I have seen Tracy's sketch challenges for the past few weeks but I just couldn't find the time to play along. Well tonight since I was feeling a little better I made time to play. I am so far behind on cards I need to get out because of my cold last week, I thought this quick sketch would be the perfect tool to help me out. First here is Tracy's sketch.
Now here is a thank you card I should have gotten out last week...shame on me!
I pretty much left the sketch as is because I think my mojo is still on cold meds or following Hurricane Ike, which is turning out to be a monster of a storm heading our way.
I started with an A Muse Blueberry Kitchen notecard for the card base. I used a strip of white cardstock for the thank you sentiment and added the red Bazzill, which I scalloped with the Mega Nestabilities Die. I used my oval Nestabilities Dies to cut out the layers for my image. The Wild Bouquet is stamped in Stazon Jet Black ink and colored with Koh-I-Noor colored pencils and Gamsol. I added some yellow Stickles in the center of the red flowers for a little sparkle.
Thank you Card Recipe...
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern Paper: A Muse Blueberry Kitchen Notecard
Stamps: A Muse ~ Wild Bouquet and Thank you mix
Ink: Stazon Jet Black
Accessories: Yellow Stickles, Plain and Scalloped Oval, and Mega Rectangle Nestabilities Dies
These colors are great! I *LOVE* that "thank you" stamp. I wish 3 things: 1. There was some place around me to buy them (because I like seeing stamps in person). 2. That I wasn't so cheap and would buy more A*muse stamps. 3. That I had some reason to buy any sort of crafts right now. I haven't bought anything in so long and I really have no reason to right now with everything packed up. But man, is my wish list getting long! :)
