I haven't been stamping in two weeks since I've had a hip replacement - and I was having a bit of trouble getting back into making cards. So this sketch combined with Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge got me started. It felt great to get back to card making! I stamped the umbrellas onto the white paper, then stamped them again and cut them out and adhered them to the image panel with dimensionals. I added the flower for balance - it just looked funny without it. Supplies: Stamps - PTI ; Ink - PTI Berry Sorbet, Aquamist and Versamagic Jumbo Java; Paper - PTI Stampers Select, PTI Bitty Dot Basics, PTI Chocolate Brown; Misc - May Arts Satin Ribbon, Fiskars Threading Water Border punch, Prima Flower, half back pearl, dimensionals.

Sketch time
Ready for another sketch?
This sketch is based off of a card I made almost a month ago. Although it's not ultra simple, I really like the linear design and the proportions. I made three versions, this yellow one, a pink one, and a blue one. I love using clear sheets as my card base and I especially love adding a cool background with white stazon. I did a bit of rock'n'rolling for the flowers. I really love mixing lemon tart with just a touch of summer sunrise around the edges.
