I flipped it!


 

Oh, please do let your mind wonder and get too crazy about the post title. All I did - this time - was to flip the sketch!

And why did I do that? Well, because I like the sketch, I made two cards, but this one, using current products, I decided to try the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch challenge 160 side ways; and I like it.  The Lullaby DSP and the Back to Black DSP were a good choice for the banner and rectangle. I chose the Label Bracket punch for the sentiment from Lots of Thanks stamp set. And here is a small tip: the Blackberry Bliss layer behind the sentiment is simply another punch out of the same Label Bracket punch but cut in half and layered behind the Whisper White. I enjoy the looks that something as simple as that gives to the image. Try it.

Warmth Sympathy.


DSC#105 

At this time of the year, it is hard for me not to stare in space thinking that I can almost smell the salty ocean and feel the warm breeze that emanates from it. Just to be shaken into reality that the temperature is not conducive to that.

Nonetheless, the colors at the Dostamper Stars Challenge 105  gave me some chance to feel and smell all that. I combined those beautiful colors with the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 242. Bermuda Bay, says it all, but combine with the Tangerine Tango makes it all perfect. Why did I use a Sympathy sentiment? Well, I believe that a person in grief can benefit from some warmth. The Papillon Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating punches gave the correct amount of touch, keeping the card simple. The sentiment I took from Love & Sympathy stamp set and that beautiful background is from the I Love Lace background stamp and it was the perfect touch.

And there are more inspiration for this sketch. Check them out:

What? No stamp???



My need for colors are growing each and every day now as I look outside and see that the trees are now completely "naked" and showing their "skeleton".  I am happy to have so many color options from Stampin' Up!

I know, I know. The Fusion Something Wicked or Not challenge was not followed completely, as I want to have more light colors, but I liked the sketch and want to use it. And notice that no stamp was used on this card? Sometimes the paper will speak for itself and the Flower Pot DSP does a fantastic job at that.

Cheer him up!


 10-23

This past week was all too busy, and I had spend less time than I wished for in my craft corner. However, I finally caught a break and am now indulging in my passion.

Because my husband was very helpful yesterday, I was able to get a good three hours of crafting and figure I must make at least one Masculine Card. This one I like as a birthday and the sketch is from Pals Paper Arts Challenge 225. I chose the Flower Pot DSP that despite the name has some nice neutral pattern paper and the greetings is from the Good Greetings stamp set that was part of the promotion for September and October that hostess received, with qualifying order, for free. There is still time, as the promotion ends October 30th. The sentiment was punched out with the Word Window punch and highlighted with a piece of Mossy Meadow punched from Modern Label punch.
Thank you for visiting and please came back soon.
