Mid-Week Inspiration @ FTHS

Hi everyone!!!
 
Welcome to the Mid-Week Inspiration post @ FTHS :)
 
Faith is recovering from her treatment so we are using another recycled older one this week and are revisiting Sketch No. # 2.  Since there was no tWiSt at the beginning, there is also no tWiSt this week.
 
 So just the sketch – we hope you have fun with it anyway !
 
Here is my take on the sketch!

 
 
Image: Surprised Birdbrain
Paper: Heidi Swap Wanderlust
Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop edge die
Sketch: Recycled Sketch 2

 
I went very CAS so that the image was the 'star'.  Hope you have time to join us this week. We would love to see your creations!
 
Don't forget -
Use any size or shape, feel free to
  • rotate it
  • flip it
  • and embellish as you like
but the sketch it should be recognizable!  
 
 As always, a From the Heart Stamps image is required.  Please check out the Challenge Rules under the tab “Challenges.”
 
 
Thanks for joining us today!!

Mid Week Inspiration @ FTHS

Hi everyone!!!
 
Welcome to the Mid-Week Inspiration post @ FTHS :)
 
Faith is our specialist in graphics and she brings the sketches into the form you see every week. Since she is still recovering from her treatment, there are currently no new sketches.
For this reason, we have recycle old ones and our dear Lyn had the great idea to start again at Sketch No. # 1. It was the first sketch from  2013 (!).  Since there was no tWiSt at the beginning, there is also no tWiSt this week. So just the sketch – we hope you have fun with it anyway !
 
Here's my take!!


Recycled Sketch #1




Image: Harriet PigWit Mud Bath
Paper: ki Metro Garden, Vellum
Coloring Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circle dies, Memory Box Stitched Rectangle dies, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze Icicle
Sketch: Recycle #1


Remember - Use any size or shape, feel free to
  • rotate it
  • flip it
  • and embellish as you like
but the sketch it should be recognizable!  
 As always, a From the Heart Stamps image is required.  Please check out the Challenge Rules under the tab “Challenges.”
 
Hope you can join us!!

April Blog Hop @ FTHS

It's time for our From the Heart Stamps April blog hop!!
 
We have a “I’m no Spring Chicken” theme this month. Our designers are each showing a project created with some sort of bird on their card.

We had temps here this past weekend in the Midwest of upper 50's to 60 degrees. Very spring like so I am ready for it!
 
If you have arrived from Lyn you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.
 
Here is my project
 
 
Paper: Doodlebug Designs Hello Sunshine
Color Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: the Paper Studio Enamel dots, Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circles die, Spellbinders Lacey Circle die

As you can see I also used the new sketch this week, and a couple of the colors.
 
 
Now head over to Ruth and see what she has created. As you hop along, leave a comment on each blog. We will select a random winner from the comments on each blog and on the FTHS blog to win one image of your choice.
 
Our hop will end on Sunday April 9th 2017 at 6 am, and the winners will be posted on Wednesday April 13th.
 
Thanks for hopping with us today.
