Weekend Sketch Challenge

Good Afternoon chickies. Hope ya'll had a great weekend. Mine was quite, I was sick for a couple of days with tummy issues, but I'm better now. The weather here is HOT!!! I hate to even go outside because it's so hot. I think we have some rain in the forecast.

Todays card I'm sharing, is one I did for theWeekend Sketch Challenge . This is the first time for me doing the Weekend Sketch Challenge. I hope you like what I've done.

Receipe for my card, this is a 4 1/2"x 4 1/2" card

Stamp Set...Flight of the Butterfly

Cardstock...White, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Razzleberry Lemonde DSP

Ink....Black Stazon, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo

Misc: Pop Dots, Nestabilities, Ribbon, Piercing Tool, pearl stickers

Note: I just recieved the butterfly punch from SU and it's NOT a match. It cuts off the antenas of the butterfly. Was told by SU that that's the way the punch was designed by the orginal company that makes the punches. I was so hopping it would match a bit better.

That's all for today, have a great Tuesday. Thanks so much for stoppin by and remember, keep on stampin it's good for your soul.

Good Afternoon chickies. I know it's been a week since I've posted anything. It's just been a very busy week here. Hubby home (gone now), working on the remodel of my stampin/scrap room, my father was in the hospital (home now, doing good), well you get the picture. LOL It's been so blasted hot here in SW MO. Can't wait for a cool down.

Birthday Rose

Good Afternoon chickies. Happy Wednesday!!! It's HOT here in SW MO....a/c is running and won't be shut off til Fall I don't think. ERRRR Electric bill will be very high. The price we pay to stay cool!!!

Todays card is a bit different than I usually do. It WILL NOT be a SAS/workshop card. Too much of a glitter mess and takes forever to dry.

Products Used:

Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral, It's Your Birthday
Cardstock: (GASP) PTI White, SU Ruby Red and Clear Transparency
Ink: Black Stazon and Old Olive
Misc: Glitter Glue, Red Glitter, Popdots, Ribbon, Paper Piercer/Matt, Scalloped Edge Punch and Little Leaf Sizzlet Die

I found this card on a blog, and shame on me that I can't find it to put a link here. But the orginal creator used Yellow cardstock for the rose. But I wanted to make a glitter rose. I really like the outcome of the card in general. I'll be making a yellow one for my mom for her birthday in August.

That's it for today. Have a great evening and remember to keep on stampin, it's good for your soul. As always thanks so much for stoppin by.
