I made this sweet but simple card for this week's freshly made sketches challenge.

Supplies used are :

White cardstock,

StudioG inks,

Pink gems,

Handwritten sentiments clear stamps,

Fabulous Florets rubber cling stamps.

I stamped the leaf directly onto the card base and then stamped and cut out the flower, which is adhered onto the leaf with a double-sided adhesive circle.

The sentiment is from Hampton Arts handwritten sentiments clear stamps.

Then I added a few gems to complete my card.

Supplies used :

Cardstock : Pastel green, green marble, Dots & Stripes paper pack, white, hunter green

Framelits : stamp & cut butterflies, stamp & cut flowers, scalloped squares

Die cuts : branch w/ leaves die cut

Stamp sets : stamp & cut butterflies, stamp & cut flowers, handwritten sentiments

I decided to make another card for this weeks http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com card challenge.

However, I decided to make a square card instead of the normal 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.

I used a scalloped square framelit with pastel green cardstock for the blank card. Then I used green marble cardstock for the first layer or background. Then I cut a strip of a striped paper from my Dots & Stripes paper pack and used it behind my flowers.

I used my branch w/ leaves die cut with hunter green paper to go behind my flowers, which are stamped onto white paper with Lavender Lace ink and cut out with the matching framelit.

I used Elegant eggplant for the 2 butterflies, which are also cut out using the matching framelit.

The sentiment is stamped on using Perfect Plum ink. Then I added the sequins to give my card an added look.

I hope you will enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for stopping by.

I decided to try using a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" scalloped circle framelit to make a circle card for this weeks challenge. I used a pastel green for this. 

Then I used a green marble paper and I cut out a large circle to use as my background.

The striped strip on the side is paper from my Dots & Stripes paper pad.

I used my branch w/ leaves die cut along with my Stamp & Cut flowers set, which is a clear stamp set that comes with the matching framelits. For my flowers, I used Perfect Plum ink and for the sentiment, I used Elegant Eggplant ink, which are both Stampin' Up inks. The sentiment is from my Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set. I added the sequins to give my card an added look.

And this completes my card for this weeks card challenge. Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are appreciated.

Supplies used :

I really like this weeks Freshly Made Sketches card challenge. It gave me the opportunity to use my snowflakes die cut. This card challenge is located at http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com. 

For those of you who do not know, the reason why I number my cards is because that way I know how many cards I have made since I first started making cards back in 2011. It is also easier for future reference should anyone inquire about a specific card and would like to know more about it.

With that being said, let me tell you about this card...

I chose white, metallic gold and metallic silver cardstocks for the colors. For the bottom half of my card, I used an embossing folder to accent it and then I used a paper piercing tool to accent the border of the top half.

I used metallic silver for the background of my snowflake, which was cut out using my snowflakes #3 die cut. Then I used a metallic gold and white snowflake in the middle to accent the background snowflake.

The first part of my sentiment is from my Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set and the rest of the sentiment is from my "Twas the night before" clear stamp set. Both are stamped onto my card with silver/grey ink. And to highlight my card, I used a few gems.

This completes my card for this weeks FMS challenge. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and will visit again. As always, your comments are appreciated. May God bless u and may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!
