March SFYTT

Happy Monday!  I have a quick post today to share the card I made for the March Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) on Jen Del Muro's blog.  This month's challenge is sponsored by Amber Ink.

Here is this month's sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

My card base is SU Rose Red.  All of the patterned paper is from Basic Grey's new Hello Luscious 6x6 pad. I downloaded a cute digi set from Amber Ink called Perfect Package and printed several of the images on Cryogen White Iridescent CS.  I colored everything with Copic markers and highlighted with Spica pens.  The bow on the floor is popped up. I finished my card with a yellow button and bow from my stash.
I also submitted this for last week's Birthday Card challenge on The Outlawz site.  The challenge was to make a birthday card with ribbon or string and at least one circle.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you soon!

SFYTT and a Recipe Thank You

I'm back to share a card I made for two challenges.  First, it is for the Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) at iheart2stamp.com.  Jen Del Muro has changed things up a bit in the new year. You can check all the details here.   My card is also for the Saturday challenge on the Our Creative Corner blog. The challenge this week was a Thank You Recipe Challenge - to make a thank you card using a blue and cream palette, something metal and vellum.

Here is Jen's sketch for the month of January:

Here is my thank you card using the sketch:

I used the Magnolia Tilda With Amaryllis for my main image.  I colored her with Copic markers, but changed up the colors so it wouldn't look like a Christmas image.  There is a touch of much needed green and brown here - hope that's OK.  It's mainly a blue and cream palette.  I stamped the circular border and Thank You sentiment (from Gina K. Designs Organize It set) onto vellum with Memento Rich Cocoa, cut it out and layered with Spellbinders Scallop and Classic Circle Nestabilities.  The card base is Baja Breeze and the patterned paper is from the Tim Holtz Paper Stash Vintage Shabby 12 x 12 pad.  I finished it with some Bazzill paper flowers, a button and a metal ring with a bit of ribbon from my stash.
