112!

Good afternoon! We're taking the sketch square this week. It's been a while, so why not, right? I had picked up these giant gem stone brads for use on a costume. Of course, I didn't need 12, so I decided to work a card around one. I found this paper daisy and stamped it with a text background. I really enjoy customizing my own embellishments! Because I ended up using grey tones, I decided to not make it a birthday card. It seemed like it would be depressing to say Happy Birthday, but it didn't seem depressing to have it say Thank You. Supplies:
  • Stamps: Background Basics: Text Style II, Round and Round
  • Paper: White, Black, Basic Grey, Soft Stone
  • Ink: Versafine Black Onyx
  • Accessories, etc.: Corner Rounder, Flower, Satin Ribbon, Gem Stone brad

FTL111 Happy Birthday

I love these colors for a fall birthday!  I had the leaf left over from another project.  I did a water color wash with Pearl Ex and Twinkling H20's on water color paper, then cut and embossed the leaf with a Cuttlebug leaf die and embossing folder set.  The sentiment is from PaperTrey's Birthday Bash Sentiments.
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Hawaiian Shores; Paper - WaterColor Paper, DCWV Spring Mat Stack; Misc - Ribbon, Cuttlebug Leaf Die and Embossing Folder, Foam Squares

111!

Good afternoon! Here's this week's sketch! The tab is totally optional, it is somewhat dependent on what theme you go with. I ended up doing winter elegance, so the tab didn't fit. But if you did something like the fun flower on the sketch, it would work! Here's my take. I stamped some snowflakes on the vellum to give a subtle and soft layered look. Supplies:
  • Stamps: Snowflake Serenade, Holiday Wishes
  • Ink: Elegant Evening, Spring Rain, Fresh Snow
  • Paper: Vellum, Elegant Evening, Spring Rain, White
As always, if you play along, feel free to leave a link!
