FTL135 Always A Friend

My son was away last week on a trip with his high school band... and I was a nice Mom and let him borrow my camera (just a point and shoot) to take on the trip...  so I couldn't take photos of cards until yesterday!  The kid had a great time, actually used the camera at a couple of their stops, and I am here with my CAS card for this week...

I will warn you... it's not what I had in my head...

Items Used:
*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Pear Pizzazz
*Images:  unknown sentiment
*Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
*Embellishments:  Prima flowers; unknown button, Twinery twine


I hope you'll play along with us this week!

FTL 135

Since I used a dark patterned paper, I moved the sentiment onto the long strip.  These colors make me happy! Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
stamps - Birthday Basics
paper - cream, hawaiian shores, simply chartreuse, Oct Afternoon pp (I think)
ink - chocolate
acc - edgers #1 die, flower die, circle nesties, button, twine

135!

Good afternoon!

I hope you're ready for another sketch! Everyone has been doing such an amazing job with the sketches! I love it!

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on it! I was looking for an excuse to use my new edger and doily dies and this card just kind of grew out of that!

I stamped both the butterfly and the doily with the textstyle background. I sponged the edges of the doily to give it a softer look. The card front is actually shorter than the card back- the dark chocolate strip is on the card interior.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Textstyle II, Big and Bold Wishes
• Ink: Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream
• Paper: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy Bitty Boxes paper
• Accessories, etc.: Edgers #2 die, Doily Details die, Love Lives Here die, Ribbon

As always, if you play along leave your link below:

FTL134 Happy Birthday

Just a quick post from me today...  I find it interesting that many of us thought "buttons" when we saw this sketch... of course I did since they are my newest obsession!

Items Used:
*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Pacific Point
*Images:  Impress
*Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
*Tools:  Big Shot; Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder; Corner Chomper
*Embellishments:  assorted buttons


Not quite the card I started making as I couldn't find flowers in my stash that were the right size to go with the buttons and fit on the card front.... but I do like how it turned out.

FTL134 Cute as a Button

I made this a One Layer Card.  I drew the frame around the buttons and sentiment to create a faux layer.  I used PaperTrey's button die and chip board to create the buttons.  I stamped them with Memento Bermuda Bay ink and PaperTrey's Bitty Background Blocks gingham image.  The buttons are threaded with embroidery thread. The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Paper's Sew What set.
