Card Patterns sketch

Good evening, inkers!
Just one card tonight - I thought I’d have a more fruitful session, but frankly, I feel like someone chewed me through and spat me out. LOL
So, without further ado, here it is…

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: PTI (Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry); paper: Basic Grey (Curio); stamps: Penny Black, Sullivans; ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap), Versa Magic (Spanish Olive); Copics; Nestabilities Circles; sewing machine; ribbon: SU!; buttons; string: AnnaBelle Stamps

I’m playing with Card Patterns sketch 117 (I’ve been loving Nina’s sketches!), and Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge #8 (although my colours are a bit more saturated versions of the inspiration)

I hope you like the card… see you tomorrow, have a fabulous day! xoxo

In teals

Good grief, I managed an evening’s post! Unplanned and late, but what the heck. I love hanging around with you folks 🙂
I’ve got two new cards to share, let’s start with a CAS that I’m very happy about (although this is the kind of card that I usually consider cheated - it required very little amount of work).
Remember the card that I posted earlier today, with the (wonky) scored background? Well, I decided that I try to make it a true 45 degrees this time, and so I did.
For those who also struggle with keeping the angles, here’s a tip - place a setsquare in the corner of the score board, so that the right angle is in the corner. The edge of the longer side will guide your paper 🙂

Supplies: cardstock: American Crafts (teal, grey, black), white; stamps: Red Lead Paperworks; ink: Versafine (Onyx Black); ribbon: PTI (Ocean Tides); Score Buddy

I combined on this card the Embellish Text Color Trends Challenge, FTL142 sketch (I took some freedom…), and CAS121 - Folded and/or Scrunched Ribbon.

I’ve also got this card, another no-brainer, and that’s because layering and cutting into apaper is something that requires no thinking on my side.
It uses my set from the TSG Store - Flying By.

Supplies: cardstock: SU! (Wild Wasabi), American Crafts (Coffee), cream; paper: Cosmo Cricket; stamps: There She Goes (Flying By); ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black); Copics; Nestabilities Circles/Scalloped Circles; paper piercer; Glossy Accents; gem brads

I based this one on the SSSC119 sketch:

As always, thank you soooo much for paying me a visit, and especially for leaving the the much appreciated comments! I hope you’ll have a wonderful day, and I’m heading to bed. See you tomorrow… mwah!

Inspiration

Hi, peeps! I’m chiming in with a quick card from this morning. I was browsing the challenges in search for something quick & easy, and I stumbled upon the current Featured Stamper challenge on SCS (FS225). The FS this week is Rosemary, aka RosiGrld, and I found this uber AMAZING card in her gallery. Can you say gorgeous??
I must say that I failed lining up the scored lines perfectly though. I wish mine were as neat as hers!

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: PTI (Aqua Mist), white, recycled kraft; stamps: PTI (Mat Stack 1 - with die), Layers Of Color (Sent With Love), Grace Taylor; ink: Memento (Rich Cocoa), Versa Magic (Aquatic Splash); Copics; pearls: Kaisercraft; Score Buddy

I also used the colours of CR84FN30:

See ya’ later, sweets! Enjoy your day 🙂

A few things to keep in mind if you decide to use my sketch:
- You’re kindly asked to save the image onto your computer first, and if you make a card based on it, please link back to this post.
- If you upload your card to an online gallery, please use the code SSC13.
- Please share the link to your creation via the Inlinkz widget, so that I can come and check it out. I would love to see what you did with it!
- The colours/elements mean nothing towards the card. All styles, colours and supplies, as well as slight alterations of the sketch are welcome.
- A new sketch and sample is posted every Saturday, but you’re welcome to play any time! Just leave a link in the comments section after Inlinkz widget closes.
