Sketch Frenzy Friday 052413

Happy Friday all, thanks for stopping by!! Thanks for hanging with me over the last few months with my scattered posting!! Hoping soon to get back on a more regular schedule!!

As you know, Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Great sketch this week by Tammy Fite! Here is my card

based on this sketch by Tammy:

I walked into my room tonight (Thursday, after 8:30 pm!!) with no clue where I was going with this! Love that SU! makes such great stuff that I can easily pull something together that works so well!! 

The Chevron pattern in the sketch caught my eye, so I started looking at DSP. I landed on the Parker's Patterns pack from the Spring Mini and found a Chevron print in Daffodil Delight. My brain immediately went to a sunflower type flower for the element (imagine that!!). I briefly considered building a flower with the Fun Flowers die, but then settled on the Perfect Pennant Die for the element, with a Secret Garden die cut flower. Colors, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White. Simple and Sweet :)

Happy Friday all!! My apologies for my recent absence, but couldn't be helped! Hopefully I'm back for good, but I may still be spotty with posting over the next few weeks. My oldest son is graduating High School on the 11th, so lots to get done before then!!

As you know, Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday!! I hope you've been keeping up with the sketches!! If not, stop by the SFF blog and check them out!!

Here is my creation of the week

based on this sketch by Tammy Fite

After taking a look at the sketch, I started thinking of Designer Series Paper that would work and I immediately thought of this little pad from the Spring Mini, Print Poetry DSP Stack! I'm really drawn to these colors and the prints that coordinate!! Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse and Gumball Green!!

The card base is Summer Starfruit with an accent layer of Midnight Muse behind the DSP background. I used four different prints from the stack. Across the center is a Summer Starfruit ribbon. The flowers were stamped in Starfruit, the leaves in Gumball, and all were cut with the coordinating framelit set. The set used is Secret Garden from the Spring Mini. The framelit set has the same name :)

The leaves are attached to the background with just Snail adhesive. The flowers were attached over with dimensionals. The final accent, that really makes it all pop, are the Midnight Muse Dahlias that I added in the center of the flowers. The saying is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Happy Friday all! Not such a nice start to Spring here-lots of cold/snow in the forecast for the next few days! Oh well, we need the moisture, but my preference would be rain!!

OK, on to the reason you're here! Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Here is my creation of the week

based on this sketch by Maria Vanderform.

My card base is Gumball Green with an accent layer of Midnight Muse behind the background print. The Designer Series Paper is from the Print Poetry Stack in the Spring Mini. On the right side is another print from the pack in a stripe format. It is layered on Summer Starfruit. Around that I knotted some Gumball Green ribbon and attached the "Happiness" saying from the Loving Thoughts set. My center element is two flowers from the Secret Garden set layered over a Scallop Punch of Gumball green. Final accent, a Large Rhinestone in the center of the flower.

Happy Friday all! Supposed to be a nice Spring Day here-yeah!! Still some mud to deal with after snow last weekend, but sunshine is AWESOME!!!

Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Here is my creation of the week

based on this sketch, also by me!

If either look familiar, it's because I based the sketch on a card I did at Club last month. You can see it here. We've done other similar ones in the past too with the Blossom Punch. 

My card base is Melon Mambo. A DSP layer of Daffodil Delight Polka Dot parade sits behind the Whisper White background. On the right side, center, I cut the largest flower with the Secret Garden framelit through just the Whisper White. I then stamped the saying in the lower left corner before stamping flowers all around in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise. I stamped two more flowers on a separate piece of Whisper White and cut with their coordinating framelit. The Melon Mambo one was attached in the center of the cut out flower, the Turquoise one off to the side. In the center of each is a Rhinestone. The ribbon is Melon Mambo Scallop Dots.

That's it for me today! Back to getting ready for Open Houses this weekend! Make sure you stop over at the main SFF Blog to see what the rest of the team created, and to play along!!

Club Secret Garden

Card 3 from last weekend! I liked them all, but this one was really fun!! This is a great color combo too!!

Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight! The card base is Island Indigo with a background of Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade DSP. Over that is a Whisper White layer, cut 1/8" smaller so that the Daffodil shows around the edge. Through the Whisper White I cut a flower using the Secret Garden framelit. I used the largest one and cut it near the right center edge. We first stamped the "thank you" at the very bottom left in Indigo. Then we stamped around the cut flower and the rest of the background using the leaf in Lucky Limeade, the rounded bold flower in Island Indigo, and the smaller rounded outline flower in Daffodil Delight. On a separate Whisper White we stamped the same bold flower in Island Indigo and the other bold flower in Daffodil Delight and cut both out with their coordinating sizzlit. We attached the Indigo cutout flower inside the large cutout, over the DSP and the Daffodil one off to the left of that. Both were attached with dimensionals and we added a rhinestone to each for accent. A Lucky Limeade ribbon is the final accent, knotted just above the thank you and attached between the thank you and flower cutout.

Happy Friday all! Hopefully we're dug out and off to work and school! As I'm typing this Thursday afternoon the storm really hasn't amounted to much for us yet, but I believe it is supposed to snow most of the night!

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

based on this sketch by Sharon Wheet.

I picked this great pattern background from the Print Poetry DSP stack after deciding a flower would work for the circle element in the sketch. Colors are Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, Gumball Green and Very Vanilla. The flowers are from the Secret Garden set in the Mini, and were cut out with the coordinating framelit set. The center of the flowers is a Champagne Glimmer Brad. Flowers are attached with dimensionals.
