Simply Sketched

I love poppies!

• The card base is Whisper White CS, layered with Calypso Coral CS then Pear Pizzazz CS. I rounded the corners on all the layers.
• I colored the stamp of the poppy from Simply Sketched with markers and then stamped it on a piece of Whisper White CS.
• I colored the phrase from the same set with markers and stamped it on a scrap of Whisper White CS and cut it out with a Labels Framelit.  I sponged the edges with Calypso Coral Ink then added Dimensionals to pop it up on the card base.

Faux Leather Simply Sketched

I like doing the faux leather technique, it is a fun look. If you would like to see some of the cards I have done in the past, here is a link.

• The card base is Crumb Cake CS. 
• I layered Pear Pizzaz CS and then Natural Composition Specialty DSP then wrapped Linen thread around it. I layered this onto the card base.
• I cut tan fun foam with the Apothecary Accents Framelit,  I heated it with my heat tool until it began to shrink then pressed the stamp (inked with Soft Suede) into it.
• I layered it onto a Pear Pizzazz piece cut with the same Framelit(fun foam does noticeable shrink) and added it to the card.
• On a scrap of Crumb Cake CS I stamped a phrase from Teeny Tiny Wishes using Pear Pizzazz ink. I cut it out with a Framelit from the same set I used to cut the image. I sponged it with Crumb Cake ink and popped it up with Dimentionals on the card front.

Simply Sketched Sneak Peek II

First, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers!

This image is what I bought Simply Sketched for! I used five New products on this card.

•  The card base is Pear Pizzazz a returning color to the Subtles Ink family. The front is Very Vanilla the was ran through the Big Shot in a new embossing folder called Modern Mosaic(there is a matching Punch).
• I stamped the image on Watercolor Paper and then cut it out with a Ovals Collection Framelit, I cut a piece of Old Olive with the next size larger. I colored the poppy with a New In Color Strawberry Slush and with Old Olive with shadows done in Soft Sky.
• I stamped the phrase from a New stamp set called Label Love, in Strawberry Slush, on a scrap of Very Vanilla and punched it out with a New punch called Artisan Label. I layered it onto a Decorative Label punch Old Olive CS I ran through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I cut away the center of the Old Olive piece so that it fit around the phrase. The phrase is popped up on the piece with Dimensional and added to the card.

So I hope you like my sneak peek, I can't wait until June 1 when we can order from the complete catalog! 

Simply Sketched (sneak peek)

Simply Sketched is a Hostess set in the upcoming catalog. I loved it so much that I didn't want to wait and earn it so I paid for it ;). So here is a card with one of its images.

• The card base is Very Vanilla with a front of Soft Suede.
• I ran a piece of returning Pear Pizzazz through the Big Shot in the Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I layered it onto the Soft Suede front.
• I stamped the image onto Watercolor paper with Stazon and painted the image with ink and an Aqua Painter. I cut it out with the Ovals Collection Framelits. I layered it onto an oval of Baked Brown Sugar(new in color). I attached it to the card.
• I stamped a phrase from the set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla in Soft Suede and cut it using a Apothecary Accents Framelits. I sponged Soft Suede on the edges then popped it up on the card with Dimensionals.

I can't wait until the the new catalog official launch date!
