Here is the sketch for this week:

 

 

 

 I wanted to try the new bow die that I just purchased from The Greetery.  I thought it might look nice on this sketch inspired card.

Pretty, huh?

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #745

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

The sketch for this week is another great one to use paper scraps.

 

That's what I did. 

The card above is actually my second effort.  I started another card and then the idea I had had didn't quite work.  But eventually I went back to it and I'm happy with the result.

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #701

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

Here is the sketch for this week:

 

This sketch gave me pause.  First I tried stenciling the circles, but I didn't know where to go from there.

Next I tried die cutting the circles and gluing them on.  But then I realized I had 12 circles, not 9.

I tried cutting the correct number of circles, gluing them on, embossing the sheet, and then using another die to created the stitching around the outside.  Then I rotated the design, embellished it and stamped an anniversary sentiment, and it is ready to send off to my granddaughter at the end of the month.

 

 

Here are my first two attempts:

 

I can't wait to visit your blogs and see what you do with this sketch!

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #647

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

This week's sketch is by Andrea.

When I first saw this sketch, I temporarily panicked because we are away from home and I only have limited stash with me.

But, I do have my laptop and a printer and oodles of digital stamps.  It wasn't long until I came across a digital image by From the Heart.  I thought this would be a great card for Mother's Day, a birthday, or just to bring a smile to someone who might need one.

 

 

 

The sentiment is a digi by FTH, too.

The bird digi was colored with pencils and blended.  And the flowers have a touch of Wink of Stella.

Those teeny, tiny dies were freebies from a magazine. 

 

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

this week. 

The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Mother's Day Card

 Yesterday, I discovered some pretty die cuts hiding in an envelope of miscellaneous items that had no home.  And since I couldn't find the card I had made for my mother weeks ago, I used them to make her this card instead:

For the background paper behind the die cut,  I used colored pencils and a clear glitter brush to blend them.  The sentiment stamp is from CTMH.   And somewhere, if I ever find it, is next year's card already made.  Don't you just hate when that happens?

 

Challenges:

Cut It Up Challenge #225 - Mother's Day 

As You Like It Challenge - Favorite Way to Add Ribbon (When I want a ribbon on my card, I just pull a bow out a a bag of bows I've made from ribbon ends, add a sticky adhesive dot and pop it right on the card.  Easy!)
