From The Heart Stamps Sketch Challenge 168

It's time for a new From The Heart Sketches with a double twist challenge!  You can either follow the sketch or one of the twists, or both or all three!  The only stipulation is that you use a FTHS in your creation - there are freebies in the store if you don't already own any.

I've used one of the images from the Birdbrain Football Fanatics set, coloured him with Promarkers, added glossy accents to the eyes and popped him up with foam pads before attaching to the card blank.  I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card with a black fine liner pen and hand wrote the sentiment.

And here is the sketch and twists.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

CAS On Sunday:  Sentiment
Gem of a Challenge:  Boy's Birthday

Crazy 4 Challenges:  Feathered Friend

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 157

It's Monday so its a new From The Heart Stamps sketch with a twist!  It's really easy to join in with the challenge - you can follow either the sketch or the twist or combine the two, but please make sure you use a FTHS - there are some freebies in the store to get you started if you don't have any.

I've used three of the single images from the Birdbrain Football set and have take off the ball that the first birdbrain is holding; I've also written my own sentiment on the second image.  The green card is from my stash and I've added the images (coloured with Promarkers) with foam pads for some depth.

To be honest, the card wasn't looking like that in my head but glad it turned out how it did!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Glitter and Sparkle:  Anything Goes
Stamping Sensations:  Feature A Creature
The Paper Players:  CAS Celebration
Alphabet Challenge:  H is for Handcoloured Image
Chocolate, Coffee and Cards:  Use A Die Cut

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 151

It's the start of a new From The Heart Stamps with a Twist challenge!  I've used Birdbrain Football Fanatics - you get different images in the set and this is one of the single ones, coloured with Promarkers and added to Funky Hand papers - no longer available - which I found in my stash.

The sentiment dies are from Clearly Besotted and I handwrote the banner sentiment.  Don't forget that you can follow either the sketch or the twist, or complete both, but you must use a FTHS - there currently is a 'free bee' in the store!

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 143

Time for a new From The Heart Stamps challenge!  I've used one of the Birdbrain Football images - you get different groups / singles in the set and I've coloured this one with Promarkers plus glossy accents on the eyes.

I've handwritten the sentiment and found the plain papers in my stash - the printed one is from Sticks and Bones by Polkadoodles (you can buy the full cd or just smaller bundles!)

And surprisingly (!) I found some colour matching buttons in my stash!  The sketch and twist is below - you can do either or both but please don't forget to use a FTHS stamp!  Good luck!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Bugaboo:  Bright and Cheerful
Crafty Friends:  Anything Goes
Send A Smile 4 Kids:  Spring Colours
Sweet Stampin':  Boys to Men

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 140

It's Monday so what does that mean?! A new FTHS sketch with a twist of course!  And I particularly liked this one!  I've used one of the single chicks from Birdbrain Football Fanatics and coloured it with Promarkers (background is watercolour pencils).

I used a spellbinders die to cut the circle and then added a black dotted line around the edge.  Patterned papers are from Sticks and Bones from Polkadoodles (left overs from another project) and the plain card is from my stash along with the waxed cord.

I've made my own sentiment as I wanted to keep it as a circle.  The sketch is below - you can either follow it or the twist (or do both!) but remember to use a FTHS stamp and every entry that qualifies receives a $1 voucher off a future purchase!  What's not to like?!
