Ten Minute Monday

So I made this card almost a week ago, had it uploaded to the computer, all I needed to do was edit and upload a post. I meant to get it ready last night, totally forgot! So here it is, a bit later than usual, but it's still Monday! Supplies: Stamps: Wild Things (by gel-a-tins), Birthday Basics (by Papertrey Ink) Ink: Melon Berry, Dark Chocolate Paper: Textured Groovy Guava, Dark Chocolate, White, Urban Oasis DSP Accessories, etc.: Scalloped scissors, chocolate ribbon

Fall to Layout 35

I like this sketch and the dimensions of the card. I used only black and white for the SCS LSC213 challenge and used striped and polka dots for Sharon Johnson's ssnotime80 stamp simply challenge. The card measures 3.5x6 and I used my long rectangle Nestabilities to cut and mat the main image. Supplies: Stamp - Rubbernecker Jeanne Streiff Collection, PaperTrey Friends Til the End; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Paper - PaperTrey Stampers Select, Patterned Paper unknown; Misc - Ribbon, Nestabilities, dimensionals

Fall-to Layout #35

Fall-to Layout: A sketch or layout that you can use as a resource; something you may rely on, fall-to, or fall-back on when you need a bit of inspiration. Here's this week's sketch. I decided to change things up a bit. It was time for something besides square or A5. This card is 3.5x6. The patterned paper panel is 3x3.5. I used nestabilities for the rectangles, but if you'd like to know, the plain rectangle is 2-3/8x5 inches. I wanted a design for using all those large silhouette images that are still quite popular. Supplies: Stamps: Big and Wild Things (by gel-a-tins), Birthday Basics (by Papertrey Ink) Ink: Rhubarb, Bamboo Leaves, New Sprout, True Black Paper: Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Ski Slope DSP Accessories, etc.: Ribbon, Nestabilities, Pop Dots

As always, if you decide to play along, feel free to leave a link or upload to SCS with the keyword FTL35!

FTL#34

I love this sketch and will be using it a lot. I had to make a red, white and black card for a swap so i used this wonderful layout. I stamped the image on the white panel and colored it with carkers. The I stamped it again on another piece of white paper, colored it and cut out a portion of it and adhered it to the originally stamped image with dimesionals. Supplies: Stamps - Inkadinkado; Paper - PaperTrey; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Misc - Ribbon, SU! HPH, Fiskars Border Punch, pearls.
