I was so relieved to wake up headache free after such a horrible day yesterday and since Luis was going to work on the yard I hit the Craft Cave. The annual craft event at the Mason's Lodge is coming up next month so I'm working hard to build up some stock. Thank goodness for challenges to get the mojo flowing!
This card is based on the design over at Freshly Made Sketches and I'm also entering it in the two patterned papers challenge at Seize the Birthday. I love this elephant set from WPlus9 - they're so darn adorable! I used a Mama Elephant cloud border die and some ancient Basic Grey papers - anyone remember Lime Rickey? For some reason I have that collection in 6x6 AND 12x12 form. I must have really loved it!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Limre Rickey 6x6) Basic Grey
Stamps: (All from Unforgettable) WPlus9
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukeniko
Die: (Cloud border) Mama Elephant
Markers: (C1) Copic
Other: (Oyster Grey Nuvo Crystal Drops) Tonic
Next up is a card using the sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches and the colours from The Colour Throwdown. My coral colour looks a lot darker on screen than in real life which is kind of annoying but oh well. The flower is from WPlus9 and the sentiment is from Fresh Squeezed Stamps. Also I finally got the MFT rectangle scallop edge frames and I love them! I have a feeling they'll be appearing quite a bit...
