FTL65 - Thank You

Hi everyone! Hope you've been having a great day. :) This is the card I created using the Fall-to Layout 65 Sketch posted last Friday.

I started with a Melon Berry base and stamped it with one of the Giga Guidelines images in white ink. Next, I cut out a 1 1/2 x 4 1/4" strip of white card stock and layered it onto two strips of brown card stock that had been punched with my Fiskars Upper Crest Punch. To finish up, I added some ribbon around the white strip, attached it to the card base, punched and layered the sentiment, then added stickles. Whew, that was wordy. :)

Supplies:

Stamps - Giga Guidelines, Fall Elegance

Ink - Fresh Snow, Melon Berry

Paper - Melon Berry, Dark Chocolate, Stamper's Select White

Miscellaneous - Melon Berry Grosgrain Ribbon, Small Oval Punch, Large Oval, Fiskars Upper Crest Punch, Stickles

Snowy Greetings

Here's my card for this week's sketch! I used the adorable penguin from It's a Snow Day as my sentiment embellishment shown in the sketch. My background was made by running shimmery blue paper through the Wizard with Impressabilities Snowflake background. I finished off the card with a scalloped border and a bit of stickles on the penguin's hat and scarf.

FTL64 - Thankful for You

Happy Sunday! Hope you've been having a wonderful weekend! :)

This is the card I created based off of the Fall-to Layout #64 sketch that Natasha posted on Friday. I stayed pretty true to the sketch, and tried to use more Fall-ish colors this week. I don't know what it is, but I find Fall colors harder to work with... LOL, it's probably because I always want to stick pink in there somewhere! :) Supplies: Stamps - Fall Elegance; Ink - Orange Zest, Stazon Brown; Paper - Old Olive, Aqua Mist, Orange Zest, Stamper's Select White, Dark Chocolate Bitty Dot; Miscellaneous - 2" Circle Punch, Spring Moss Grosgrain Ribbon
