FTL192 Congrats

This is a really quick and easy sketch and opened to a lot of possibilities!  I created this card for the SCS F4A118 challenge as well which is to use hot pink.  I cut the patterned paper with a PaperTrey flower die and stamped it with the flower image from the Friends Til The End set.  The center of the flower is embellished with Amuse Micro Twinklers.  Sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

192!

Good morning!
Here's this week's sketch. 


I made my card a few week's back (as you may have guessed by the mother's day theme). I've had to do a bit more planning ahead than usual. I'm moving next week, so it's been quite the task sorting through all of my craft supplies. It's amazing what one accumulates! I'm definitely going to try my hardest not to hoard stuff in the new space, but we'll see how well I stick to that a few months down the road...

Anyway, in my cleaning spree, I found this Scenic Route paper (I think the line was Metropolis). I absolutely loved it for the colours, so I decided to build a fun flower for my mom.


Supplies:
Paper: Metropolis (discontinued- Scenic Route), Kraft
Ink: Black Onyx
Stamps: Women of Life (PTI)
Accessories, etc.: Notched flower die, button, twine

My take on FTL191.  I like the look of the negative die space filled in with the die cut in another color, which is what I did here.
Supplies: Stamps - Amuse (sentiment); Paper - Mark's Finest Papers, PaperTrey; Ink - Memento; Misc - Memory Box Poppy Die, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, MS 3D Daisy Sticker

191!

Good morning!

Here's this week's sketch.

I don't normally do this, but I had all my card elements ready and set to follow the sketch to a tee, but then it just looked better flipped, so that's what I did. Even I break my own rules sometimes!

I was playing around the hexagons in Rosie Posie and enjoyed this particular colour combination (New Leaf, Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, and Black). I thought I'd also double the use of this card, and enter it into the Gallery Idol contest. The theme is encouragement, and I know quite a few people that this week especially could use some encouraging.


Supplies:
Stamps: Simply You, Rosie Posie
Ink: Black Onyx, New Leaf, Harvest Gold, Orange Zest
Paper: White, Basic Black, Orange Zest, New Leaf
Accessories, etc.: Circle Punches, Double Ended Banner Die
