Sketchy Friday

Here it is, number 50! I can't believe it's a been almost a year's worth of these sketches already. It can be hard work sometimes, coming up with a sketch. I am so happy so many people find them useful! I appreciate all your kind words and I love seeing your take on the sketches! Dimensions:
  • Spring Moss 4-1/4x2--1/4
  • Plum Pudding 4-1/4x2-3/8
  • Lavender Moon Card Base 4-1/4x11
  • Six 3/4 inch circles
I just recently purchased Together Forever and coordinating wheel (which is no longer a wheel, but a background strip mounted on EZ Mount...). I love the floral images in this set. The mix of fonts is quite nice too.

I started by stamping 6 flowers on white paper and punched those out. Next I stamped the background paper and added the ribbon. Be sure to add the ribbon before the 6 circular elements, that way you have a guideline. I attached the flowers with pop dots then added my sentiment to the card base. Because of the punching and background stamping, this was quite a quick card to make.

Supplies: Stamps: Together Forever, Forever Flowers wheel Ink: Plum Pudding, Spring Moss Paper: White, Plum Pudding, Lavender Moon, Spring Moss Accessories, etc.: Grosgrain, pop dots

Ten-minute Thursday

Yes, I bought this whole stamp set JUST for the pear. I love pear stamps! The pear looks really dark, but it's just new leaf ink stamped on lemon tart, colored in with white gel pen, and gems added to the centers of the flowers for a little bling. Supplies: stamps - Tutti Fruitti (Lizzie Anne Designs) paper - celery, new leaf, lemon tart ink - new leaf, white gel pen acc - dimensionals, gems

FTL49 - Thinking of You

Hi everyone! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that I was asked to be a contributor for the weekly sketches. :) I found my way to this awesome blog via Becky's blog 4 months ago, and have been hooked ever since. I *love* sketch challenges, but sometimes I find myself having to sit them out because I can't find a way to make them fit my style (LOL, whatever that is!)... I never feel that way with the sketches posted here every week. You can keep them CAS or you can dress them up a bit, and I love that!

Here is the sample I came up with using the Fall-to Layout #49 sketch. I stayed pretty true to the sketch that was provided, the only changes being that my strip of patterned paper is 1 1/4", and I didn't tie a bow with my ribbon.

Supplies:
Stamps - Ashley's Blossoms (My Cute Stamps), Vintage Picnic Basic Sentiments (PTI)
Ink - Stazon Black
Paper - Raspberry Fizz, Whisper White, Basic Black, Black & White Basics
Miscellaneous - Raspberry Fizz Twill Ribbon, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch
