FTL194 From the Heart

I really love this sketch!  The patterned paper is from MME Lost and Found Collection.  I used my Heart Nestabilities and an EKSuccess border punch.  The sentiment is from Woodware USA's Loads of Love set.

194!

Happy Friday!

Here's this week's sketch! For proportions, the main thing is to keep your whole panel layer proportionate to the card base. So 3.75x5 or 3.25x4.5, that sort of thing.

I went with a cheer up sort of card!

Supplies:
Stamps: Super Stars
Paper: White, Smokey Shadow, Lemon Tart
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Summer Sunrise
Accessories, etc.: Gray Taffeta Ribbon, Big Scallop Edge die, Small circle hole punch

FTL193 Berry Sweet

Good morning. It seems to be a little dreary and rainy all over the place today and hopefully this fun and cute card will bring some cheer. This is a very unusual color combination for me. Natasha's card is just lovely. I used Berry Patch and Berry Patch sentiments with a Sweet Blush card base, a Basic Black mat, and Spring Moss. I stamped the Spring Moss card stock with the large image from Berry Patch using Versamark. I die-cut 3 different sizes of strawberries and their tops using Pure Poppy and Simply Chartreuse card stock and then stamped the coordinating image and ink color onto the die-cuts. I colored in the "dots" of the strawberry with a little silver glimmer marker but now wished I had used black as it makes better sense so I just might redo the card as it was simple enough to put together. I added some small black gems to the center leaves of the strawberries and adhered them to the card with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped with True Black ink.

Thank you for stopping by to visit us today and I hope you like this card!

193!

Happy Friday!

Here's this week's sketch. I used flowers, since they are an easy form of clip art to add to a digital sketch. Don't let that hinder your creative choices though. Use whatever items you like, just try to have 3 similar objects that are 3 different sizes.

Here's my card. I have to say, I'm not in love with it. But it can be really hard to create something when you've packed up more than half your stuff, you've limited yourself to only using scraps, and you are pressed for time. So all things considered, it's okay.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Think Big #13, Polka Dot Basics 2, Beautiful Blooms 2, Background Basics: Retro
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Black Onyx
Paper: Bermuda Bay, Black, White
Accessories, etc: Beautiful Blooms #1 die, Buttons, Twine
