I like the way you roll...Atlantic Hearts sketch inspiration

Good morning!  It's time again for new sketch inspiration over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I had sushi twice in the past week and it reminded me that I have never ever used my sushi stamps!  I loved them and wanted them so bad...I no longer shop that way instead I am focusing on using up my stash.  I also used the floral washi tape for the first time.  

Here's the sketch:

I hope you enjoy seeing me use my stash as opposed to the latest and greatest.  I also pulled out my alcohol markers on which I have invested a lot of money.  More power to spending less and using more!

Ingredients:

Spectrum Noir Poppy and Meadow, Copic R46 Strong Red, and Touch G46 Vivid Green

Maya Road sushi stamps

Recollections Cheeky Modern pop (sentiment)

Copic Express card stock

red card stock base

washi tape

Quick Quotes chalking ink Midnight Confessions

Colorbox black ink

Judikins Black detail embossing powder

Fairy Scene: Single layer Savy with Camp Create

Another installment of Camp Create AND another opportunity to use new product I worked so hard for at Stampaway!  This time I relied heavily on my new Eclipse tape from Judikins to mask the images to layer the scene on this one layer card. Which is this challenges' theme:  Single Layer Savvy.

I could have done a bit better with masking the sentiment and just a tad more detail on the fairy...but I must keep in mind this is camp and I am trying new techniques!  Next time I will do a better job!

This fairy seems a bit withdrawn so I kept the tones muted for more of a sympathy type card.  I also used the hint in one of the MFT videos about using a makeup sponge to get multiple colors on your stamp and not ruin the stamp pad.  I tried that on the mushroom with the grass below it.  If I had been going for a bolder look I would have also tried outlining the stamp lines in black but I preferred to stay muted with this card.  I did add a little wink of stella on the wings and dots of the mushroom.  Finally I added Glossy Accents to the dots on the shroom and the frog's eyes for just a tiny bit of texture.

Ingredients:

Close to My Heart Toadstool stamp set

Brilliance Graphite Black ink

Stampin Up Wild Wasabi

Wink of Stella Clear and White

Glossy Accents

Stampin Up Watercolor pencils

Distress inks: Weathered Wood and Broken China

Copic Markers E00 & E21
