Stuck on You Sketch

Yes another day another challenge :O)

This is the current sketch challenge at StuckOnYou.

A very pretty card with lots of layers and scallops and embellishments - wooohooo :O)

The rules were to use scraps - and now I am really scrapin' my hoard!!

The Sonata paper has been retired for ages and I think it is soooooo pretty.

I added Chocolate cardstock which I chose an image from the Art Philosophy CTMH Cricut cartridge to the Colonial White card base (5x7.75") and then cut out a scalloped circle from the Lilac Mist cardstock (ret.) and then 2 smaller circles in Chocolate ink and in the Sonata B&T paper - 

the 2 smallest circles were popped up with the 3D foam tape.

 All of the cardstock was distressed using the Edge Distresser. 

The paper was ink distressed in the chocolate ink

Blush ribbon added a fun texture and mimicked the scalloped circle underneath it.

I cut the flowers still using the Art Philosophy cartridge in Lilac Mist and Blush cardstock and formed them using the new Quilling Tool. Oh how I love this new little tool - flowers are so easy with it :O)

I added pearsl to the centers of the flowers.

Lots of tiny pearls accented the circle in the center and large pearls accented 

the top right hand corner of the card.

I stamped the words Happy Birthday (from D1187 - For every Occasion)  in chocolate ink and popped it up on 2 layers of 3D foam tape. More tiny pearls were added to the edge of the My stickease decorative boarded. Another scrap of the Blush bobble ribbon finished the sentiment piece.

Finally - PRISMA GLITTER - woohooo - haven't used this for a while so added lots LOL

on the sentiment boarder and on the 3 Cricut flowers :O)

Love this card and hope you do too - Love Sara x

Stuck On U Sketch - La Belle Vie

                                               

I found another sketch site and decided that I loved this layout for a card.

As you also know - La Belle Vie paper is my absolute favorite &19 level 2 paper packs can hardly be enough for any sane scrapbooker - I am stockpiling it as it will retire at the end of January and I have a huge scrapbook to make from my trip to Paris :O)

Anyway - I decided that I could spare some scraps for a card & I raided my stash of paper,

 & added some Cruicut images from the CTMH Artiste cartridge (page 56 of the booklet).

I stamped the vintage writing and floral stamp from Jardin stamp set in Smokey Plum Exclusive ink

 on 3 of the Cricut pieces, I used the Dots background stamp from Diverse Backgrounds in

 Blush Exclusive Ink on 2 of the pieces, & on the last piece I used Sweet leaf cardstock 

 stamped in Pear Exclusive Ink using the floral & swirl stamp - again from Diverse backgrounds.

I stamped the frame from Jardin in Desert Sand Exclusive ink - and also distressed all pieces with the Desert Sand ink and the sponge from the Texture Tool set.

I raised the frame up on 3D foam tape after I had matted it on Black cardstock from 

the La Belle Vie Level 2 Paper Pack.

Scraps of the now retired Sweet Leaf ribbon and then the Petals Paper flowers 

sponged in Smokey Plum  and Blush inks added softness to the edges of the frame.

I then added Liquid glass to the frame and to the blush colored paper flowers.

Bitty Sparkles were added to 3 of the Cruicut pieces & to the center of a Black Button Brad from the Black Mini Medley.

Needless to say - I love this card and hope you do too :O)
