FTL 64!

This week's sketch is similar to some I've done in the past, but I thought it'd be good to share anyway! If you're wanting some measurements: The outer main panel is 3-3/8x4-7/8. I thought this would be another fun layout for using up some of that patterned paper. It's become somewhat of a goal of mine, using it up! Supplies: Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Vintage Picnic Ink:Rich Cocoa Paper: White, Bermuda Bay, Thoroughly Modern Accessories, etc.: brad, tag die cut, ribbon, copics

10 Minute Monday on Tuesday

I created this card for the SCS color challenge today and for a class assignment in the Great Card Design Class that I am taking online with Julie Ebersole. I had saved the negative cut from my Cuttlebug Buttrfly die cut so I used that as a mask. I sponged on Taken with Teal and Apricot Appeal and then stamped the silhouettes with Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is from Verve's Abundant Blessings as is the cattail silhouette. The dragonfly is from PaperTrey's Pond Life. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey, Verve; Ink - SU! Taken with Teal, Apricot Appeal, Chocolate Chip; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - sponge, mask
