Another week gone and another week closer to Christmas!!
Here’s this weeks sketch:
SFF07232010
I chose to put all images and the sentiment separate…..that’s what happens when your “sketch” diagram is on the computer in another room, and you have scribbled it onto a piece of paper to take out to your stamp room.. I’m sure NONE of you EVER do that?? yeah..right!! Anyway, I wanted to stay simple and not do a lot of distressing. But I ended up making two different versions. I couldn’t get my little squares so little. I used the 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ square punches, and the little scallop square punch for all the images. Which one do you like better?? Card A, or Card B? Leave me a comment as to your favorite.
You might notice I didn’t use designer paper for this one. I try to do a lot of stamping for the background so I can show my stampers how you can use your stamps and get the most use out of them. Years ago, we didn’t have matching papers and stamps. So this is a good way to create your own paper!
Card "A"
Here’s my second version. I was trying to get a knot or bow, or something.. like the sketch showed. Sometimes I take the sketch “literally”, and sometimes I just use it as a basic guide, then go out of the box and make it my own. Hope you enjoy both of them.
Card "B"

Aloha Connie, What no smooch? (just kidding!) Great use of stamped paper instead of DSP for the background. I need to remember to do more of that! I like both cards; I like any thing with an island flavor; but the second one with the palm trees in the corner really catches my eye. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your beautiful creations!
