233!

Happy Friday!!!

So... bad news... it's still been all wintery this past week. Sigh. We got hit with another large batch of snow on Monday, about half a foot. Doesn't sound like much... but add that to the 140cm we've already had this winter and it's getting quite tiresome! I want spring, and flowers, and lots of sunshine... I think you might catch that vibe in this week's card :)

Just an update on the pdf files. They are coming... eventually. The software I use to compile the sketches is on my PC, which I don't have set up. I'll get to these as soon as I can, hold tight!!

Here's the sketch:

Some measurements:
The card itself is approximately 4.25x4.25. The actual card stock is more like 4.25x8.75. There's about a half inch extra in order to make the top tab.
Next layer is 4x4
The image layer is 2.5x2.5, with a 2-5/8 x2-5/8 frame.


Here's my card. I was quite happy with how it turned out!

Supplies:
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes, It's a Jungle Out There (seriously, the happy birthday greeting is the best font and size!!!)
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Summer Sunrise
Paper: Kraft, White, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party
Accessories, etc.: Edgers #5, Cover Plate: Circles, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon Pop Dots, Corner Rounder

Hi, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. :) I just wanted to pop in and share the card I created using the most recent FTL231 sketch.  I tried so hard to keep this card CAS, but something tells me I failed. LOL! What can I say? I love bling! :) 

Supplies:

Stamps - Fabulous (There She Goes)

Ink - Versamark, Slate (Fresh Ink), Red Currant (Fresh Ink), Fuschia (Fresh Ink)

Paper - Soft Stone and Stamper's Select White (PTI)

Miscellaneous - Clear Gems (Hero Arts), White Embossing Powder (Hero Arts)

Happy Friday!

Here is this week's sketch. I made the sketch rather specific, but you can definitely look beyond the images that I used. The main idea is to have a mostly one layer creation. It should be square and it should have some sort of fun element that extends off of the card front.

Here's my project:

Supplies:

Stamps: Up, Up and Away, Stylish Sentiments: Birthday

Paper: Spring Rain, White

Ink: Tuxedo Black

Accessories, etc: Felt, Cloud Die, Balloon Die, Copic
