Ten Minute Monday- 07/13/09

Wow, I love it when my post publishes and there's nothing in it, lol!

Anyway, here's my card. I just got this fun Scattered Leaf Border stamp by Hero Arts and needed to be it to good use! I stamped glossy cardstock with versamark, heat set it, then started sponging various Memento inks all over, spectrum style. Next I stamped a sentiment and two leaves on some vanilla cardstock, cut those out and pieced it all together on some textured brown cardstock. Supplies: Stamps: Scattered Leaf Border, Sentiment (both by Hero Arts) Ink: Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Potter's Clay, Rhubarb, Rich Cocoa, Versamark Paper: Textured Brown, Vanilla Accessories, etc.: Sponge, pop dots

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
