Thank you for all the well wishes - I'm feeling much better!!! Unfortunately my middle daughter has caught the stomach bug and I had to pick her up from school yesterday....it's definitely making the Ledlow-Family round - Yikes!!!
Anyhow - are your ready for an awesome Sketch??? Well, Robin has cooked up a fun one and I hope you'll play along?!? Stop by the OCC Blog for all the Samples and on how you can play along to win this weeks prize sponsored by Jennifer Meyer's new Stamp line - Stamps and Smiles!!!
Here is my card for it.....
I used the gorgeous SU Blossom Abound Set. I can't believe I own this Set forever and this is my first time inking it up - crazy - huh???
The colors I used are - Pale Plum, Perfect Plum and Kiwi Kiss.
The DP is from PTI Guide Lines Collection. I bedazzled the blossom with Dazzling Diamond Glitter. I also added some Silver Brads.
The sentiment is from the SU All Holidays Set. I inked it in Perfect plum and pierced right below it. The vertical Perfect Plum CS was scored in 1/8" intervals.
Are you ready for a second card with the same Sketch???
*****************************************
This time I used the super cute and fun Happy Day Set from There She Goes!!! I made this card for today's IC179 - Bonjour Mon Coussin. This store is featuring some funky pillows - LOL. I was inspired by this pillow - I really liked the colors together!!! Which gave me the idea to combined it with the LSC219 - That's a Holiday???. I chose the Love a Tree Day Holiday - you can read about it HERE!!!
I inked the tree image twice with Memento Black. I created a 3-D look by cutting the second image out and raising the leaves up randomly. I used Copic & Prisma Markers to color the tree - E47 (Dark Brown) and PM-197 (Green Tea).The DP is from the So Saffron Patterns Designers Series Collection. The second color is Wild Wasabi. I again scored the Wild Wasabi CS.
The birdies were also inked twice and raised up . I colored the birdies with the Prisma Marker - Jasmine PM132.
The sentiment was also inked in Memento Black. To dress the card up I chose the Silver Brads.
What do you think - are you ready to play now???
Thank you for stopping by !!! I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!!!

Your cards are so beautiful Silke, I love this sketch, it's fabulous! I'm away from home and don't have access to my e-mail and can't find a place to e-mail you on your side bar so answering here. The Bow Easy is not at Michael's. You can purchase it from Sharon Johnson, it's on the tool page of her Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. A tab is at the top of her blog. {{{hugs}}}
