FTL189 Thinking & Wishing

Hi everybody! I hope that you loved this sketch as much as I did. For a clean and simple card, I used a lot of product on this, like 4 stamp sets, 2 impression plates, 2 die-cuts, and 7 ink colors! They say the definition of clean and simple is a lot of white space. That is not true. You can still make a beautiful clean and simple card using other colors and a focal point. This card happens to have 2, but that's what the sketch called for, and I even left out a layer per the sketch. It was really hard for me to photograph the Fine Linen so I hope that you can see beyond that. The base of the card has dry embossing on it as well as the flowers. I think it just adds a certain elegant element to the card and I hope that you do too. I really love learning how to and creating my own designer paper with stamps.
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit us today. Many blessings to you and have a wonderful day!

#189

I'm sorry I haven't been around much....  I just haven't had the Mojo lately.  I feel pressure (from myself) to create when I'm at home, but the more pressure I feel, the less I create.  It's a terrible circle.

But I had some extra time handed to me today and I decided to play a little... and I managed to create two cards....  and I like them both!

Here is my take on the sketch for this week!

189!
