FTL6- Take Two

Hello! Here's the 6th sketch! I like this one because you can use basic paper, patterned paper, or stamp your own patterned paper.

Here's my take on the sketch!

I was in the mood for something cheerful. I decided to go through my stash and saw that I had so many different yellow papers, so I thought it'd be nice to use them all together.

I stamped the two sized leafy sprigs in Versamark on each square and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I attached the yellow squares onto some brown card stock and then placed that onto a cream card base.

Supplies:
Stamps: Spring Blooms, Fresh Baked
Ink: Versamark, Dark Chocolate
Paper: More Mustard, Summer Sun, Crushed Curry, Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate
Accessories, etc.: Corner Rounder

FTL5- Take Two!

Happy Friday!

Back with another look back at sketch #5.

I still think this is one of my favorites! There's something I find so visually satisfying about using images that push outside a box image.

Anyway, here's my take on it! Pulled out WPlus9's Whole Lotta Happy and made a fun balloon bouquet atop a happy background!

I truly love this stamp set from Wplus9! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Whole Lotta Happy

Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist, Summer Sunrise, Rich Razzleberry, Limeade Ice, Black

Paper: White, Aqua Mist, Black

Other: Pop dots, black sharpie

On a few other notes- I am so looking forward to returning to taking pics outside on my balcony! The days are finally long enough to start doing that, and the weather is being mostly agreeable. We had some snow the last few days, but I think we're almost out of that winter stretch!!

Also, I know this and this have been out for a while, but I just love them! Unfortunately they aren't in my stash yet- on a bit of a spending freeze. But how fun would this sketch be with the sun peaking over the stitched frame and a few clouds!

As always, if you play along, please leave a link in the comments!

FTL4: Take Two!

Happy Friday! Here's the next sketch- #4!

I remember kind of struggling with this one way back when I first did, and I still kind of struggled with it again! I altered it a little bit, but the general design concept comes through.

Supplies:

Stamps: Summer Sweetness

Ink: Dark Chocolate, Royal Velvet, Lavender Moon

Paper: White, Plum Pudding Spot Paper, Lavender Moon

Accessories, etc.: Corner Rounder

To get the blended look on the popsicle, I inked it up first with the lighter ink, then I did the rock and roll technique, making sure to hit only the top part, then to ensure the inks blend, I inked up the lighter ink over top. I've done this so many times, and I've never notices an ink transfer to the ink pad (although I always do this in the same colour family)

Happy Friday!

Ready to revisit the third sketch?

Although this sketch is super simple, I found myself stumped. I kept wanting to use stars, but told myself to use something other than the shape from the sketch. As I sat there contemplating, a colour scheme came to me, and from there, I found the right stamps!

Supplies:

Stamps: Blooming Button Bits, Women of Life, Beautiful Blooms

Ink: Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Limeade Ice, Dark Chocolate

Paper: Lemon Tart, Simply Chartreuse, White

Accessories, etc.: Brown grosgrain, corner rounder
