FTL #74 Thanks So Much

I am so happy that Natasha is back with her awesome CAS sketches. This is for FTL#74. I went for the one layer card (OLC). I masked around one of my narrow rectangle nesties with large post it notes so that the entire card front was covered. I then stamped the image in Versamark and embossed it with clear EP. Then I brayered on yellow and orange Adirondak inks. I wiped the ink off of the embossed image and pulled off the Post-it notes and stamped the PaperTrey Ink sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black. I love the challenge to make a OLC!!

The return of FTL (#74)

Hello! I am officially back from holidays. What better way to get back on schedule than with a sketch. The sketch can easily be made into a one layer or a two layer card. Here's the sketch: Here are my samples. Since I was reorganizing my reinkers, I was inspired to use them. I got out the baby wipes, a bit of glossy white paper, and got to work. I took one baby wipe, cut it into 3. Next I added a few drops of reinker to the wipe and simply glided it over the white paper. I did that with each colour, then went back over at the overlapping points. Once the swipes were dry, I stamped this delightful dandelion (by Hero Arts) over top with white pigment ink, added a greeting, then put it together on some white textured cardstock. I really like the contrast of the glossy colour with the textured white. Something I've been meaning to try, but hadn't, was the Mr. Linky widget, so hopefully this works! Leave a link to your version of the sketch! Be sure to include the link directly to your post (and not just your blog) so we can all check it out easily!
