Here’s my card!

Stamp sets used: Sally Says, Got Chocolate, Love Never Melts Colors: Copics, Triart markers         Inks: Cat’s Eye-Dark Brown; Memento-Black   Technique: TJ’s Wisped Frames-Vol. 8 Issue 3-Feb. 2010;  Paper-white cs; DCWV block (I think)

fcd019-samp

I wanted to add a ribbon behind Sally, but didn’t want to go thru the effort of cutting her out, so I masked her instead, and used a straight edge and marker to create my own faux ribbon. Stamped the small chocolates randomly and then colored in. I think it came out really kool, what do you all think?? lol

Hope you’ll try this sketch!!!

Feel free to share with us thru Mr. Linky below!!

AND< I got a bit over excited with this sketch, so you will see 4 samples today, and another one on Blog hop day!! lol

Here’s the sketch!

Card base measured 5.25 x 5.25 (tip: I just cut off a section of some card bases I had that were already 5.25 x7 and use the envelopes that come with the larger card. No extra postage since the envelope is a ‘normal’ size.)

A new sketch!

July 05, 2009 By: Pamela Category: Card Art, Sketches

Since I will be posting the new stamps later today, and unveiling the images from Friday, I thought I’d jump in and post some more art I’ve been creating with the new images, and share another sketch!    Enjoy!

First the sketch: (remember you can click the images  for a larger view) I would LOVE to see what you do with this sketch! Please post a link in the comments when you’ve uploaded your creation!! This is a  4.25×5.5 inch card.

The stamp here is called ‘Boy with Flowers’ (catchy huh? lol) The words come from the Birthday Wishes red rubber set.

He is stamped on a scrap of photo paper, that I used the Copic Smoosh tutorial on.

Added Spring Flower Soft to the flowers.  The tiny bling is from a set of Flip Flop jewels I picked up at Target in the dollar bin…LOTS of jewels, for a buck!!

clear-stamp-boy-with-flower

Here’s another card (not the same sketch tho…lol)

Clear stamp is the pussywillow branch. Red rubber images used: HB from Birthday Wishes, tiny butterfly from Solid
This card was fun to make, as I challenged myself to use some things I received in a RAK last month. (the spiral clip, the flowers, added to that buttons and a brad I had in my stash of  ’stuff’ ! LOL)  Background DP is from Club Scrap.
