FTL 4 Happy Summer!

This is a great layout, and I will definitely be using it again! I used the measurements Natasha posted. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals because of the bulk of the eyelet. The sailboat is colored with both copics and aquapainter/ink refill. The coloring is straight up no shading except for the water, in keeping with the blog theme. Supplies: stamps - MorningStar paper - (all SU) whisper white, wild wasabi, real red, soft sky, blue bayou textured ink - Palette Burnt Umber, SU Not Quite Navy, SU white craft acc - aquapainter, copics, jumbo eyelet (SU)

Fall-to Layout 4

This layout is a bit different then some, but I saw a card with it somewhere, and found it to be inspiring. I thought I'd give it a shot, and share it with you. Plus, it goes well with the idea of using white or blank space. The optional part is exactly that. If you find the card looks too empty, feel free to add something in there, if you want a simpler card, leave it empty. The circle next to the sentiment can be any sort of embellishment, button, brad, knot, anything! A few measurements that you might find helpful... The lowest layer (on my card the patterned paper) is 3-3/4x2-1/2. The light pink is 2-1/2x 3-1/4. My sentiment strip is 3 inches long. Finally, the optional image part is 2-3/8x1-3/4.

Some other details for my card- all stamps are by PaperTrey Ink (Eat Cake, Birthday Basics), the paper and ink are mostly from there too (Berry Sorbet and Sweet Blush, as well as the patterned paper). Confetti white paper is from Stampin' Up!, as is the Rose Red button. I also went over all the Berry Sorbet cake layers with a clear Spica marker.
