Freshly Made Sketches #56

Hello my friends,

Today, I have a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #56:

My card:

The base card is SU Whisper White. I grabbed my Little Yellow Bicycle Swoon Paper Pad for the layers.  This paper pad is perfect for wedding or sympathy cards.  I combined the gray with Rich Razzleberry for the pretty flowers I inked and cut, using Vintage Vogue Stamp Set.  I added a small pearl in the middle of each flower.  The sentiment is from Thoughts & Prayers, which was also stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink.  I added 3 mini pearls under the sentiment (I just felt something was missing).  Lastly, I added a ribbon with a pretty brad.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #53

Hello my friends,

We are at the end of summer here in the U.S., so I wanted to make one last card using bright, happy colors for this week's Freshly made Sketches #53

My card:

The base of the card is SU Pacific Point cardstock.  I'm not sure if you can see it, but I added another piece of the same color and embossed it with the square lattice folder.  I took a piece of scratch paper and cut the 7 strips and played with them until I got the right measurement.  I used the Beyond the Garden DSP (retired) from SU for the floral strips and the solid yellows are from my stash.  Once that was done, the card came together fairly quickly.  I took out one of my favorite SU floral stamp sets, Fabulous Florets.  I stamped the 3 flowers using SU Tangerine Tango and added some leaves from SU Vintage Vogue stamp set.  I used the  Classic Circle Spellbinders to cut the image, and added a pearl to each flower using the Pearl Pen (love this pen!).  And there you have it!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

IBS #18 ~ Sketch Challenge

Hello my friends,

Yesterday, I created this card for this week's Inspired by Stamping Challenge #18

This is my card:

I once again used pretty paper from SU Sweet Pea Paper Pack ... I really love this pack.  The sentiment is from SU! Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  I carefully cut out the yellow flowers and added a brad in the middle - I used SU Vintage Vogue.  Ribbon and pearls are from my stash. 

This card is for a dear friend of mine, who is scheduled to have surgery very soon.  I hope she likes it.

Thanks so much for looking!
