FTL#56

I was wanting to use this color combination of PTI's Summer Sun, Enchanted Evening and Ripe Avacado. The flourish was cut from a Sizzix die and the flowers (buttons) are from my stash. I used a Polka Dot Basics stamp and enchanted evening ink for the polka dots. The ribbon is from my stash as well. The sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages set. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey Polka Dot Basics, Mixed Messages; Ink - Enchanted Evening; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - Sizzix die, buttons, ribbon.

Fall-to Layout 56

This was a sketch based on a card I had made. I tend to use the same layouts or I pick one from my little book of sketches, but this one just kind of came together all on its own. I'm sure it's based off of something I've seen somewhere, because, let's face it, it's hard not to be inspired by the vast amount of stuff out there! Supplies: Stamps: Paradise, Vintage Picnic, Polka Dot Basics II Ink: Dusty Durango, Dark Chocolate Paper: White, Dusty Durango, Dark Chocolate Accessories, etc.: pop dots, chocolate polytwill

Just Because with a hint of a challenge

I wanted to make sure I played along with this month's "dirty" challenge, but I was feeling a bit more clean and simple then complex, so I figured I'd upload it at this blog.

The guidelines were:

• Required Element: Dog images or sentiments and heat of summer color scheme (so think orange, red, mustard, etc.)
• Restricted Element: Flock, or any fuzzy type embellishment
• Keyword: DCDOG809

Supplies: Stamps: Astro Pups (gelatins) Ink: Rich Cocoa, Really Rust Paper: Summer Sun, Dusty Durango, Taken with Teal, White Accessories, etc.: markers, scallop punch, button, string, ribbon, pop dots

Ten Minute Monday - HB You Old Bird!

I made this card for the Ten Minute Monday card and for this week's SCS CAS challenge which is to make a masculine card. Usually I rely on patterned paper to help me with a masculine card - but I wanted a quick and clean card this time. I stamped the owl and sentiment with SU! Chocolate Chip and colored the leaves with SU! Old Olive marker. I thought that the sentiment left a big enough impact that I didn't need to add anything else to this card. Supplies: Stamps - Inkadinkado; Ink - SU! Chocolate Chip; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - SU! Old Olive marker

Ten Minute Monday 08/17/09

I got this cute Hero Arts Dandelion image when I visited my brother in Toronto in July and I hadn't used it yet, gasp! I decided to do a bit of spectrum sponging. I stamped and embossed the flower, then chose my colours- Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Almost Amythest. I added a small brown sentiment and a matching mat and placed it on textured white cardstock!

Supplies:

Stamps: Dandelion (hero arts), Mixed Messages (PTI)

Ink: Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Almost Amythest, Rich Cocoa

Paper: White, Dark Chocolate, Textured White

Accessories, etc.: White EP, sponge
