Fall to Layout #29

Not only is this a sketch based on Dawn McVey's, it is also based on colors that she uses together! This color combination is totally outside my comfort zone but I like it! I used the Fleur di Leis from PTI's Simply Stationery set with Versamark on the Raspberry Fizz layer. That layer is matted with Ripe Avocado paper. The sentiment, also from Simply Stationey was stamped in Old Olive on Yellow Tart card stock, and mounted on a scalloped oval cut with Nestabilities from Ripe Avocado card stock. I finished it off with a lemon tart satin ribbon. Supplies: Stamps - Papertrey Simply Stationery; Ink - SU! Old Olive, Versamark; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - PaperTrey ribbon, Nestabilities

Time for another sketch! This one was inspired by one of my favorite CAS stampers, Dawn McVey . In case you've been out of the loop, she's got a stamp set debuting tomorrow evening at Papertrey Ink. I really liked what she did with the damask image to make background paper. It's nice to have a card focus on a pattern. All it needs is a small sentiment and your choice of embellishments.

I kept my card themed in the spirit of Valentine's Day. I really liked the effect of the fancy label underneath the sentiment on Dawn's card. I used the Label One Nestabilities for that. If you cut the squares in half, you can match them back up to make a more rectangular shape. It worked out well for this, since I knew I'd be placing the sentiment piece over top. The seam is completely hidden. The rest of the card seems pretty self explanatory. I added in one extra layer. I just can't help myself, I love having that 1/16'' border between my main image panel and the card base!
