An extremely happy Friday to you my friends! It is my last day of work for a whole week! The best part, next week I will be in Salt Lake City for Convention! I’m going to try and sneak out a little early today too, gots to get my stuff done! I had a nice evening last night. I ran to DSW with Heather and then went back to her house so she could pack. She is going to Boston for the weekend with her boyfriend. After that we came back to my house and she helped me organize the apartment a bit more. Little by little it’s getting done and is almost finished! Yeah! There are some things that I would like change and will in time. Our project for this evening was my glass cabinet that houses all of my Hard Rock Cafe glasses that either I have bought or someone else has brought back for me. I have quite a few! Productivity feel so good!
My post for today contains my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Karren…
I don’t usually like to use a “busy” Designer Series Paper for the background but I actually really like this one! My card begins with a base of Whisper white Card Stock and I used a piece of paper from the Gold Soiree Designer Series Paper Pack to cover the entire card front. A piece of Garden Green is embossed with the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered to the base. The stamped images are from the Hello Darling Stamp Set. My doilies are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Calypso Coral, then punched out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sequins are heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Whisper White. My greeting is from the Good Greetings Stamp Set (from the upcoming Holiday Catalog) and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I used my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker to color one of the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and tied a piece of White Baker’s Twine in a bow before adhering it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. I love that we have a sequin stamp and how cool does it look heat embossed in Gold?! Did you enjoy today’s card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge? Let me know by leaving me a comment! I really love having you come by to see what I’m up to and I wish you all a stupendous Friday! 🙂
