Sketch Frenzy Friday--A Square Card

Hi Stampers:

Hope you're all doing well this fine Friday! It is hotter than a bandit's pistol (my mother's phrase) here in good ole Cincinnati--up in the 90's again with killer humidity! Well, at least it's cool in my house, so I could stamp a card for SFF this week. First off, here is our sketch from Tammy Fite:


Cute, isn't it? And here is my creation:



I don't think the photography does it justice, since it is a little crooked and the card seems to be leaning. I adjusted and readjusted my easel, but it never really looked right! This is a different kind of card for me since it is 5-1/2" square. Here's what I used:


  • Wild Wasabi card base, cut 5-1/2" X 11" and scored at 5-1/2" and folded in half.

  • A 5-1/4" square piece of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions embossing folder.

  • Peach Parfait scallop square cut with the Big Shot and embossed with the Flower Garden Textured Impressions embossing folder. I popped it up over the white layer with Stampin' Dimensionals.

  • Sentiment from the Cottage Garden stamp set and stamped with Early Espresso ink--my favorite for stamping words and sentiments!

  • A length of the so pretty 5/8" organza ribbon.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--My Favorite Color

Hi Stampers!



It's Friday! And time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday creation. Our sketch this week is provided by Jennifer Weide:



And here's my project--created in My Digital Studio:

My favorite color is PURPLE! You would think I would use it more often in stamping and creating, but for some reason I always think I'm going to get in a rut and become BORING if I use it too much. Consequently, I hardly ever use it! So today I did!!

Here's what I used in MDS:


  • Card base: Perfect Plum

  • 1st layer: Cottage Garden Designer Series Paper. Yes, it is available in MDS although no longer available as traditional DSP

  • 2nd layer: Whisper White

  • Just Believe stamp brush set--label image in Rich Razzleberry, sentiment in Perfect Plum

  • Victoria crochet ribbon made a little wider than real life.

That's it for me. Now click over to Maria's blog to continue our mini tour or click over to the main Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to start at the beginning or to upload your own creation.


Enjoy!
