Sweet Sunday......Thank You

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

My card is 3-1/2" by 7". I made it slightly bigger to accommodate my focal image.

I started with a base of Pistachio Pudding card stock, then a layer of Basic Black. All of the DSP on here is from the Sweet Sorbet paper pack.

I matted all of the DSP with Basic Black.

The flower is from the Simple Stems stamp set and is stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding inks onto Whisper White card stock

I cut the mat for the main image with one of the dies from the Floral Frames Framelit Dies and Pistachi Pudding card stock. I stamped the sentiment, which comes from the Happy Watercolor stamp set, with black stazon across the flower stems. I added three square brads that I tilted across the bottom edge.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:

Sweet Sunday.....Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us today:

I pulled out my pack of Retro Fresh DSP to use on this card, I LOVE the colors in this pack.

The base of my card is Soft Suede card stock followed by a layer of Very Vanilla and then a layer of the DSP.

Next came the circle element of DSP and I matted that with more Soft Suede card stock. Then the next layer of DSP also matted with Soft Suede card stock.

The sentiment flag piece is Very Vanilla and the sentiment comes from the Four You stamp set, I used my stamp a ma jig to make it into two lines.

The pretty little posies come from the Stampin Up Simple Stems stamp set. I stamped them with Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight. I cut them out with my paper snips and added them to the sentiment piece with some dimesionals. I used the Owl Punch for my leaves in Soft Suede. I then added some pearl flourishes to finish it off.

Now lets see what the rest of the team did with this fun sketch
