Sketch Frenzy Friday 1-14-11--I stamped!!!!

Hi Stampers!

Yes, I DID stamp. No MDS this week--I actually stamped a card! But first, let me show you the sketch--a great one from Melinda Couden:



And now here is my card:

I had been wanting to play with the new buttons and vintage flowers from the Occasions Mini (if you want to see the Mini look in my left sidebar and click on the image of the cover. My card base is Night of Navy and the layers are Presto Patterns, sponged with Crumb Cake ink, and a strip of one of the designs from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper that is also in the Occasions Mini. Then I used mini glue dots to stick one of the Very Vanilla Vintage flowers to a Rose Red button--actually 3 of each. Then I mounted them on the card. A simple but elegant card, I think.

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday Number 2!!

Hi Everyone:

One of the GREAT things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is getting to hook up with other demonstrators who share your passion for stamping. As part of the Late Nite Stampers, I get to hang out with other great demonstrators and stampers who have enormous talent for this craft I love.

Recently, some of us formed a sub-group to post a sketch and samples made from that sketch every Friday. The group actually posted their first sketch and samples LAST Friday, 5/21, but due to computer circumstances beyond my control, I couldn't participate. But, being the great bunch of people they are, I have another chance to participate THIS week. Here's the template:

And here is my sample:

I am VERY happy with my sample! I used the fabulous Vintage Vogue set, which is carrying over to the new catalog in July. The cardstock colors are Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry. Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Perfect Plum, and Pale Plum. Instead of the line of same-sized brads, I used one of the filigree brads with a larger silver colored brads from the 5/16"neutrals brad assortment. For the greeting instead of using Hodge Podge hardware, I stamped the greeting on Whisper White which I punched out with the scallop oval punch, then I backed it with a scallop oval cut out with the Movers and Shapers die for the big shot. My ribbon is the Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon.
