Hello-----Sketch Saturday #551

February 16, 2019

Good Morning Everyone and Happy Saturday!

Here is Sketch #551

My card is created on a Real Red card base. I used a Scalloped Border Die from Pretty Pink Posh to separate the white and black/ white polka dots to create the border in the sketch. All of the flowers and stems are created using Real Red, Yellow and Old Olive card stock and the My Favorite Things Stitched Blooms dies.

The sentiment on the front and inside are from the stamp set Cas-ual Friday Stamps-Special Delivery.

I am trying to finish the inside of my cards and make a matching envelope. That way they are almost ready for the mail.

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Don't forget to visit all the DT blogs for lots of inspiration! We sure hope you will play along with us!

HUGS!

My card is created on a purple card base. I used a piece of water color paper and smooshed the background using distress inks. I found a scrap of floral paper in my stash for the rectangle. The hearts were cut using the Cherry Lynn Two of Hearts die set. I cut the larger heart in purple and the top heart in white. I added two small candy hearts in pink and purple using the Sweetheart Candy die set.

White Baker's twine was added around the card and a small bow. A few clear, sparkling sequins were added to complete my card. I also added a sentiment inside and two more of the sweetheart candy hearts. I added the floral print on the envelope panel that matched the front of the card.

You're Tu-Tu Sweet PP428

February 10, 2019

I attended the Valentine dances with my GRAND daughters yesterday. We had a blast. Thought I would share this happy moment with all of you!

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

The lovely Laurie is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous color challenge for all of us! We can't wait to see what you create!

My card is created on a Smokey Slate card base. The curtains were made using Basic Gray and the MFT die set Take The Stage. I added black ink with a sponge dauber to add dimension to the curtains. The little ballerina is stamped in Momento black ink. I used the MFT Tu-Tu Sweet stamp set. The matching die was used to cut her out. I colored her with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine. Clear, sparkling sequins were added to complete my card.

I ran a piece of the gray paper down the side of the card and stamped the image again. The sentiment is from the same set. The envelope panel is a scrap from my pile, but tied in the pink.
