Summer's Coming - MFTWSC172
Happy Monday!
I made a card using the sketch over at My Favorite Things. It's been a long time since I made a card using their sketch but when I saw the sketch I new I wanted to make something summery.
Here is the sketch:
For my card I turned the sketch on it's side and decided not to use a sentiment.
I was inspired by Amy Rysavy of Prairie Paper & Ink to actually decorate the inside of the card using some of the same papers and the same stamp.
Here is a list of supplies I used.
Stamps: My Favorite Things-P.I.-Make A Splash
Design Paper: My Mind's Eye-On The Sunny Side 6x6 paper pad

Happy Anniversary
Happy Easter! Hope your having a good day. I am just doing this quick post before I get ready for my friends to come over for a Turkey dinner. The house is clean, the turkey is in the oven and just need to get the side ready, have a shower and we're ready to go.
Here is another Anniversary card I have made for one of my friends to give away.
I used three shades of peach/orange for the flower and I'm not totally sure I like how it turned out. Maybe another colour added would have made a better contrast.
So I really different like the flower so I remade the flower using the following ink colours.
Hero Arts: Fresh Peach, Orange Soda & Pale Tomato.
Here is a list of the supplies I used:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink-The Sweet Life, MFT-Cleary Sentimental About Anniversaries
Dies/Embosssing Folders: Papertrey Ink-The Sweet Life Dies, Sizzix-Valentine Set #2 Embossing Folders
Ink: Hero Arts-Fresh Peach, Soft Cantaloupe, Orange Soda, Versamark

Hello, Sending Happy Thoughts
I made another card using the Hello that was die cut from the previous watercolour/distress ink card panel.

Here is the card:
