FTL 139 Wonderful Friend

This layout is truly quick and easy to do, once you have your papers and colours chosen.  Sadly, sometimes colours are the most difficult part of the process for me!  Made easier when I use patterned paper, but I've been using a lot less patterned paper in the last year or so.

Anyway... on to my card....
*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Basic Black, Regal Rose
*Patterned Paper:  Bo Bunny
*Images:  Stampin' Up! All Holidays
*Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
*Embellishments:  Stampin' Up! Apple Green grosgrain ribbon


I look forward to seeing what you create using the sketch from this week!

139!

Hi everyone!
I hope you're ready for another sketch! Here it is. It's time to do a bit of sentiment mix and matching!
Here's my card:
Originally I had planned to die cut out the letters for the big happy. Unfortunately, I had done a bit of reorganizing a while back, and have no idea where I placed my alphabet die sets. Oh well, it's been that kind of week! I decided to make use of the Fresh Alphabet stamp set instead, it really was the perfect size! I was also going to make a background out of the larger lined image from Modern Basics. However, I wasn't having a good time lining them up. You win some, you lose some. But that got me thinking, wouldn't it be nice to see a Modern Basics impression plate??
Supplies:
  • Stamps: Modern Basics, Birthday Bash Sentiments, Fresh Alphabet (Papertrey Ink)
  • Ink: Grape Jelly
  • Paper: Simply Chartreuse, Royal Velvet, White
  • Accessories, etc.: Ribbon, button, twine, corner rounder, Diamonds impression plate
As always, if you play along, feel free to leave a link to your project!
