Sketch Card Challenge #179
I am still here; I just have not posted in almost a week. It's
the little everyday ( but you must do it) things that kept me from doing what I love most and that is a little bit of stamping time.
Today is just one of those days...I started doing the sketch early this AM, but have to stop because of a stamping class that I did. I finally finished it although the colors seemed off. The Real Red color looked more like bright red orange.
I used the Circle Cutter to create the flower and slit punch for the flowers. I added the scallops for the bottom, too. I love the way the CB folder turned out. I used the White Gel pen to create the dots around the flower and scallop.

Thanks for looking.

I used the Build a Flower which worked out really well. I used the Little Pieces set for my row of flowers.

Happy Day Bookmark

Sketch Card #170
Hi everyone !!! A little "late" posting today but I have a very
good reason. I have to do a class today with my group. I still wanted to do today's sketch. The panel on the right side was
ideal for a bookmark so I made this card/bookmark. I used the rub-ons which surprisingly worked for me this time and also because I learned from my mistake the last time (lol).
The background seemed perfect for this rub-ons, so I used it.
The Apricot Appeal paper was leftover from yesterday's color challenge, so I paired it with the Wild Wasabi. I used the Window punch to hold my bookmark and was punched 2 times.

Butterfly Petals

I chose the CB folder for the background and for the short panel. I added the HPH and ribbons for embellishments.
