This sketch was very different from any other that I have done. I made my card 4.25 in square so it would fit in an A2 envelope. I decided to use red, white and blue for the colors in honor of Memorial Day in the US and to participate in Sharon Johnson's ssnotime88 challenge (use red, white and blue). I used the 2 sizes of star stamps in PTI"s Everyday Classics stamp set and made background paper. Then I cut a circle from that paper with my classic Nestabilities and matted it with a Scallop Circle Nestability. I cut out a red star from the background paper and popped it up on top of a stamped star. I adhered the circle with dimensionals. I used three different ribbons for the strips and I stamped the sentiment on the white ribbon. Supplies: Stamps - PTI Everyday Classics; Ink - Pallette Starry Night, SU! Real Red; Paper - PaperTrey Stampers Select, PTI Poppy Red; Misc - Netabilities, dimensionals, ribbon

FTL 43
Hello! Happy Friday! Here's this week's sketch. I figured it was time for a square card again. I wanted something ultra simple, but more than a single layer. This is what I came up with:
The dimensions I used:
The dimensions I used:
Spring Moss strip: 3-7/8x1/2
Ripe Avocado dotted strip: 3-1/8x7/8
Dark Chocolate strip: 3-1/2x3/8
Circles: Approximately 1-7/8 diameter and 2-1/8 diameter
Card Size: 4-1/4x4-1/4
The card is quite simple. I stamped and cut out the tree, then arranged the papers as I had sketched out, and added a greeting.
Supplies:
Stamps: Trendy Trees, Birthday Basics
Ink: Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate
Paper: Vintage Cream, Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate, Bitty Dots (Avocado), Kraft
Accessories, etc.: pop dots, circle nestabilities
As always, feel free to leave a link to your card in the comments!
