Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #746

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

 

 

Here's the sketch with which we'd like to challenge you this week. 

The design team was instructed to
think brush strokes for those rectangles below the focal point.

 

Unfortunately, I neglected to bring any brushes with me to our winter home.  But I did bring my box of ink cubes, which I used instead.  This card could be used as a Father's Day card or a birthday card.

(Papers and stamps are from a SU Paper Pumpkin kit.)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. 

The Design Team invites you to stop by

 and visit their blogs, too.

This Father's Day/Dad birthday card will make a nice addition to my Send a Smile 4 Kids box, which I better get in the mail soon!

The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the die cut borders are MFT.  I fussy cut the three letters.

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #700

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

Here is a new sketch for you to try:

I'm just about finished making Mother's Day cards.  So I started making Father's Day cards.  

 

I thought this was an easy design and great for using scraps.

 

 

 

The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #698

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

This week we have a brand new sketch for you to try.

I really had to put on my thinking cap for this one!  My hexagon dies are in Pennsylvania.  I'm in Florida.  Hmmm!

Since sketches are meant to be a jumping off point, I thought I'd try using triangles instead.   But there was something about that card front I didn't like.  Then I discovered I could make hexagons with 6 little triangles.   How'd I do?

I'm getting an early start on Father's Day cards for SAS4Kids, 

although this would make a fine birthday card, too.

 

The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Ruff Day

Hoping you'll like another Father's Day card featuring Funny Pup, a Bugaboo digi image.  I used the female version on another card a few days ago. 

 This pooch is colored with pencils, except for his eyebrows.  I used a black gel pen for those to get them real black.

Double Trouble Challenge #58

Today I'm sharing a masculine card with lots of circles that is also entered in the Use Your Stuff challenge, so Trouble Maker, Twisted Sister and Double Dare at Double Trouble Challenge #58 should all be happy.

 The DAD stamps are from SU; everything else is CTMH.

I started out stamping the letters on gray cs, fussy cut them, and then decided I didn't like them.  I also dry embossed the background with a gear design, but it doesn't show up very well.

And since I already had the gray letters ready to use, I did.

 

Both cards will work well for Father's Day, birthday, or just about any occasion.

For a very lovable Old Goat & CTMH Card Class 8/27/19

Each year I make a birthday card for my cousin Nancy's Dad.

I try to make something with a farm theme because live on a farm that has been in the family 250 years.

Here is this year's card:

 

Inside the card it simply says, "I'm so glad to be your kid." 

This card has a bit of everything and was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.
