RI WIW-Sketch Challenge

It is no secret that I love sketch challenges and this week Wendy has given the Repeat Rock Star team another awesome sketch to work with.

Want to play along?  Head on over to The House That Stamps Built blog and join in on the fun. 

So, I went a little rebel with the original sketch and flipped it on it's side, used circles instead of squares and left off the band across the edge.  Yep, I am a rebel and that is how I roll :)

I die cut the circles onto some white shimmer cardstock and adhered it to a purple cardbase using foam tape.  I wrapped some purple shimmer ribbon around the card on each side of the circles before attaching to the card.  Be sure to add a little extra tape over the ends of your ribbon so it doesn't pop off in the mail....that would really be the pits!

 I added some die cut butterflies into the openings and topped each of them with a little white pearl. 

I stamped the Repeat Impressions Birthday Vertical #6104-J down the right side in place of the band as shown in the sketch.  

This is a quick and easy card and you could whip up a whole set using many of the different Verticals in the collection.

Here is Wendy's awesome sketch:

RI-WIW Sketch Challenge

Good Wednesday morning friends!  

It is no secret that I love sketch challenges and this week Wendy has given the Repeat Rock Star team another awesome sketch to work with.

Want to play along?  Head on over to The House That Stamps Built blog and join in on the fun.  

I love the RI Hot Air Balloon Cluster #9116-N so I stamped it in black ink onto a white oval  panel and then a second time onto a scrap of white paper.  I colored the balloon images with Copic markers.  It is hard to see, but I also created clouds with the markers in the background of both the image and sentiment panels.  I cut out the second balloon and popped it up onto some Tombow Power Tabs

 

I stamped the RI Happy Hello #9717-C  in black ink onto an oval panel.  I layered both oval panels to red oval panels and popped them up.

RI WIW-Sketch Challenge

Happy Wednesday friends!

It is Sketch Challenge week on The House That Stamps Built blog and Wendy has given us another amazing sketch to work with.  I love sketch challenges, do you?

I love this little bunny!  She is adorable!

I embossed a gray card base with a swirly embossing folder for starters and then I added the stitched rectangle and purple dot panel.  Next, I stamped the RI Clover Bunny #702-K in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with markers and die cut with a stitched circle die.  I added some Stickles to her blossoms for a little extra pop.  I stamped the sentiment Happy Hello #9717-C from the Contain Yourself collection and cut it out with another stitched circle die.  

Here is Wendy's awesome sketch:

RI What If Wednesday--Sketch Challenge

Hey there friends!  

It is What If Wednesday on The House That Stamps Built blog and today Wendy has given us another one of her awesome sketches to work with.

As usual, I took a little creative liberty with the sketch....call me a rebel :)

I love this Repeat Impressions Big Comfy Chair #2628-H image and stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it in with alcohol markers.  I layered the image up onto some Spellbinders dies.

Hey, hey, it is What If Wednesday :)

I love Repeat Impressions What If Wednesday's!

This week we have another fabulous sketch from Wendy (owner of RI).  This sketch was a piece of cake to work with and you will be amazed at what each of the Repeat Rock Stars has created this week.  

I followed the sketch just as it was and I love how this card turned out.

I have recently fallen back in love with my basic die cut shapes and love the simplicity of the scallops with the pretty RI Sunflower #4313-K.  Each of the panels is adhered flat to the card.  The added button and dew drops are the only dimension on this one. The sunflower is colored with several shades of golden yellow markers with a touch of brown for the center.  A little Diamond glitter glue just to add some sparkle.

Here is the sketch for this week:

As always, I would love it if you stopped by each of the Rock Star's blogs and check out their amazing cards.  Once you have visited their blogs, be sure to stop by The House That Stamps Built blog and check out the challenge, we love it when you play along!  Wendy even gives out an awesome prize to one of our creative stamping friends!

RI WIW Sketch Challenge O114

Well, here we are again gathering together for the Repeat Impressions Sketch Challenge on The House That Stamps Built blog.

I love sketch challenges and Wendy (owner at RI) always comes up with some good ones!

