Sketch Frenzy Friday 012712

Happy Friday all! Hope you have a great weekend on tap!! For us, there is nothing major on the agenda and I hope to spend plenty of time in the stamp room just for fun!!

As you know, Friday means another Sketch Frenzy Friday and mini tour. Here is my creation of the week

based on this sketch by Angela Walters.

And, I must say, when I first pulled this up today I wasn't excited about it!! LOL!! But, I love what I came up with and now think it's a GREAT sketch!!

I had the stamp and hearts of a different color still on my stamp table from the weekend. I decided hearts from the new embosslit would work for the circles. Card base is Soft Suede with an Early Espresso accent layer behind the Riding Hood Red background. I started by stamping the saying bottom right in Early Espresso. Then, I ran the Riding Hood Red through the Big Shot with the new Hearts folder from the Adorning Accents set. Then, I cut several sets of hearts with the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit. One from Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Riding Hood Red & two from Naturals Ivory. I added hearts and shifted them around until I liked the look. Done-clean and simple!!

Be My Valentine!

Card two from Club last weekend. When I was stumped for ideas, I was looking through different cards on the Internet. I came across this one (the first one in her post) by my friend Deb Currier and inspiration struck!! Thanks Deb!! I don't generally like to straight up copy, I prefer to tweak them somehow to make it more mine. Here is what I came up with.

Same basic layout. My card base is Basic Gray with Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry accent layers behind the Whisper White background. Across the center of the white I embossed the hearts from the Adorning Accents Folders set. At the bottom we stamped "Be My Valentine" from the Delightful Dozen set in Basic Gray. I cut two sets of hearts with the new Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, one in Melon Mambo and one in Rich Razzleberry. We used one of each heart in a mix of the two colors. One heart fits perfectly over the heart on the stamp, the others were attached with glue dots above.
