122!

Good morning! I'm back with a new sketch today! This week's layout is meant to be a long card. I designed the sketch as 3.5x6 inches, however, my card ended up being more like 4x6 (I don't have the exact measurements, as it is being delivered to a new home today). Here's the sketch: And here's my card: I kept looking at all the Haiku paper I had picked up, so I decided to use a bit of that! I still absolutely love the freshness of the colours in that line! Originally I was going to stamp something and cut it out, but I didn't have anything that matched exactly, so I ended up using these flowers from one of the papers! Supplies:

• Stamps: Birthday Basics
• Ink: Tangerine Tango
• Paper: Haiku DSP, Kraft, Tangerine Tango
• Accessories, etc.: Pop Dots, Scalloped die

• Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, Aqua Mist (Papertrey Ink), Real Red (Stampin' Up!)

Good morning!

First off a bit of housekeeping, this will be the last sketch posted until the new year. It's a busy time of year around here and it gets tough trying to squeeze in creative time throughout the holidays. FTL122 will be posted in about 3 weeks time, around January 7th.

Now, on to the sketch! This one is ultra simple. I tend to look at layouts like this and I just feel content. There's something very relaxing about keeping a layout very low-key.

And here's my take on the sketch. I had a few thinner scraps lying around from Christmas cardmaking, so I made use of a few!

Supplies:

• Stamps: Patterned Pines (Stampin' Up!), Holidays Treats (Papertrey Ink)
• Cardstock: Ripe Avocado, Pure Poppy, Dark Chocolate, White
• Ink: Ripe Avocado Rich Cocoa
• Accessories, etc. : Scallop Die (Medium), Limitless Layers 1-3/4 circle
