Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #232


 Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  I haven't had as much time in my craft room over the last few weeks/months as I would like.  Unfortunately I am not one of those people who can go and create cards when there is stuff to do in the house and my kids are still too young to do a lot of things on their own.  I'm hoping to spend a bit of time in my craft room this weekend.  We are done hockey for the season so maybe, just maybe I'll get to enjoy a little crafting time!!!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our fabulous hostess is the one and only Narelle Farrugia.  Don't even get me started on Narelle's amazing layers and fussy cut flowers!  So pretty!  Narelle's sketch is so versatile this week.  It can be turned into so many different things!
I'll be honest.  I don't like my card.  I'm really disappointed in how it turned out and that I couldn't turn it into what I envisioned in my mind!  Alas, what can you do?!

I used the tea cup from the Reverse Confetti "Be a Barista" stamp set.  I used my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers to colour it.  The tea turned out better than I had hoped which is sadly the only part of the card I liked.  I tried all different colour combinations but nothing really worked.  This is the one I went with.  I was going to try and change it up yesterday but then I had to go into the school for a follow up to something I had been working on and there went the day!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Watercolour paper
Stamps: Be a Barista (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Stazon Black, Versamark
Other: Be A Barista Confetti Cuts, Falling Snow Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!  Head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog for some inspiration!

Have a fabulous day!

Fusion Coffee!



Hello!
Happy Monday!  I have a love/hate relationship with Monday's!  I always love a new start to a week and feeling organized and ready to tackle what's coming.  But then the alarm goes off early Monday morning and I no longer like Monday's!!!  We did have a beautiful day here though.  It was warm and the sun was shining and the snow is melting!  We are expecting above zero temperatures which will hopefully melt a little more of that white stuff! 

I had a few minutes on the weekend to get a couple of cards finished!  That doesn't happen to often so I take advantage when I can!  I saw the sketch at Fusion Card Challenge and decided that I wanted to tackle that massive circle!!!  


I couldn't wait to use Caffeinated Cups and Be a Barista Set from Reverse Confetti!  I do love coffee cups (but shockingly I don't like coffee!).  I don't really like how I did the swirl on the cup but it's a learning process!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Bermuda Bay
DSP: Cherry on Top (SU)
Stamps: Be a Barista, Caffeinated Cups
Ink: Stazon Black, Versamark
Other: Bermuda Bay Sequins, Caffeinated Cups Confetti Cuts, White Embossing Powder, Double Stitched Circle Dies (Lil' Inkers), Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have a fabulous day!
