From The Heart Stamps Sketch Challenge 164

Time for a new sketch with a double twist challenge at From The Heart Stamps! Don't forget that you can either follow the sketch or either of the two twists or any combination of the three that you want, the only stipulation is that you must use a FTHS. If you don't have any of the images, pop over to the store as there are some freebies available.

Plus, there is a progressive Stamp of the Month challenge - if you buy the image for February, you will receive the one for March for free and so on. Hogs and Kisses is the SOTM for February and a new one will be available for March  The sketch is below which I've used and also both the twists!

I've used Birdbath Chick, coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter glue and then cut the image with an X Cut oval die and then cut the card base with the largest die.  All the 'bubbles' are from a fab bubble plate metal die I bought from ebay - there are quite a few different sized bubbles and great for a card like this and uses up scrap card from my stash.

I've used a Sizzix scalloped edge die and hand wrote the sentiment.

The sketch is above - good luck with the challenge!

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 142

There is a new sketch with a twist challenge at From The Heart Stamps!  I've used Birdbrain Birdbath Chick, coloured with Promarkers plus added glitter glue to the bubbles (you just can't see it!)  I've used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background - I only have a really old Sizzix red die cutting machine and the cutting area is not very big so I have to be creative if I need a large area embossing, so did panels for this card before layering the image over the top.

I've added a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edge of the image and sentiment, everything else is from my stash.

The sketch is below along with the twist - you can follow either the sketch or the twist (I've just done the twist this time) but you must use a FTHS stamp in your creation.  Each entry receives a $1 voucher to the store that can be combined to buy a stamp!

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

Pesky Felt Flowers

There is nothing worse than trying to glue felt flower layers and they just won't stick! I've used a fab From The Heart Stamps digi - Birdbath Chick, coloured it with Promarkers and some stickles.

The papers are a mix of Funky Hand and Echo Park that I found in my box of bits along with Nursery Rhyme from Debbie Mumm. The flowers are cut from felt and I've used various Cuttlebug dies.

I did, in the end get the glue to dry - I put the card in the sun!
