FTL83 - Thinking of You

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying the 1st day of Spring! :)

This card was created for this week's Fall-to Layout #83. I had these butterflies sitting around waiting to be used up, and was psyched when Natasha sent us this week's sketch!

Well, I need to run for now, but I hope you have a great day!

• Stamp white background image on berry CS, then adhere to card base with pop dots.
• Print butterflies onto white CS, color with Copics and gel pen, then cut out.
• Print sentiment onto white CS, attach orange scallop edge, then adhere to card base.
• Attach butterflies with pop dots.

FTL83 Wishing You Well

I used the colors form the Color Throw Down blog - CTD84.  I think they worked well with this sketch!  I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to add texture which was the Stamp Simply (ssnotime131) challenge for today.

Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Paper - DCWV, PaperTrey, SU!; Misc - Velvet Flowers, brads, EK Success border punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder

Sketchtastically 83

This card was inspired by a card I made at this week's Stamp Club, with my demo Fran. I liked the general layout, and simplified it by taking away some of the embossing. Here's my take, apparently I was in a very pink, girly mood. I didn't really plan the card much, it just kind of happened. Measurements:

• Card base: 4.25x5.5
• Light Pink- 3.75x5
• Raspberry- 2.5x2
• White sentiment panel:1.75x2.25

Supplies: Stamps: Vintage Picnic, Blooming Button Bits Paper: Pretty in Pink, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, White Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst Accessories, etc.: Eyelet border punch, buttons, dotted embossing folder Feel free to leave a link in the Mr. Linky widget

Ten Minute Thursday?

I just really wanted to share this card (technically I made it Tuesday, but I only uploaded it today). As I discussed over at my other blog I've gotten a little into letterpress, or at least attempting to make a faux version. This card features two of my designs that I had made into photopolymer plates. I inked them up with some grey ink (from Lifestyle Letterpress) and ran them through my cuttlebug on some luscious Crane Lettra cotton paper. I love the results! I also liked how the sun was shining, so I photographed it without the photo box. I think it helped the texture of the pressed design and the paper appear a bit clearer.

I added an extra layer to the sketch, and yes my buttons are naked, but hopefully you will let it slide because this is a CAS blog, after all! Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having a great weekend!
