FTL178 Tea Anybody?

Happy Monday to you! This week we have another fabulous sketch by Natasha. I took my image panel a bit further because I overestimated the size of my teacups and then rounded the corners to soften it up a bit.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit us and play along in our challenge. Here is my card that I'd like to share with you. Remember, I can't photograph pink or purple, or anything along those hues to save my life! We hope to see you again on Friday when a new sketch challenge is put up. Have a great week!

FTL177 Let Your Dreams Take Flight

Happy Monday everybody. Here's to another great sketch by Natasha! Instead of doing the usual 2 colors and 1 neutral, I added another color pretty much out of necessity to offset my Aqua Mist and Autumn Rose. A bit more detailed cards can still be clean and simple. Have you tried to use clear embossing powder over your water-based dye ink? It works like a charm adding that extra bit of color so it's not dull. I hope that you enjoyed my card today and that it provides you with some inspiration. My card is 4-1/2" square. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a very blessed day.
