FTL 91 Happy Fathers Day

Well this was an experiment!  I wanted to use the Masculine Motifs set from PaperTrey to make a Fathers Day card.  The sailboat is a solid stamp.  I stamped it on the back of the patterned paper and cut it out.  I used a cloud background stamp from Taylored Expressions and took artistic license - you can see the cloud reflections on the water!  Another great sketch from Natasha!
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey, Taylored Expressions; Ink - Adirondack Aqua, PaperTrey Ocean Tides; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - EK Success border punch, Foam Squares

FTL 91!

Good afternoon! Here's this week's sketch. I've used a flower in both my sketch and my card, feel free to use some other object that busts off the card a bit! I was in the mood for some In Colors and this card just kind of came together!
Supplies: Stamps: Beautiful Blooms II, Birthday Basics, Text Style II Ink: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede Paper: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, White Accessories, etc.: Big Scallops and Floral dies by PTI
It's a long weekend in Canada, hope everyone has a great weekend! If you decide to play along, feel free to drop a link here:

FTL90 - Happy Birthday


Hi, everyone! :) Here's what I came up with using the Fall-to Layout Sketch #90 that Natasha posted last Friday.  I have been obsessed lately with Papertrey's Hawaiian Shores color, and practically had to break my fingers in order to keep from reaching for it as my base! LOL

Have a great night!

Supplies:
Stamps - Dot Spot & Floral Fusion (Papertrey Ink)
Paper - Kraft, Spring Moss, Stamper's Select White
Ink - Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate
Miscellaneous - Corner Chomp, Hawaiian Shores Satin Ribbon

FTL 90

This sketch was a challenge for me ~ you do NOT want to see my reject pile, lol!  I finally went with punched out polka dots so I could manipulate where to spread them out, and I am really liking how this finally turned out. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:  stamps - Vintage Picnic (PTI); paper - hawaiian shores, aqua mist, plum pudding, ripe avocado, white; ink - black; acc - circle punches (1", 3/4", 1/2"), black gg ribbon
