Throwback Thursday Challenge

 I recently joined a Facebook group called 'Share Handmade Kindness' which is a venture of Jennifer McGuire Ink . The first Thursday of the month they do a Throwback Thursday to a previously shared technique lesson. 

Today the challenge was to use embossing folders with an inking technique. 

I'm not much of a Valentines, hearts and flowers, etc person but wanted to have a few cards on hand just in case I needed something like this, even if not for Valentines Day. 

Embossing folder is Tapestry by Gina K Designs as are the sequins, cardstock and red velvet ink. 

Greeting is from Erin Lee Creative

Thanks for visiting!

Freshly Made Sketches #567

 Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to the first sketch of the year from Freshly Made Sketches. Number 567! 

I had a lot of fun with this one. As part of my craft room overhaul I got rid of a LOT of stamps that ceased to inspire me or felt off trend for right now. I took advantage of Gina K Designs massive end of the year sale and built my stash back a bit with some things that really spoke to my style. 

Last night Gina hosted a stamp and chat where she taught a technique using white colored pencil resist and ink blending. I immediately thought of this Queen Anne's Lace from the Whimsical Wildflowers set. 

It took a bit of time but it turned out as I'd hoped!
