Sketch Frenzy Friday 111513

Happy Friday all! Can't believe it's already mid-November! Not ready for the Holiday season!! Hope you all had a great week!

Friday means another challenge at Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Here is my creation


based on this sketch by Patrice Herrera.


My creation is pretty simple, but sometimes that is what works best! I chose the In Color Strawberry Slush and the stamp set Gifts of Kindness. I stamped the flowers in Strawberry Slush and cut with an Oval Framelit. I cut a second oval of Strawberry Slush in the next larger size. I textured the background with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to match the dots on the flowers. The saying at the top was punched with the Word Window punch and layered onto the Modern Label. A few Rhinestones for bling and we're done!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 110813

Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a great week! Busy here, but good!!

Friday as you know means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Here is my creation


based on this sketch by Kim Innis.

I decided to dig through the Christmas/Holiday stamps and Designer Paper and use something from there. Need to play with these lots to see if I can figure out a very easy Christmas card, otherwise this may be the first year ever we don't send one!! Anyway, I landed on the Festive Flurry set and Winter Frost stack. I looked at the DSP, but decided the Stack gave me enough options! Card base is Smoky Slate, Whisper White accent layer behind Coastal Cabana background. On that, I stamped the smallest snowflake from the Festive Flurry set using the Illuminate pad. An accent of Bermuda Bay sits behind the Island Indigo that backs the snowflake. I inked the snowflake with Coastal Cabana, then thumped it with Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo. Neither is very prominent!! Either I had a very light hand, or the colors are more similar than they look! DSP accents are below the snowflake, a Whisper White ribbon accents the top, and Rhinestones make the flake sparkle!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 110113

Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a good week!! Not bad here :)

As you know, Friday means another Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge. Sketch by me and I actually found time to make a card!!

Here is my card


based on this sketch


I started with the Sweater Weather DSP, then decided on the Magnificent Maple stamp and Burlap Ribbon. All from the same page (18) in the Holiday catalog! The card base is Chocolate Chip with an accent layer of Tangerine Tango. The background paper has those colors plus Crushed Curry. I attached the Burlap Ribbon around the top two layers before attaching to the base. I did add Mini Glue Dots for adhesive to make sure it stayed. It's a little thicker than the usual ribbon. For the leaf, I first inked it with Crushed Curry, then thumped it with the Chocolate Chip and Tangerine Tango markers. Make sure you turn the stamp when doing that so you get a variety of marks not all going one direction. The saying is from Lots of Thanks and was stamped over the stem in Tangerine Tango. Quick and easy!!
