Whoohoo, it's Thursday - you know what that means doncha??!! Another fabulous sketch from Tamara! I am having the best time with this DT - it is so fun to put my own personal take on each sketch. So, here is mine for this week! I decided on some fun, summery colors for this one - I am so ready for summer and school to be out! The kids have three more weeks to go - no more homework, yippee! So, this card is to remind me that it is coming! The base of this card is Pretty in Pink card stock which I then layered with Spring Fling Designer Series Paper. I used my Ticket Corner Punch and then did some double faux stitching. Then, I distressed a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock by using my tear ruler and then inking up the edges with Regal Rose Stampin' Ink. The top layer is So Saffron card stock which I punched using my Ticket Corner Punch, added two Jumbo Pewter eyelets, and threaded with some Pretty in Pink narrow grosgrain ribbon. Then, I added some stitching around the edges and sponged them with Regal Rose Stampin' Ink. The image is from the Stamp Set A Little Birdie and is stamped in Black Stazon on Whisper White card stock, then stamped again on Spring Fling Designer Series Paper and paper pieced - isn't it cute??!! I then mounted it on Pretty In Pink card stock, using my Ticket Corner Punch on both pieces, then added some So Saffron brads to each corner. The sentiment is stamped in Black Stazon on So Saffron card stock, then punched out using my Small Oval Punch and mounted on a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock that is punched out with my Large Oval Punch. Lastly, I added a piece of So Saffron narrow grosgrain ribbon, added some Regal Rose Stampin' Write marker accents around the edge, and popped it up on dimensionals! I hope you like my take on this week's sketch and I really hope you try it for yourself! Make sure you get on over to Tamara's site to see what the rest of the DT did with this fabulous sketch! Toodles!
