FTL176 For My Valentine

My card is 6"x3".  A very quick and easy sketch.
Supplies: Stamps - WoodwareUSA (sentiment); Paper - PaperTrey, MME; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Misc - Heart Nestabilities, MS Lacy Heart Border punch

176!

Here's the sketch! Although I show 4 elements on the card, the idea is to just have a repeated element more than 3 times. I was trying to do something different from the usual clean and simple trio. I made my card 6x3.5. The main panel ended up being 5-7/8x2-1/2.
I am really enjoying the Filigree border die from PTI. It really classes up a card. This ended up being a more formal thank you than I intended, but I still like it! I had also forgotten how much I like Melon Berry, Vintage Cream, and Dark Chocolate together. I also discovered that Terracotta Tile makes a nice accent colour with that colour trio.
Supplies:
  • Stamps: Giga Guidelines, Guidelines II
  • Ink: Vintage Cream, Melon Berry, Dark Chocolate
  • Paper: Vintage Cream, Melon Berry, Terracotta Tile
  • Accessories, etc.: Filigree border die
As always, please leave a link to your project!

FTL175 Kindness Matters

I love this week's sketch! It's one that can be used over and over again with any stamp set, colors, everything! I have a lot of white space on this card and used a very light color, so I hope it shows up as pretty here as it really is if you were looking at it. There's a lot of dimension to this card with the image and sentiment panel on foam dots, as well as the postage stamp images. My center panel is cut to the same measurements that Natasha provided for you in the sketch introduction.

I hope that you enjoy it and thank you for visiting our challenge and sharing your work with us. We love your inspiration!

I am so sorry that I didn't play along last week... I have only lame excuses like a lack of time to create, a lack of mojo and sadly, I just couldn't come up with an idea for the sketch.  So instead of making a card I hated, I decided to just not play.

But I am playing this week...

*Patterned Paper:  Stampin' Up!
