Dahlia Thank You


This card is based upon SCS Sketch SC316.  I combined Pool Party and Old Olive for this two-toned look.  The dahlia was inked in Island Indigo ink but colored in with Pool Party and a blender pen.  I used the trick I learned at convention to tie the ribbon.  ( Retired two-tone ribbon that I loved!). I hope you like my card.

Warm Wishes


So I needed a Christmas card done in non-traditional colors and I had received the Winter Frost DSP, the silver 1/8" ribbon and the Remembering Christmas stamp set as my Prize Patrol gift at the SU convention, so I figured that was perfect for my card!  The new Smoky Slate is very silver in tone so it is perfect to go with this DSP. I accented the layers with Island Indigo for a little "pop". I hope you like my card!

Thanks, so much


My SU upline posted a sketch challenge yesterday for our Facebook group.  This was my take on the sketch.  Hope you like my card!

Gee, thanks


I originally saw a similar card on the Stampin' Up! website on the customer page.  I liked the sewing and the use of the Embossing Folder to guide the stitches.  Hope you like my card!

Thinking of You

I created this card for a Sketch swap for one of my Yahoo groups.  I really like the combination of Summer Starfruit and Coastal Cabana.  The stamp set is called Kind & Cozy.  At first I didn't like the sentiment done in black, but after I added some other black doodles, I think it all tied together.  I hope you like my card.

Baker's Twine Birthday


I just love this stamped flower from the Flower Shop stamp set.  It reminds me of one of the first stamp sets that I ever got with SU called All Natural.  Do you remember that one?  It had a pear, a leaf, an acorn and a Thank You sentiment.  But I loved the flower.  That's why when I saw this string flower on Pinterest (meridianroad.blogspot.ca) I just knew I had to make one to use on a card with the stamped flowers.  I hope you like my card.
