Sketch Frenzy Friday--A Quick Card!!

Hi Stampers:

I DO mean a quick card! Jennifer Weide provided the sketch this week, and as soon as I saw it, I had an idea of what I wanted to create, so it came together rather quickly. Here is Jennifer's sketch:

Here's my card:

As you can see, I deviated from the sketch a little bit. The center section is a strip of Beyond the Garden DSP, with Wild Wasabi punched with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch. I also wove a length of 1/8" Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon thru the strip. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White in Soft Suede ink and is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and mounted on a large scallop circle punched out of Daffodil Delight card stock. I also included a water colored blossom from the Fabulous Florets set. The blossom was stamped on our watercolor paper and painted with Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango.

Now that you've seen my creation, click on over to MARIA'S BLOG. You can also start at the beginning of the mini blog tour by clicking on the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Another MDS Creation!

Hi Stampers:



It's Friday, so that means another Sketch Frenzy Friday! I am using My Digital Studio again. Did I ever tell you that I LOVE MDS? Well, I do! There are so many things you can do with it. I'm explaining a couple of them in my post today.


First, though, here's our sketch from Tina Taves:

And here is my MDS interpretation:

Here's what I used:

• Beyond the Garden digital Designer Series Paper



• Card base of Regal Rose--although the DSP pink color is Rose Red, I thought the Regal Rose matched the DSP better on my computer. And here is one of the MDS options: I lowered the opacity of the Regal Rose color to about 60%--I think that made a better match of the base color to some of the DSP flowers.



• Scalloped circle punch in Wild Wasabi



• 1-1/4" circle punch in Whisper White



• Fabulous Florets Stamp Brush set--the leaf sprig in Wild Wasabi and the solid flower is Regal Rose and Rose Red. I put white smaller circles behind the flowers so that the Wild Wasabi sprig color would not show thru the white spaces of the flowers, but when I added the drop shadows to the flowers, the white turned a bit grayish--Oh well, I still like it. I love using drop shadows on EVERYTHING. I think it makes the creation look a little more like a stamped project and therefore more lifelike.



• A Regal Rose Bow

And there you have it. Please join us and upload your creation at our SFF BLOG.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Having Fun with Fabulous Florets

Hi Stampers:

Well it's a little late, but I can now post my Sketch Frenzy Friday post. Blogger has been down for the last day and a half, so it's been hard to be patient while they fixed whateer the problem was. Anyway--here we go! The sketch this week is by Patrice Herrera. Patrice is fairly new to the group, but she is loaded with talent, as you will able to tell from this sketch:

The sketch itself is pretty colorful and could be used as-is I think! Here is my interpretation:

As you can see, I turned the sketch on it's side and added a sentiment on the right side. I used a base of Daffodil Delight, 2 strips of Designer Paper from Beyond the Garden DSP, available in the Summer Mini (click on the Order Online button in the right bar of my blog if you want to order),
a large scallop circle punch and a punched Designer Label from Wild Wasabi card stock, a piece of Whisper White card stock--the Wild Wasabi and Whisper White pieces were all embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and the sentiment is from Curly Cute and stamped on Whisper White using my go-to color for sentiments, Early Espresso. The flower is the large open flower from Fabulous Florets inked with Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight. Hope you enjoy it!
