Sweet Sunday 13


Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I consider it great because we had to travel and we didn't have snow!! Not even one drop of percipitation the whole weekend. Dare I hope to say that Spring has finally arrived in Wisconsin? I'm crossing my fingers:)))

Here is my take on the Sweet Sunday 13 sketch challenge for this week. I really do like this sketch and knew right away which DP I wanted to pull out for my card. I had everything figured out pretty quick except what my stamped image would be. I pretty much decided that I wanted to showcase the sentiment, but exactly how was a bit of a struggle. I am happy with how it turned out though.

Here are the details...the polka dot DP is from "The Paper Patch", the floral DP is "Creative Imaginations (Grandma Rocks), the brown is Bazzill and the red is SU rose red. I embossed the red bottom piece with my Cuttlebug stylized flowers embossing folder. All the stamps are from Inkadinkadoo clear acrylic sets. For the polka dot flowers, I stamped a flower image on my polka dot DP, embossed it twice using versa mark and clear embossing powder, cut them out then added brown brads and popped them with dimensionals. I added the brown dotted ribbon from my stash, a corner punched from the polka dot DP and the SU filigree brad that I just got in my last SU order. The ink is SU basic brown.

Not bad, it's barely Monday and I'm done with my Sunday card:)) Thanks Karen for a great sketch to start off the week!

  10. HI Emily, what a lovely card! You've mixed together the cuttlebug, DSP and stamping seamlessly. The extra details are extra special - the toiled out flowers and the filigree brad.
