A Sketch

I am rushing in to beat the deadline, which means photographing the card under artificial light.  A card with rose gold accents.  It did not go well.  The Cas(e) this sketch deadline is early tomorrow morning, PST.  

A few months ago, I found this beautiful 6x6 paper pad at Hobby Lobby.  It's from My Mind's Eye and is called "Blush."   I love each and every piece!  Unfortunately, the metallic rose gold doesn't photograph well.  The card base is dark navy, as is the sentiment; they are only slightly darker than the background of the dotted paper used for the vertical trim. "Smile" is a die from Intricutz. 

Mojo Monday in Pink

I dug out a 12x12 paper pad from Tim Holtz for this Mojo Monday card.  Pink seemed like a good choice to go against the winter that surrounds me.  The "smile" die is the prettiest one I have. It's labeled "intricutz dies" by Couture Creations.  

Freshly Made with an Unusual Shape

For this week's Freshly Made Sketches, I studied this sketch carefully, tilting the image to decide just how to cut that unusual layer.  Once that was decided, I decided to use a graphic piece of paper there.  The first one didn't work, but much of that reason was the shape that I tried to use.  Attempt #2:  I decided to use a stamped image with a die and a different graphic piece.  The "smile" die needed a backing so the yellow would be obvious. 

The stamp and die are from Simon Says Stamp! "Smile" is and intricutz die by Couture Creations. 

Freshly Made with Buttons

The Bo Bunny Star-Crossed paper pad and matching buttons had just come in the mail, and I decided it would work for the latest Freshly Made Sketch.   In addition, I could use my favorite new die from Intricutz, the delicate "Smile."   (I would love to have a collection of these intricate words!) 

Freshly Made with a Butterfly

I'm edging in under the wire with my card for Freshly Made Sketch #187 today.  I have so many butterflies:  stamps and embellishments.  I wanted to use at least one of them for this sketch. It's an adhesive-backed Jenni Bowlin butterfly and the sentiment "Smile" is a new die from Intricutz (Couture Creations).
