Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a card created for two current challenges – Retrosketches #147 and ColourQ #274 – using Penny Black dies.
I’m enjoying fresh color combinations. We’ve got a heavy fog that hasn’t lifted for several days so I’m dreaming of someplace warm and colorful!
Penny Black Supplies – 51-038 Hooray, 51-032 Pennant, 51-016 Dancing Leaves, 51-002 Leaves and 51-050 Tweet Things.
I created a “hello” card to play along with Retrosketches #146.
I paired Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers with a sentiment from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set. I’m really enjoying crafting with colors inspired by sunnier weather!
Hope you’re having a “sunshiny” day!
I’m sharing a card I created for the latest Retrosketches Challenge. I flipped the sketch horizontally because I thought it worked better with the orientation of the umbrella.
Using the Crafter’s Workshop blank stencil material, I created a rain drop stencil with the Memory Box die. I also created an umbrella stencil using the Up and Away umbrella die cut. I added Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink to the stamped umbrella through the stencil, swiping from the top down. It’s raining here (pouring!) in the Pacific Northwest, so some cheery colors were in order!!

Time was running out for me to use the “Happy Easter” stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I created a springtime, Easter card to play along with this week’s Retrosketches sketch.
There’s a hint of Copic coloring on the rabbit, although it didn’t photograph well. The bunny is popped up with some dimensional adhesive. I cut the sentiment strip in half so that I could stack the greeting.
Happy Easter and Happy Spring (Happy Fall to those of you in the Southern Hemisphere)!
