World for my card today.

I made an oversized tag as I wanted more of my image to show on the tag and used watercolor paper.

After stamping my image in Versa Mark and heating setting the black embossing powder I started coloring my image.  I started with the lightest pink working to the darker pink, then added the lightest purple and darkest purple on the flower.

I did the same thing with the greens, then colored the light glue around the flower. I added the eyelet and bow and made an envelop pocket for my card.

I wrapped some embroidery yarn around my envelope, added the flower and pearl along with the stamped sentiment to finish off the envelope of the card. A few pearls on the top right of the tag to correspond to the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Sketch World - card sketch

My Sketch World is back making card and scrapbooking sketches.  The July sketch is up on the blog and her facebook group.

I used my July Counterfeit Kit - Mix and Match to make my card. I pulled out the Stampin' Up Papers using the backside. I stamped the feather onto white cardstock that was trimmed down into a tag shape, made an envelope out of gray cardstock to tuck it into.

I added a button in place of the flower and a few enamel dots for the flowers on top.

Sympathy Card

I need a sympathy card today. So I pulled out my June Counterfeit Kit - It's the Little Things.  I started by looking through the 6x6 paper pad I included in my kit to get some inspiration.

 

I pulled out four different sheets that I thought I might use on the card -

pink variegated paper, multi colored swatch paper, dark blue with light blue plus signs and a white with gold embossed pattern. After cutting into a couple of them I decided I would use the pink variegated paper for my card. I used Bazzill Vanilla cardstock for my base and cut a smaller panel for the embellishment.

 

I added a few of the flowers from the ephemera pack that I included in my kit. Since there was gold in the flowers I pulled out a scrap of gold cardstock and the leaf dies to cut a couple of leaf sets for the front of my card.

 

All of the edges are inked with gathered twigs and the sentiment is black soot.  I stamped a few of the flowers onto the envelope and embossed with gold embossing powder.

For the inside of the card I used a white mat to write on - just because it's easier to read, then added a strip of the pattern paper down the side, a couple of gemz and another flower piece to the bottom of the card.
