Aged to perfection - TMS #565

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  

Today I've got 2 cards to show you.  I made the first one, wasn't really happy with it, made the second one, and then decided I liked the first one better.  LOL


My DP is MME Portobello Road.  My image and sentiment are The Project Bin Classic Man.  I stamped them with VersaFine Onyx Black and heat embossed them.  ((I know it looks like I didn't stamp the car very well, but that's the refection on the heat embossing.))  The image is cut with Spellbinders Labels One.  I partially cut a circle then finished with Spellbinders Labels One for my frame.  The back panel is embossed with Spelbinders Maze EF.  I inked the edges to give a bit more dimension, and the ribbon is from my stash.  

Here's the second card....



My DP is Pebbles Birthday Wishes.  My image and sentiment are LOTV Far Away Friends.  I colored this cutie with Spectrum Noir markers.  It's cut with Spellbinders Classic Squares and the frame is a Recollections tag trimmed to size.  The ribbon and crinkly ribbon are from my stash.  

Here's our fun sketch...

Snowflake Christmas - TMS #564

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week's sketch is awesome and one of those that can be 1 layer, CAS, or layered and embellished to your heart's content!  We hope you have fun with it!  

I went for the simple look...



I dry embossed a scrap of red cardstock with CB Swiss Dots.  My snowflakes are all punched.  The large is an EKSuccess punch, and the small is a MS punch.  The paper is from my scrap box and has swirly glittery flourishes on it as you can see below.   My sentiment is from Raisin Boat Formal Phrases and is cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  

I love this paper!  It's Making Memories Slice specialty paper (so that tells you how old it is!) and cuts like a dream on my Cricut.  I got a pack of it a few yrs ago and only have one full sheet and a few scraps left.  So sad!  



Here's the sketch...

Hibiscus thank you - TMS #563

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!   

My card this week features the hibiscus stamp and die set that I used a couple of times in May.  I love it!!!  And today, I've got pics of my own hibiscus to show you!

Here's my card...


My DP is Simple Stories Simple Vintage Botanicals.  My image is Sunny Studios Hawaiian Hibiscus stamp and die set.  It's framed with a Kraft circle cut with Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles and embossed with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  My image is stamped with Catherine Pooler ink that I just bought myself using a gift card in my purse that I had forgotten about!  :)  And I love It!  The leaves are stamped with Hampton Arts inks.  The "thank you" sentiment is from Raisin Boat Marvelous Mom and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  


Here's our sketch...

  

Now here's my real flower... it just makes me smile!!

Happy Birthday TMS - TMS #562

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today is Tuesday Morning Sketches 11th birthday!  I've been a part of the team for 8 yrs.  :)  
We often celebrate how many years we've been going, but today, July 7, is the actual "birthday"!!  So, of course, I had to make a birthday card!! :)  (And our sketch is special today, too!!!)  

To celebrate, we've got 6 prizes up for grabs this week!!  We do have some rules, so please check out the TMS blog post for details.  *There's a prize just for Canadian participants, too!

Here's my card...  


My DP is Pebble Birthday Wishes.  My candles and sentiment are Sunny Studios Heartfelt Wishes.  The sentiment is cut using Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. The flowers are from my stash.   


Here's our sketch...  Melissa decided it would be fun to reuse the very first TMS sketch ever!



I also used this sketch for one of our Annual Anything Goes challenges a few yrs ago.  Check it out HERE.


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT... we're sorry to see some of our DT step down.  Thanks for being a part of us Kitty, Lisa, and Hetty!
