C4C35, Curtain Call #28 Sweet Pea

Howdy friends!!!

Here is my idea for this weeks C4C35 Sketch. The color combo was inspired from this weeks Curtain Call Act#28 - using Rose Red, Kraft, Not Quite Navy and White.


I used the beautiful Sweet Pea Set from There She Goes. The flower image and the sentiment were inked in Memento Black.  I colored the flower with Copic Markers - R37, R0000 and a Colorless Blender.  The left side of my base card was embossed with the Just my Type Cuttlebug Folder and I added a scored Kraft CS on the other side. At last I added the Enchanted Evening Ribbon and the Silver Pearls.   

Have a wonderful day!!!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - FTTC65

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

I'm so excited .....it is my turn to host todays Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - FTTC65. I would like to give a quick shout out to my sweet friend Maki for switching challenges with me today...thank you Maki!!! My challenge for you is to *MAKE A CARD WITH A MATCHING GIFT IDEA*!!!  It is the time of year where Mother's Day, Father's Day, Weddings, Graduations, along with Birthdays and many other reasons to celebrate and give warrant not only a card but a little something extra to go with it! You can go simple or over the top! Whichever you decide, we would love to see what you create!!!

Here is my idea.....





I used the gorgeous From the Garden Set as my main image. The pillow box was stamped with the
Thank You Set and the tag sentiment is again From the Garden Set. I used Memento Rich Cocoa as my ink choice and colored the main garden image with Copic Markers - C1, C3, R37, Y17, YG91 and Colorless Blender.

My idea for the card came from this weeks JUGS31 Sketch. The CS base, pillow box and the tag are Confetti White. The box and tag are from an old SU template. I finished both projects by ink distressing the edges and by adding the Olive Green Checker Ribbon.

Hope you like this gift idea and I can't wait to see your ideas next!!! Have fun playing along and thank you for stopping by today!!!
