Retro Challenge #240

https://www.retrorubberchallengeblog.com/my-blog/2024/09/challenge-240-a-piecemeal-sketch.html

I used a lot of my autumn paper scraps for this sketch and love the rich colors. I paper pieced this Unity stamp for my image and the sentiment is from Sizzix.  I love the colors of fall and had fun making this card.

 

ABC Christmas challenge - S and T

I used a plaid stencil of the background layer in green and then turned it a different direction to stencil over it in red. Then I stenciled this triangular patterned stencil from A colorful Life for my front panel background. I used distress oxide inks for the stenciling. I added the die cut silhouettes from Sizzix for the front. I mounted these two layers onto a black card base. 

I made this card for the ABC Christmas challenge to use stenciling for S and traditional colors for T. You can find the details for this challenge here:

The stamps are from Art Impressions. I used Paper Studio papers, and added some flocked Christmas tree brads as my embellishment.

 

My Time to Craft Christmas - stockings

The theme for the My Time to Craft Christmas challenge is stockings. I love this stocking filled with things for a gardener. This image is from Power Poppy, and I colored with colored pencils. It was fun making this background from various design papers from my scrap piles. I added green enamel dots down the front. You can find the details for this challenge here:

Snippets playground challenge

I went through my scrap bags and found these to use with this Image from Power Poppy. I colored the image with copic markers and colored pencils. The bow is a great die from The Greetery.

Crafty catz challenge - anything goes

I used some geometric scraps that were left over from another card and then made this cute sentiment to go with this theme. This digital is from Power Poppy, the papers are from Paper Studio. It has a black card base, and the gold chrome cardstock made a great contrast for this. The image was colored with colored pencils. You can find the details here for this challenge:
