Thursday Sketch # 5

Sorry I'm getting this up so late. I really need to start making the sketch cards the day before since normally I stamp at night, but I just never seem to get around to to it =).


I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. The picture looks pretty bad though. I was having a really hard time getting a decent picture of this card. My camera doesn't seem to like these colors.

-Stamps-Baroque Motifs, Linen Background, Itty Bitty Backgrounds, Season of Joy & Snow Flurries
-Ink-Baroque Burgundy, Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke
-Paper-Baroque Burgundy, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Kraft, and Whisper White.
-Accessories-Mellow Moss 1/4" grosgrain and Glue dots.

Sketch Challenge 140 and Color Challenge 127

-Paper-River Rock, Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White

Altered Pringles can

Well, I've been seeing these altered Pringles cans on SCS, so I had to make one. Someone had the idea that they could be filled with Christmas cookies to give to friends and family, so I think I'm going to do that. Lots of people are also using them for home decor, but I'm just not that creative =). I really need to order some designer series paper, I think that would have looked better. All I have right now is the Palette O' Prints, which you can't do but so much with. Check out the one's on Splitocast. They are awesome!


Recipe-
-Stamps-Baroque Motifs, Linen background and Happy Everything
-Paper-Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, and Kraft.
-Ink-Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, and Creamy Caramel.
-Accessories-Bravo Burgundy grosgrain, circle cutter..oh yea, and a Pringles can =).

Fathers Day shirt card

I just tried Cambria's shirt folding technique for my fathers day cards. Check out her awesome tutorial HERE. For the tie, I just used a strip of paper, cut the bottom to the right shape and wrapped another piece around the top of it with a mini glue dot underneath to make it pop a little bit.
I don't have a Happy Fathers Day stamp, so I used an alphabet set instead (thats why it looks so crappy), the happy is from polka dots and paisley though.
Stamps: Polka dots & Paisley, Straight Up Alphabet (retired), Linen Background (not sure if you can see it. I didn't have Buckaroo Blue ink, so I used Bashful Blue).
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Bashful Blue
Paper: Buckaroo Blue, Close to Cocoa, and Chocolate Chip (pattern paper is not SU!)
Accessories: French Blue grosgrain, eyelets, ticket corner punch.
