Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great week! Things are getting busier around here and I'm gearing up for Jacob's birthday party on the weekend. Because his birthday is at the end of summer vacation we do his friend party after school starts. Dinosaur theme this year. Planning is a bit more tedious than I thought!
We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! The fabulous Cindy Lovell has created a beauty for us! If you haven't been to Cindy's blog lately you are missing out! Her cards are amazing!
I think I strayed from the sketch further than I normally would. I got a little frustrated and opted to use a banner instead of a square. I needed a little something different. I apologize for the colour of the photo. It looked great on my camera but once I downloaded it, I was rather disappointed. I love DSP paper stacks. They are perfect for cards and usually result in far less scrap paper around here!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Smokey Slate, Whisper White
DSP: Moonlight DSP Stack
Stamps: Starburst Sayings, Amazing Birthday
Ink: Smokey Slate, Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Starbust Framelits, Banners Framelits, Hexagon TIEF, Dimensionals
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the amazing cards the Clean Team has come up with! You will not be disappointed!
Have a fabulous day!
Jen!
So pretty with all of the blue! I agree for some reason blue can be tough to photograph! And a dinosaur party sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteA dinosaur-themed party? How fun does that sound - and even though it's requiring plenty of energy from you, your son and his friends will appreciate everything you do,immensely! Will you be making dinosaur cupcakes, too? The thought has me smiling...and speaking of smiling, so does your card! The colours are lovely from what I see, and your decision to 'adapt' the sketch is ever so eye-catching! The big sentiment: perfect! Wonderfully inspired and inspiring!

This is wonderful, Jen! Those colours look so good together and the embossed centre piece is so rich-looking. Happy birthday to Jacob and I hope you survive the party :)
