No Line Watercoloring with Inktense Pencils and Create a Smile Stamps

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card featuring Create a Smile stamps and Inktense no line watercoloring. I recorded the coloring of this card on a Periscope broadcast and was able to upload it to YouTube if you want to check it out. However it is much more fun to join in the live broadcasts because you can chat. So follow @JessCrafts on Periscope to catch the next live broadcast. 

I stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink because the Distress Ink will react with water and blend in. Any light colored Distress Ink would work similarly. For Inktense pencil coloring I color directly to the paper for the intense color. The sentiment is a mix of Create a Smile Cool Buddies and Newton’s Nook Simply Sentimental.

CAS(E) this Sketch #4

I love the sketches at CAS(E) this Sketch but I also love patterned paper so it’s a bit tricky for me to be as CAS as others but I’m trying. I created this card with my Paper Made Bakery kit from October. The November kit was revealed yesterday so be sure to check it out. Can’t wait for mine! Anyway those little flowers and the sentiment are from the Fresh Squeezed Stamp Sweet Life set. Check out the sketch below. Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch 3

With Hurricane Sandy headed our way we are cooped up inside trying to ride out the storm safely. Which means a day off of work and some extra crafting time. However the stormy weather doesn’t make for good pictures of the card. I made this simple card for CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge 3. I’m loving their sketches and I’m trying keep my cards CAS which can sometimes be a challenge in and of itself. The papers are Kaisercraft and from the latest card kit from my LSS Scapper’s Cove. Loving all the cute little creatures from this line but I’m running out of paper to pair the creatures with. Anyone else in the path of Hurricane Sandy, be safe!

Cas(e) This Sketch #2

Last week I saw a great sketch on someone’s blog but couldn’t remember where it was from then luckily I stumble upon CAS(E) This Sketch once again and got pretty excited. Loving these sketches and this time I am sharing my card with the sketch and am able to link it up. Sorry for the crummy photo but I took the original in the good format and when I realized this the sun was already down. Anyway check out these fun and simple sketches. It’s a bit of a challenge for me to make a card CAS but it’s fast which is a benefit. The stamps are from Fresh Squeezed Stamps and paper is from my Paper Made Bakery kit.
