It's after 2:00 A.M. on Saturday morning and I've been working on this card all day Friday. I should be in bed, but I wanted to finish it and post it. This is sketch #676 by Freshly Made Sketches.
The dies I used to make the circles are called "Funky Circle" by Catherine Pooler. I added some Nuvo Drops as an accent. The paper that I used is from an old 6x6 paper pad called "Renew" by Authentique.
I think the card turned out pretty good. Now it's time for me to go to bed!
This little kitty was just so cute and innocent looking for Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge SSC355 Layered Up. This is a stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs called "All Cats". It features four different cats and I picked this one because it is holding a blank sign that can be stamped on with different sentiments that come with the stamp set. (Or any sentiment that will fit inside the sign for that matter). I colored the cat with colored pencils and added stripes. The background paper and panels are from Scrapbook.com. The little squiggles on the side are from a die set by Echo Park called "Swirl Underlines". Since the sentiment is being held by the cat's paws, I thought this would fit perfectly.
This Sketch #675 seemed like a simple sketch, but I had a hard time trying to figure out what color I wanted to use.
I ended up with teal because I cut these feathers out about a month ago and decided to go with them. I used a "with sympathy" sentiment because the feathers looked so comforting.
Today was such a beautiful day. The temperature was over 50 degrees. I know that spring is right around the corner! 😀
I'm displaying a card that I made for my sister. Her birthday is next month. I used the "Hanging Planter" die by Sizzix to make the hanging plants. The sentiment "This Is Your Day" came from an Altenew stamp set of the same name--This Is Your Day.
I think the card turned out pretty good. Very colorful--like spring.
On this very cold winter day, I decided to create a spring-like card for this sketch #674. I was going to use a more flowery stamp or die but I decided to use this die by Impression Obsession called "Fanciful Flower".
Anyway, I like this sketch design and probably will be using it often.
Hello everyone!
Yesterday it snowed here in Connecticut, so I spent the day working on a card for Freshly Made Sketches #672. I was going to do banners, but then I thought, Valentine's Day is only a few days away--why not do hearts.
So this card is made with a die set by Honey Bee Stamps called Lovely Layers Heart Vine. It's part of the Love Letters Collection.
It was a real challenge fitting the two pieces together but I finally got it.

I've been working on this card all day Friday off and on, the last day of January. Trying to find just the right paper, pick out the right dies and get the panels lined up just right. I think it turned out pretty good. This is Freshly Made Sketch #671.
I used three different border dies from the Heffy Doodle set called "On The Edge" to create the different panels.
The vase is from Simon Hurley's "Ceramic Vases" die set and the flowers are from Dress My Craft "Spring Flowers #2" die set.
