Just A Note

Hello. friends!
It's amazing how crafting takes twists and turns. My beginning idea of a simple card with an older stamp set evolved into a project using a variety of supplies and techniques. Here's my second card using Sketch Ranunculus from SSS.

 I absolutely loved stamping the cluster of flowers and greens for the focal point and assembling them on the beautiful oval cut with the Shape Shifter's Oval 2 Die from Papertrey Ink. 
Again, I embossed the large flowers in white and colored them with Zigs. 
Playing along with the challenge below, I added an embossed woodgrain panel that gives a warm rustic look, and a banner sentiment as in the photo.

I'm also playing along with Laurie's Favorite Challenge at the Ink to Paper blog.   Pink and Green with a hint of Violet  are my current summer favorites. 

Thanks for joining me today!

A Sketchy Birthday

Hello! It's a long weekend here in the states. And we're having HOT temperatures over the next week. That means chances to stay cool in the craft room in the afternoon.

 Just so I'm not always playing with the new stuff, I am working through some older stamps and using them to make one or two new cards. First up, the Sketch Ranunculus set from SSS. I forgot how fun these flowers are to color! 

I embossed them in white onto Ranger watercolor paper and colored them using Zigs. 
I loosely modeled this after the sketch below and blended Distress Oxide inks on the the main panel.

 I may want to try this sketch again with a more graphic design.
Hope you're having a beautiful day!
