Stitch 4You

Hello Everyone!

I am here to share a Sugar Nellie Challenge DT card.
Our theme is always Anything Goes as long as you use a
current or retired Sugar Nellie image.

I made a patchwork card using a folksy stamp by Leanne Ellis.
Sugar Nellie Funky Kits store carries a wide range of
Leanne Ellis stamps, you can find them here.

This stamp image is called "Stitch" by Leanne Ellis.

I stamped the image on 140lb Strathmore Mixed Media paper with

Staz-on Timber Brown ink. I then water colored her with Distress Ink pads.

I have been experimenting water coloring on mixed media paper lately.
Although they are not as absorbent as watercolor paper, I found
they are good for water coloring stamp images,
.
I like the Canson 98lb Mixed Media paper better as you can
easily print digi stamps and the paper is more durable
 than the lighter weight watercolor paper.

Dies ~ Go Kreate, Magnolia and Marianne Design.
Twine, lace and measuring tape ribbon are from The Ribbon Girl.

I hope my creation inspires you to play with us at Sugar Nellie Challenge.
and visit Funky Kits for many adorable stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Hugs,
Katie

For the Graduate

Hello Everyone!
Hope you are keeping well wherever you are.
Popping in to share a card I made for my son who just graduated from high school.
I bought this Magnolia stamp years ago for this special occasion.

Finally I got to stamp it and color up this sweet
Graduation Edwin or Eric!

I inked up the stamp with Staz-on Timber Brown ink and
water colored the image with Distress Ink pads.

I embossed around the image with white Frantage for added texture.

I used Eric's favorite color blue for the color theme and added some red and
amber as accents. I stenciled the background paper edges using white embossing paste
and a 6x6 The Story stencil  from The Crafter's Workshop.

Designer paper~ Maja Design Life in the Country and Life by the Sea collection
Dies ~ Go Kreate, La La Land Crafts, Marianne Design and Tim Holtz Sizzix

I am proud of Eric's achievement.

He has maintained a good grade and obtained a District Scholarship 

towards his university tuition from Ministry of Education.

Well done my child!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Wish you a lovely day!

Hugs,

Katie

the image with Shabby White Frantage.

Sitting Pretty on Mushroom ~ GDT for Conie Fong Art & Design

Morning Friends!
Hope you are doing well wherever you are.

Today, I have a new guest design work to share with you.

I was invited by the lovely Conie Fong, creator of Conie Fong Art & Design,
to do a couple of guest design work for her Facebook Group.

The image I used is called Sitting Pretty on Mushroom.

You can find her at Conie Fong Art Etsy store.

I printed the digi stamp image on Canson 98lb Mix Media paper

with my hp LaserJet printer. I water colored the image with

Distress Ink pads and touched up with PrismaColor pencils.

I truly enjoyed coloring up this gorgeous fairy.

The drawing is so detailed which makes it easy to do the shading.

I used the current sketch from Noor Design for my card layout.
You can click on the image for the challenge link.
