Hello!
Happy Wednesday! Today is going to be a busy day for me! I am getting lots of last minute things ready before my husband and I head off for a few days for our anniversary! I am also working at the school today which always cuts my day short!
Wednesday brings us a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches! This week the very talented Rita Wright has a great sketch for us! You should head over and check out her blog! She also has the cutest little girl!!! Those pictures always make me smile!!!
I decided I wanted to use my Field Flowers set for this card! I see rectangles and immediately think Field Flowers! I can't help it!!! I started out with a card in mind (see the card below) but when it was finished I wasn't a big fan so I decided I needed to make this one! I am much happier with the results!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, More Mustard, So Saffron
DSP: Seriously...I can't remember but it's retired...(how terrible is this?!)
Stamps: Field Flowers
Ink: So Saffron, More Mustard, Old Olive
Other: Basic Pearls, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Dimesionals
Supplies for Card #2:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip
DSP: International Bazaar
Stamps: Field Flowers
Ink: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip
Other: Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you have a fabulous day!

Wow, they are so different...how cool is that! The colors on the first card (well, second one made) are really pretty! Love how you used the embossing folder on the crossing panel. The brown is really pretty too..a win either way!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! I like both of your cards, but I really love the colors on the first one; and the added pearls. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, I was all set to comment on the first one and then I saw the second one! That DP stymies me.....and yet it looks so awesome here, just that little piece! Incredible creations!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Jen! Field Flowers is one of my favorite sets. You have showcased it beautifully, especially with the pearl centers! The brown is awesome with the splash of color from the DSP!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous Jen! The More Mustard card really stands out for me though - it really is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love them both. I had no idea that Field Flowers would look so good in browns! I love how the woodgrain folder makes the paper look like it's folded on the first one too. Great job on both! I hope you enjoy your time away for your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think they're both pretty fantastic! First I really like one, then I look at the other and I really like that one too! Just goes to show the versatility of that beautiful stamp! Have a great time on your trip. And don't spend too much time in Target!
ReplyDeleteWow .... simply stunning creations Jen .... they are both gorgeous! The yellow is just fab, bright and fresh and that brown monochromatic is awesome with the splashes of colour from behind! Happy Anniversary!!!
ReplyDeleteWell CRUMB. Just when I think I DO NOT HAVE TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE to my wish list, I see your cards for the sketch. WOW! Wonderful work - Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Karen
Thank you kindly for taking a moment to leave a comment on my scarecrow card. I love the two cards you created with the sketch. :)
ReplyDeleteThat yellow card is stunning Jen, the flowers are gorgeous in the golden tones! Then I saw your next (first) card and thought, wow, such a great splash of interest with that paper! Awesome! Hope you had a wonderful getaway! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous, but the one is the golden colors is my favorite! I love how you used the woodgrain folder; used like this, it makes a great replacement for the crimping tool. Really, really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhile the Chocolate Chip card is very classy, the yellows really grab my heart! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I love them both, and it is so fun to see how the same card can look so different. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteStunning cards! Love those flowers.
