lunchtime sketch #8

This card I used the sketch at Technostamper.

Inked the edges with distress ink color is vintage photo.

The lace is real pretty, just click on picture to see it better.

Picked up the lace at a thrift store. I put brown ribbon under the top of the lace.

The flower I cut with a circle cutter, and matted it to the blue, ivory and brown CS.

Punched the word window in ivory CS and put the 3 brown brads.

Blue CS mounted on the brown card.

The flower I painted with midnight blue and white acrylic, a Liz's original .

The middle oval I used pop cots to stand it out.

springtime

Can you tell I've been thinking spring? Another daisy card. This daisy I cut out and pop dotted

to the bottom strip.

The strips are white with daisy paper by SU and the

SU ribbon wrapped around the strip. I distressed the edges of the strips with a distress tool. It's a razor that you run along the edges to rough them up.

And of course had to paint on the cute ladybug.

This would be a sweet Mother's day card.

DAISIES

I added the cute little ladybug to the daisies. Green eyelets in the corners of the flower. double matted white and yellow. And the green magic mesh on the bottom.

This card reminds me of Minnie Mouse.

The polka dots is a vellum paper over the red card with white brads to adhere it in the corners.

I also double matted this flower with red and yellow CS.

On the daisies I outlined the petals to make them pop. The color I used was yellow ochre.

TULIPS

The stamp 'have faith' is from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.

I painted two extra tulips. These cards I used Julee's sketch idea, I really like the sketch layout. I've had this red mesh for a few years in my stash , so it was time to use it. On both cards I used the yellow mulberry paper.

Another sketch challenge I was working on is the tulip card. The tulip is a Liz's original painting and then I cut it out and adhered it to the card.

yellow brads

yellow lace

yellow mulberry paper

red CS

This is such a cool sketch and I though the tulip would work great with the longer panel in the sketch. I like the results, will it win ,I hope so.

The sketch was a challenge, I changed colors and embellishments many times. The important thing is do I like it, and I do so I'll be off to submit it.

Lunchtime sketch challenge #7

This is a CTMH stamp set I used. But I did it with acrylic paints. Painted in the balloons and happy birthday with a script liner brush, and then added the dots with the tip of the brush.

Those are blue brads on the yellow strips of CS.

The square edges I painted with the blue paint.

And adhered them with pop dots
