JustRite Sketch

This was one of those cards that just made me say, ahhhh! I made the flower first and was thrilled with the results, and then I started adding everything else and was just in love by the time I finished. I used the JustRite Stamps Baroque Nested Frames. Hope you enjoy it!

Flower Soft - Garden Theme

There is a new challenge up at Flower Soft - and it's super easy! It's a garden theme. Just be sure to use either Flower Soft or a FS product in order to be eligible for the prize of 4 pots of Flower Soft of your choice.

I used all kinds of colors of Flower Soft on this Wishes Stamp from Belles n Whistles. Adding different colors for flowers and leaves, it really gave the illusion of wildflowers. I also added some FS to the butterfly's body.

5 x 7 Easter Lily Card

HCPC 3370 Easter Lilies PreCut Set

HCD 710 Decorative Oval Window Die

Other: Graphic 45 Designer Paper (Once Upon a Springtime);Banana Leaf paper, ribbon, pearls, buttons, German Glass glitter, Kreaxions punch #305, Copics (R000,R00, R01,R02, YG91, YG93), Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose)

Stamp Easter Lily and color with Copics or your choice of coloring medium. Cut out, but leave extra space around the curls of the leaves. After you have cut out, you can add some gold glass glitter along those thin edges to make them a little sturdier. Set aside. Use the Decorative Oval window die and make a cut and emboss using the banana leaf paper. Use the Vintage Photo distress ink, to add the details to the stenciled areas. Take coordinating cardstock and run the die through your machine – but this time – don’t use your cutting mat – only emboss the die. When you remove the paper from your machine, you will have the entire die embossed, which will allow you to cut it out with scissors creating a frame for the original die. Back the window openings with a coordinating DP. Add your flower with dimensional adhesives. Add ribbon and punched border . Finish the card with a large bow, decorated with buttons.

The Beary Scrap - Sketch with some fabric

For a new take on the Beary Scrap sketch, I decided to try something whimsical. The papers from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy are certainly whimsical. So that was my starting point. I also used the Fine and Dandy stamp set to stamp my stuffed owl and the embossed cloud.
For my fabric, I cut a piece of felt using my Spellbinders. I have found if you are cutting fabric, you will get a much cleaner cut by adding a piece of paper between the die and the fabric - it gives you a little more "tooth".

You have a little less than a week to play along with our sketch - and don't forget - The Beary Scrap is holding a Guest DT call. We would love for you to give it a try!
