WSC46 - Happy Everything

This is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. I did this tonight when I got home from work. Lots of layering, but that tends to be my style. I played a but with the flower piece, pretty happy with the results! I'l have another oblong card to share tomorrow for the SCS Wednesday Sketch. 

The recipe for this card can be found in my SCS Gallery by clicking HERE

Have a super night! 

WSC45 - Love Always

Here is my creation for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I pulled out one of SU's retired scrapping kits for it. The colors are Blush Blossom & Mellow Moss. I used Moss gingham ribbon and silver brads for accents, the flower stamp is from True Friend which I just got as my SAB Incentive Set. I have had my eyes on this set for so long, but never really pictured a soft card with it until I did this card tonight. Thanks for looking!

WSC44 - simple flower

here is my card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge (#44) I wanted to keep the image simple, because of all the "business going on with the background paper. I also used a oval for the image instead of the rectangle. I like this design but the card came together a little tough for me because I am terrible at measurements. The Flower is from Gina K's How Sweet It Is (can you tell i lOVE this set???), I colored in the flower with my Prismacolors & used Gina K Odorless Mineral Spirits to Color the image in. I'm still a novice with the water-coloring, but I think with practice I will get better.  Thanks for looking!

Beate's WSC42 - Sort of....

Okay, I tried, really! I thought I had Beate's sketch all down pat (with the exception of the extra circle - I needed a sentiment somewhere!). Then I realized I had the rectangle panels laid down the wrong way after finishing the card. Been one of those days! :) I'm still happy with the card. This was my 3rd try...

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #35

This is my card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge (#35). I love this sketch. This is actually the 2nd card I created for this sketch (I'll share the first one I did later) Aren't the colors just yummy? This is more of a fall card, but I love this SU DSP. It's so bright & cheery. I used the Friendly Flowers Set which is in the new SU Occasions Mini. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sets. This is also the first card I have used the Flower Fusion flowers on. I hope they come out with more colors soon!
