Sketch Week at Repeat Impressions

Good Morning friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has a sketch challenge for us.  Here is her sketch

And here is my take on the sketch

I turned this one sideways.  The image is one of my favorites called Fawn.  I think some call it a line image which makes it super easy to color with copics, watercolors or pencils.  I didn't put a sentiment - just waiting for the need for the card and I'll put the sentiment on the inside so not to detract from the image.

Why not join us this week in the challenge --- you could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Anything Goes Challenge

Hello, friends!  Today is Anything Goes Challenge.  These are wonderful time to experiment or an opportunity to use a new technique you've learned.  

I needed to make 30 little small thank you tokens that I leave with people on my way to California each year.  I give them to the flight attendants, pilots or anyone else who helps me along the way.  So this is what I made:

They are little tea bag holders.  They hold two tea bags.  I used the sentiment called Thanks So Much from the Quartet Compliments Series and the little Heart Tea Cup.  I used the sentiment on one side and the little tea cup on the other.

Pick of the Week for Repeat Impressions

Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions is allowing me pick a few stamps to feature -- I was so excited to do this because I was fortunate enough to attend The Great Yosemite Stamp Escape and while there I got some inspiration from a demonstration of envelope art by Nola Chandler.

Here are the supplies you will need

envelopes
fine line ink pen
your favorite ink - I used Memento
your favorite coloring medium
  (markers or pens or pencils)
stamps of your choice

                                                             

Here are the stamps I used:

Raccoon
Beaver
Morning Glories
Stencil Bouquet
and
Nap Time Fairy

I quickly stamped these on the front of the envelopes and colored with different pens and markers.  If I wanted to make the stamp look like it was peeking from behind the address, I just used a simple mask from some typing paper

 Here are the envelopes:

Then I drew a simple box with a fine line pen where the address would go.  I didn't try to make it look perfect - in fact I kinda accented that the lines were not straight.

These are so much fun - and quick, quick, quick to make.  Thanks again to Nola Chandler for her inspiration.  And thank you for looking at my project.
