Cards from the Weekend

Case Study #90

The delicacy of this card just made me drool.  The roses and pearls are just perfect with the simplicity of the patterned paper and sentiment.  Couldn't see anything I could improve on so decided to flip the design. Not sure fuchsias would have been quite as appealing upside down.  

What you need

Cardstock - PTI Rustic White; SU vanilla

Patterned paper - MME Miss Caroline Howdy Doody

Stamps - The Cat's Meow Celebrating You;  PTI Think Big Favourites

Ink - SU Peach Parfait, Early Espresso

Spring time Sundays ...

These colours are just so beautiful and restful, wish I had something in that slightly warmer grey, all I could think of was copics but I didn't really want to shade around the flowers. Thanks to the Less is More ladies for highlighting the Design Seeds blog, a definite go to when colour inspiration is low.   I hoped it would suit my first attempt at a Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge, one that I have had on my list for quite a while.  

I wasn't able to find a ribbon or embellishment that worked in the bottom left corner of the flowers so opted for gemstones, a huge departure from the norm for me HA HA!

What you need

Cardstock - PTI white

Patterned paper - Kaisercraft Chanteuse

Copics

Stamps - The Cat's Meow Celebrating You
