#DOswts446 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators! The dog days of summer are here. We finally reached 100* in North Texas. It took its sweet time getting here and I am so thankful for that.

Enough about the weather, let's get to work on our new sketch.

As you know, I've been trying to step out of the box. I have two interpretations of this sketch. I will list the supplies used for the first card. I will post a picture of the second card too.

Night of Navy cardstock - cut 8.5"X5.5" - scored at 4.25"

Misty Moonlight cardstock - cut 5.25"X 4"

Basic white cardstock - scraps for image and sentiment

DSP - Cut 2 - each one 4"X1.5"

Stamp Bundle - Framed Scenes

Stamp Bundle - More Messages

Embellishments - Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems (I used the clear ones)

This second card looks more like the sketch, but I like them both.

Happy creating!

#DOswts445 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators!

My last post I mentioned how it was still spring here in North Texas. Sadly, it ended yesterday. We are in the 90s now. Keep your fingers crossed that the 100s are still a little way off. Thank you.

On this sketch I used a little more Starlighter creativity than normal, but I still think the heart of the sketch is still there.

Here is the recipe:

Basic Black cardstock - cut 5.5" X 8.5" - scored at 4.25"

Mixed Media Floral DSP - cut 3" X 5.5"

Focal point - Mixed Media Florals colored with Stampin' Blends

More Messages for sentiment

Old Olive cardstock for greenery

Opal Rounds - embellishments

I love tulips! This card really spoke to me. I hope you give the sketch a try.

Happy creating!

#DOswts444 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators!

Spring is here finally. Our flood waters are receding. I believe our drought is broken. Thank goodness!

This sketch will put you in the mood for spring if you aren't already there.

Don't you just love that blossom focal point? I did!

Here's the recipe:

Thick White cardstock - cut 8.5" X 5.5" - scored at 4.25"

Strawberry Slush cardstock - scrap for sentiment layer

DSP - Floral Impressions - cut 1 piece 3.5" X 3.5" square and 1 piece 3.25" X 3.25" square. You can use two different pieces of DSP. I used the same piece with the "B" side as the bigger square.

Stamp sets - More Messages and Impressions Abloom

Inks - Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, and Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellishments - Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

The Impressions Abloom is a new Online Exclusive. It released on 6 May 25. I think it's beautiful and fell in love with it immediately.

Happy creating!
