Sketch Frenzy Friday 042911

Happy Friday all! Looks to finally be a NICE Spring day around here! We are past due for Spring this year!! Friday means another Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch and mini tour.

Here is the card I created

based on this sketch by Ros Davidson.

My card base is Rose Red with a background layer of So Saffron. Colors by the ColorCoach. I stamped the floral image from Elements of Style on a piece of Naturals Ivory. I colored and blended using my Blender Pen with my Watercolor Wonder Crayons in Rose Red, So Saffron & Wild Wasabi. After coloring, I cut the image into 4 panels and  mounted on the background layer. At the bottom, I knotted a piece of Victoria Crochet trim and attached an Antique Brad over the knot. I couldn't work in a saying, so I didn't add one. Nothing I tried looked right. That's OK-the whole inside of the card is blank :)

Razzleberry Elements of Style

My Club Group met on Sunday, and for once I got to just sit and be one of the stampers. One of my downline, Gwen, did the demonstrating! Yeah Gwen!! Here is the first awesome card we made!

Card base is Rich Razzleberry. Background is Whisper White that we stamped the floral image from Elements of Style on in Rich Razzleberry. Then we textured it with the Square Lattice folder in the Big Shot! I've done so many leaves this way, but haven't looked beyond them to see what other stamps will work. This one is perfect! Across the bottom we tied a White Taffeta Ribbon. The saying is stamped with Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White, punched with the Decorative Label punch and layered on a 2nd Decorative label in Rich Razzleberry that was split in half. When you do split the Decorative Label, trim the points of the side or they'll peak out in places you don't want them!!

Isn't that neat? Very elegant and very quick to make!
