5th Avenue Floral

Hello! It's new sketch time over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week it's one of my sketches, a pretty simple and easy one. Hope you can come play along. The flowers are from a SU set called 5th Avenue Floral. I colored them with my Copics, hand cut them and finished them off with some pearls. The leaves are from a Spellbinder die, the sentiment is from a Verve set. I added extra texture with the help of 2 of my favorite embossing folders CB Swiss Dots and SU Square Lattice. Happy with this one! Thanks so much for stopping by ans be sure to stop by and check out what the rest of the DT has come up with this week.

Gingham and Roses

Hello and Happy Tuesday! It's time for some more sketchy fun at Tuesday Morning Sketches! The month of January we are revisiting our favorite sketches from 2016. This week's sketch was my pick and I was in the mood to make something feminine and girly. I went with a Mother's day card, never to early right??!! I used a Verve sentiment, heat embossed and than sponged with some distress ink. Added some flowers and pearls to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by an be sure to go check out what the rest of the DT has created!

Hello!! Today's card uses my favorite tree stamp of all time! It's a Stampin Up classic. I used different colored inks to make it a fall card instead of the more traditional green tree. I love how it turned out. I over layed  it with a Verve scripture stamp, this was a past Mojo sketch also. Challenges I'm entering are listed below. Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!

Pearls and Lace

Hello! We are having a snow day here in PA so I spent some time in my stamp room. I found this sketch on A Day in the Life of the Paper Poppy blog and thought i'd play along! Not much stamping on today's card just the sentiment but i got to use one of the 3D embellishments that I've wanting to use. Decided it would make the perfect Mother's Day card.

Crocheted Butterfly

I'm so excited about this card! I was talking with some of my friends over on the SCS and they knew I crocheted flowers. I made this flower pot card for my Mom for Mother's day. She loved it and said I was going to make her cry. Anyway they started showing me different things to try to make and one of them was butterflies! So this morning on the ride to church I was playing around and came up with this butterfly! I remembered the Mojo Monday sketch this week had a butterfly on it so that is what I used to make my card! It also fits the 2RedBananas challenge this week which was to use 3 different Dp's on 1 card! Which I think is a first for me. I'm so pleased with how this card came out! I might have to keep this one! Does anyone else ever have a card they make that they just can't bare to part with?? I don't have many but I think this one will be a keeper! I think I may also start selling some of my crocheted butterflies and flowers! If your interested keep checking back for updates.