I am so in the Fall mode right now!  We finally got some much needed rain a few days ago and now I am ready for the pretty fall flowers :)

I stamped the RI Sunflower 4313-K in black ink and colored it with markers.  Next, I used some of my favorite oval dies to cut the image and coordinating green and yellow panels.  I added them to the yellow embossed panel with foam tape.  Next, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" from the RI Happy Birthday From 2501-H in black ink onto a small tag and tied some wrinkle ribbon through the holes on each end of the tag.

Now, for the fun part....the sketch!

We would love to have you play along with us, just use the sketch above as your inspiration and head on over to The House That Stamps Built blog and link up your amazing creation.  Afterall, you might just win some free stamps!

RI WIW S1714 Sketch Challenge

I love sketches and sketch challenges!  Whew, it felt good to say that :)

Sketches give me a jumping off point and sometimes that is just the push I need.

Today I am sharing a card I created for the Repeat Impressions WIW Sketch Challenge on The House That Stamps Built blog.

I can't believe that I have started making Halloween cards already.  I usually don't do too many Halloween cards, but when I saw this stamp I immediately thought "self portrait", I am sure that is what my family would say sometimes :)

I started with the RI Spooktacular #2309-G sentiment and instead of stamping it as it was designed I stamped the words on three lines instead.  To do this, you can just mask over portions of your stamps, ink what you need (remember to remove the mask) and stamp.  Repeat this for each word or words that you want to use.

Next, I stamped my self portrait by using the RI Halloween Witch #817-I in black ink and coloring her with markers.  I used scraps of paper (yeah!) to create each of the layers.

Check out this awesome sketch created by Wendy (owner of Repeat Impressions)

Would you like a chance to win some free stamps?  We would love for you to play along with this sketch challenge.  Did you know that as much as we would love for you to use Repeat Impression stamps, it is not necessary that you do in order to win.  This just may be your chance to score some Repeat Impressions stamps of your own!

RI WIW Sketch Challenge-Blue Birdy

Hey there and happy Wednesday.  This week Wendy (owner of Repeat Impressions) has challenged the team to use another one of her great sketches as the inspiration for card. You can check out each of the Rock Stars cards on The House That Stamps Built blog.

I am hoping and praying for some fall weather (and rain) and so I pulled some fall colors with just a little touch of cool blue for my card.

I stamped the RI Bird and Blossoms #1321-M in black ink and colored with markers.  I used an oval die to cut out the image and then added it to a black scallop oval panel and popped that up with foam tape onto the card.  

Here is Wendy's sketch:

August is full of birthdays (mine included) so I thought I would share a fun birthday card to get "Birthday" month started :)

I started by stamping the Repeat Impressions Vertical Party Negative #5910-M in Versamark ink and then embossed the image with white detail powder.  I sponged on some orange and blue inks and trimmed and matted the image.  I stamped the RI Vertical Birthday #6401-J in black ink onto the left edge of the print panel.  

I finished off the card with some skinny rick rack ribbon and a few shimmer circle stickers.

This would be a great card for anyone in the family.  Go ahead, get the stamps and make a few for your stash....:)

I love this stamp from Repeat Impressions, it is just happy!

I stamped the RI Have A Ball #9703-F onto a scrap of white cardstock and added it to the side of the gumball machine.  Next, I tied a twine bow around the machine and added some Stardust pen to the silver parts of the gumball machine.

RI WIW-Sketch Challenge Time

Hey, hey it's Wednesday and that means that it is What If Wednesday on The House That Stamps Built blog and Wendy has a great sketch to inspire us this week.

I will be taking a little trip East in a few weeks and I have the beautiful sea on my mind and that was the inspiration for this card.  I started with a navy card base and added a layer of aqua solid and print papers.  Next, I added a navy embossed panel that I popped up using foam tape.  I stamped the Repeat Impressions Conch Shell #2410-I in Nautical Blue Memento ink and added a little gray marker for some shading.  I also added some Star Dust stickles just under the shell to give that shimmery beach sand feel.

Here is Wendy's awesome sketch.
