Thinking of You x2

Some great sketches out there this week.  First is Card Patterns Sketch #160  http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/04/sketch-160.html





Thinking of You in black and ivory.  The image and sentiment are from Gina K.  Stamped the flower in black on ivory cardstock and cut out with a Nesties Petite Oval, stamped Timeless Textures by Gina K in Distress Ink Antique Linen and sponged the edges lightly.  Cut a Nesties Label out of tan cs and sponged black ink on it before I removed it from the die.  Used Core'dinations cs for the long strip, embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and lightly sanded.  Still practicing with Liquid Pearls, so I did them on a black strip in case of any mistakes.  Added the flourish by Spellbinders.

Next is Sketch #131 at JUGS  http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/jugs-131-sketch-challenge.html


Quick and easy card.  Embossed some Ocean Mist cardstock and lightly sponged with Colorbox Chalk Olive ink.  Embossed the gray strip and lightly sponged with Versacolor ink in a light blue.  Layered these onto some Fresh Asparagus cardstock and onto a light gray base.  Stamped the sentiment in olive ink and sponged the edge lightly with blue ink and layered onto a Sizzix circle tag.  Tinted the seam binding with Glimmer Mist and tied onto the tag.  Layered a bunch of Prima Flowers that I hardly ever use and added a pearl to the center.

Thanks for stopping by!
