1 SKETCH, 3 VERY DIFFERENT CARDS!

hello there :o)

Utilizing the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches






This card was my first effort. I used a couple colors on the word Beautiful to get a gradient look - top half is pink, bottom half is orange. I couldn't accomplish this without the Misti tool as it required multiple stampings in the same place.

SUPPLIES

gradient circle stamp - Altenew Halftone Circles set
flowers stamp - Stampendous! Agapanthus
word stamp - Altenew Magnolia Ballerina set

 Entering the Simon Says Stamp challenge - Add a Sentiment



I started this card upside down and but needed to change the orientation midpoint once I decided to use a different phrase. Hearts were punched from scraps and glued down. This envelope stamp is ancient but there are plenty of this type still being made.

SUPPLIES

envelope stamp - Picture Show
word stamp - unknown clear set
hearts - assorted punches

Playing along with the Gem of a Challenge - Anything Goes



This card might be my favorite from this sketch, because of the casual flecked oatmeal cardstock, and delicate Spring feel of the bouquet.  The stripes are stamped in a VersaMagic chalk ink, words are white embossed, and black specks are spattered ink.  The main image was colored with colored pencils and fussy cut, then foam mounted.

SUPPLIES

flower arrangement stamp - Annette Allen Watkins
stripes stamp - A Muse Artstamps Uneven Bars
word stamp - Stampendous! True Friends set
