RS #34


I came across a sketch challenge from Retro Sketches this morning and decided to play along.  I made a one-layer card with just a little trim on it.  It is probably the only one-layer card I've made that I was fairly satisfied with.  And Christmas Deer  finally got some ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

My neighbor needed  a couple of birthday cards so I turned to the sketch from Paper Craft Crew for inspiration.  Love the simplicity of this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

SUO #55



The SUO challenge this week is all about texture.  Well this card I made for my son-in-law sure has texture.  I used four different colors from my retired cardstock stash and run them all through my  Big Shot with the Autumn Accents die.  I chose one leaf from each color and sponged the edges.  Then I spritzed them good with my wonderful little stampin spritzer and plain old water.  Then I wadded them all up really good and then opened them back up and let them dry overnight.  I sponged them again with  a little bit more color.  The leaves are piled onto a piece of vanilla cs that was run through the woodgrain embossing folder.  They actually looked like real leaves.

My son-in-law loves Fall, so I always make a fall-themed card.  I think he really liked this one.

Thanks for stopping by!

PCCCS009


This card was created for the sketch from Paper Craft Crew.  It was also created for my mom's gift for my daughter's baby shower, so I had to wait to post it until after her shower.  I have had the set, Every Little Bit, for some time but this is the first time I have used it.  Worked perfectly for this sketch.

Thanks for looking!
