Thanks Friend

Happy Sunday! It's time for a new challenge over at the Sunday Stamps blog and this week we have a fun color challenge to play along with.


For my card I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, it was perfect for the patterned paper I wanted to use for my colors.



I used a die from MFT to cut rectangles from the various paper and then I just arranged them in a row across the card base. I then used a 'thanks' die from MFT, cutting it out several times so I could stack it for more dimension, as my sentiment. After placing the "thanks" sentiment on the card I used a Wink of Stella pen to add some glitter. The "friend" stamp is also from MFT.




This was a super easy card that came together pretty quickly!

Make sure and head over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us. There is also time to still play along with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!

Ski-son's Greetings

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Sunday Stamps challenge and this week we have a great sketch from Annette to play with.




For my card I used the set Alpine Friends from MFT. I bought this set back in November and I planned on making some Christmas cards with it. However, life was crazy and I never got any Christmas cards made with it. That's why I decided to pull it out and use it for the sketch this week.




I did take some liberties with the sketch. The tram cars represent the flowers and the wires, trams and house with trees help form a bit of a circle in the middle. I did move the sentiment further down, putting it in the bottom right of the card.

To create the sky I used distressed oxide inks Salty Ocean and Broken China and blended them together, going for a winter bluebird sky. My inspiration for the card was Alyeska Resort here in Alaska. It's located south of Anchorage in Girdwood and last year when my daughter was working there I went down to visit her and we took the tram to the top of the mountain. The views were amazing and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day!

Make sure you head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us, we'd love to see what you do with this sketch!
