FTL 90!

Hello! Here's this week's sketch. I have to admit, I made the card first, really liked how it turned out, so I turned it into the sketch! I quite like Hawaiian Shores, Lemon Tart, and Spring Moss together and will probably make a few more kinds with this colour scheme over the next while. My card is very simple. I started off with a 3.75x5 piece of white cardstock, rounded the bottom 2 corners, then began stamping. A good tip for when you are combining 3 or more images- always start with the biggest image and work your way down. So here, I stamped the lemon flower first, then the turquoise ones, then the itty bitty green ones. To complete the card, I added a Spring Moss mat, tied some ribbon around it, and put the whole thing on a Hawaiian Shores card base. As a side note, even though Hawaiian Shores is not the exact same as Bermuda Bay, I think it will do just fine as a substitute when that colour is no longer available! Supplies: Stamps: Beautiful Blooms II, Birthday Basics Ink: Lemon Tart, Spring Moss, Hawaiian Shores Paper: White, Spring Moss, Hawaiian Shores Accessories, etc: Corner Rounder, Ribbon The winner of Round & Round is....Lucky Number 171! Summer Braxton! I will be emailing you shortly! As always, feel free to leave a link to your card!

Ten Minute Monday + Giveaway

Hello! I've got an ultra quick card for you today featuring Papertrey Ink's 3rd anniversary set, Round and Round. I stamped the image on a pre-cut circle. Then I stamped it again on some scrap cardstock, once in Hawaiian Shores and once in Lemon Tart. I cut out each flower and attached them with a pop dot onto the original image. So, can you guess what I have in the giveaway department? This very set, I've got a spare ready to go to someone who didn't earn it! Here's a link to the set if you would like to take a peek. To be eligible, please leave a comment on this post, I'll be doing the draw Thursday, May 13th at 9:00PM CST. Good luck!

FTL89 Wishing You the Best



Another great sketch from Natasha!! I already had these leaves cut out from another card I made this past week so this was the perfect sketch to use them with. 
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black, SU! Pale Plum; Paper - PaperTrey

Eighty Nine!

Wow! Every week when I post the sketch, I can't believe how many there have been! Here's this week's sketch.

Feel free to use any shape in place of the stars, I used flowers. Supplies:Stamps: Beautiful Blooms, Big & Bold Wishes Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise Paper: White, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores Accessories, etc.: buttons * In regards to a comment question- I didn't end up die cutting the flowers. I have the die, and I know there's a way to line it up. I ended up stamping the flowers and cutting them out since I was short on time and that seemed quicker than figuring out how to line them up. * I thought I'd try using inlinkz this week, see how it goes!
