Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge 228

Don't forget your sunglasses!  This was an easy sketch for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.  I chose one of my favorite stamp sets, Endless Wishes Birthday.  I used Blendabilities to color in the cake.  I pulled out the Sweet Sorbet dsp.  This is a BUSY pattern, but I love the colors (Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight).  I thought the white cake panel would cut down on that.  I then decided it was too white and added the dots from the Endless Wishes set.  After stamping the sentiment,  I cut out a couple of stars with the Itty Bitty Punch pack and then I added some sparkle with my Wink of Stella pen.  You probably can't see the sparkle too well.  I do love these pens!  Anyway, thanks so much for your comments!  I hope I am back to crafting by the time this is posted.  I scheduled several out before I had surgery.

PPA 223

I could not come up with anything other than Halloween for this Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge.  I ended up using the Holiday Home bundle.  This is such a cute set!  It has all kinds of images for Christmas, Thanksgiving & Halloween.

I stamped the houses and elements in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. I also used some little bats from the September Paper Pumpkin kit. I colored the house and a few other things in with Blendabilities.  I went a little overboard with the windows.  It looks like the house is on fire inside!

Thanks for looking and commenting!

More Back to Black

Hi Everyone!  I have been trying to use up the pieces I've cut from cardstock and dsp.  I had this left over from my two previous cards and I decided to get to work and use it up!  I also stamped a bunch of flowers from Bloom with Hope so I grabbed one of those and colored it in with Daffodil Delight & Old Olive Blendabilities.  I do like the yellow with black.  Of course I liked the Real Red with black and the Strawberry Slush with black.  I am so happy I bought the Back to Black paper.  It goes with everything and it makes the colors pop!

I used a sketch from The Sweetest Thing blog. She is incredibly talented!  Love her sketches and style.

I thought the sentiment should be on a print so I took the dots from the Endless Wishes Birthday set and inked them in Daffodil Delight.  I used Express Yourself, a retired sentiment set.  Let me know what you think.
