Happy May! {BYSHC} Sketch 45

 Happy May! With the beginning of a new month comes a new sketch and a new sponsor at {BYSHC}! This month's sponsor is Newton's Nook Designs! 

Today's card features a retired (and unfortunately no longer available) adorable Llama set! It's called Llama delivery. I started with the snowflake background which is kraft cardstock, Snowflake Frenzy  background stamp from Unity Stamp Co., versamark embossing pad and Gina K. Designs white embossing powder. After the embossing powder had been melted I die cut it and a piece of red scrap using a Pink Fresh Studio edge die from the set called classic edgers (which also appears to no longer be available). The plaid paper is from a 6x6 pad from PhotoPlay called Its a Wonderful Christmas. I stamped and die cut the llama and then colored with Tombow ABT markers. I added a vellum circle behind to break it up a bit and then stamped and die cut the sentiment! Added some foam tape and enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

This sketch runs through the end of the month! As I said at the beginning....Newton's Nook Designs is our sponsor for this month's prize! $20 gift card to spend in the store AND a 15% off coupon code! Use the code BYSH at checkout for 15% off all winter and Christmas items!

Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge - #222 Sketch (number 2)

 Wednesday is my day off so I tend to stay in my jammies as long as possible!  LOL That's why there are two cards today! :) Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge is a Sketch #222!

Started with a white card base. I ink smooshed with seedless preserves, saltwater taffy and salvaged patina onto a white piece of cardstock. I wanted to have a "celebration" kind of feel! After it dried, I die cut it with the largest scalloped and stitched rectangle die from Unity. To that I added a rectangle of vellum and loosely measured the kraft rectangles and cut them. The llama is from a retired set called Llama Delivery. I stamped and die cut this sweet guy and colored to match the background with Tombow ABT markers. I stamped three of the "present" which is part of the llama set directly onto the cardstock. But what do you do if you don't like it?!?! You embellish it!! I decided that the middle one needed some dimension so I stamped again onto cardstock and cut it out. Llama and present are popped up with foam tape! The sentiment and the streamers are from a Unity Stamp Co. sentiment kit called extended celebration.

Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge - #222 Sketch

 Hello again friends! I have created a card for the current Inky Paws Challenge at Newton's Nook Designs. Sketch #222 is the challenge! You all know I love a sketch!!

I guesstimated the measurements and to be honest I didn't really keep track of what they were! LOL I just held the paper up and marked it with a pencil!

Started with a white card base, to that I added the peach background. I then cut a piece of white with the smallest scalloped and stitched rectangle die from Unity. I then stamped the cutest mouse from Newton's Nook Designs set called Garden Mice along with a few flowers and a butterfly from the same set.  I used the matching die set to cut them out. I colored with Tombow ABT Markers. The peachy gingham paper is from Unity in a set called Pastel Gingham Perfection. I stamped the sentiment (also from the Garden Mice set) directly onto the patterned paper. Added some foam tape and glued it all together!

Sketch link is open until Friday!
