FTL49 - Thinking of You

Hi everyone! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that I was asked to be a contributor for the weekly sketches. :) I found my way to this awesome blog via Becky's blog 4 months ago, and have been hooked ever since. I *love* sketch challenges, but sometimes I find myself having to sit them out because I can't find a way to make them fit my style (LOL, whatever that is!)... I never feel that way with the sketches posted here every week. You can keep them CAS or you can dress them up a bit, and I love that!

Here is the sample I came up with using the Fall-to Layout #49 sketch. I stayed pretty true to the sketch that was provided, the only changes being that my strip of patterned paper is 1 1/4", and I didn't tie a bow with my ribbon.

Supplies:
Stamps - Ashley's Blossoms (My Cute Stamps), Vintage Picnic Basic Sentiments (PTI)
Ink - Stazon Black
Paper - Raspberry Fizz, Whisper White, Basic Black, Black & White Basics
Miscellaneous - Raspberry Fizz Twill Ribbon, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

FTL 49-Sketch

Here's the sketch this week. I didn't get a chance to post it last night, I ended up being a bit busier than I expected! Here's my take on the card. Some dimensions:
  • Patterned paper strip 1x4-1/4
  • White image panel 2-3/8x3-1/8
  • Card Size- basic 4-1/4x5-1/2

The card construction was very basic. I stamped the larger leaf on the main panel, stamped the smaller leaf on scrap white cardstock and cut it out and attached with a pop dot. Then I tied on the ribbon, attached the patterned paper and rub-on to the card base, then pieced the rest together.

Supplies: Stamps: Denami Designs Small Bamboo Leaf and Large Bamboo Leaf Ink: Kiwi Kiss Paper: Textured Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, White, Haiku DSP Accessories, etc.: Spring Moss Twill, pop dots, So Many Sentiments rub-ons

FTL#49 One of a Kind

This is a birthday card for my BFF. I received this image from one of my stamping friends - I think these girls are so cute. I colored them with SU! markers and cut and embossed the image with my rectangle Nestabilities. All papers are PaperTrey as well as the ribbon and sentiment. The main image is from Stampingbella. Supplies: Stamps - Stampingbella, PaperTrey; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - SU! markers, Ribbon, Dimensionals, Nestabilites.
