FTL 82 Happy Birthday

Another layout with lots of possibilities.  I used an Inkadinkado butterfly image and blinged it up with Amuse Twinklers of various sizes.  The sentiment is from PaperTrey.
Supplies: Stamps - Inkadinkado, PaperTrey; Paper - PaperTrey; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Misc - Amuse Twinklers, MS border punch, ribbon

Eighty Two

Good morning! I'm so glad today's finally Friday, it really seemed like a longer than usual week. Here's this week's sketch: I kept things ultra simple with a 2 tone colour scheme. Bermuda Bay and white are quite sharp together. The flowers are from gel-a-tins Wild Things. The sentiment is from PTI's Vintage Picnic. If you play along, feel free to leave a link in the Mr. Linky widget. I'm slowly getting to viewing everyone's work from past sketches. I am continually overwhelmed by how many people enjoy the sketches. So thank you, it warms my heart each week :D

FTL81 - Miss You

 
Hi everyone! This is what I came up with using the Fall-to Layout #81 Sketch posted on Friday by Natasha.  I *loved* the card she created (isn't that gray CS fabulous?!), so I wanted to try to make something that was slightly different, and yet, still true to the sketch.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!! :)

Instructions:
  • Create 3 1/4" x 6" kraft card base.
  • Cut 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" piece of kraft CS and punch four 1" circles.
  • Adhere piece of patterned paper behind the kraft layer, then stamp sentiment in brown ink.
  • Attach layer to card base with pop dots.

Supplies:
Stamps - Mega Mixed Messages
Paper - Kraft, Reminisce "Lovely"
Ink - Dark Chocolate
Miscellaneous - 1" Circle Punch

#81

Hello! Happy Friday afternoon! This week's sketch is a really basic clean and simple design. The key is to use circles. Feel free to make the circles with patterned paper, as I have, or to fill them with small images or embellishments. I used a 1-inch circle punch. Here's my take on the sketch. I used papers from the Sweet Pea pack. The sentiment is from a PTI stamp set. If you play along, feel free to leave a link below!

  • Punch scallop edge from brown CS and adhere to card base.
  • Stamp flower stem in brown ink onto cream CS, and round upper right corner.
  • Stamp two flower images onto cream CS with aqua ink, cut out, and adhere to flower stem.
