Freshly Made Sketches - Sentiment



Goals for the new year are to use things in my UFO box and the NBUS box and to complete four unfinished scrapbooks.  For the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge I chose a piece of previously colored Brusho background paper and a snippet of distress ink colored paper. First I embossed the large piece and I die cut the small purple snippet. I found a die cut piece of black craft foam and attached the purple hugs piece which I applied wink of stella. All of these pieces I placed on a piece of black card stock which looked better than a piece of white. The texture of the brusho looks so good. Lastly I added a little bling.

Paper - watercolor, black card stock
Ink - Brushos, Distress Ink
Embossing Folder - Darice "Basket Weave"
Die cut - Lawn Fawn "hugs"
Other - Wink of Stella, black craft foam, crystal bling

This bunny image was stamped and colored with Copics and I attached it to the back of an embossed piece of card stock and then attached to the base card.

Card for Lucita and Seize the Birthday



Wow I have not posted a card for over a month. After I got all my Christmas "things" finished I decided to take a break from anything Christmas. The holiday was lovely however my children gave me a cold and I have been suffering for two weeks.
A card making friend sent me the below info about a young girl from Honduras who is fighting the cancer fight. I decided to submit this card for Lucita also to Seize the Birthday in hopes that the info may circulate.
The image is Penny Black and it was colored with Copics. I die cut with a MFT stitched die and then mounted onto pink SU! paper and then green card stock.

Stamps - Penny Black "Mimi in Paris"
Die Cut - MFT Pierced Square
Ink - Copics, VersaFine, GellyRoll white pen, Copic Multiliner
Paper - Lasting Impressions (green), SU! (pink), Neenah
