I completed this card in a bit of a rush as the deadline is Saturday - but card making beats housework any day! lol and the bathroom can certainly wait... I decided to use my new greenhouse garden set for this challenge as like always it remained unmounted and on my desk. I have used the soft subtle colour family for this card and have not included any embellishments I have just used card and the circle and window punch. I have layered card stock on the left hand side of the card where the image is mounted and have done the same on the right for the sentiment.

I have used the colours sage shadow, lavender lace and almost amethest for both the card and ink and have stamped the flowers on to whisper white. For the middle fo the flowers I have used basic black and have used the rock and roll technique instead of using the stamp-a-majig.

I hope you like the card and thanks for looking your comments are appreciated - Debbi x x x

The first sketch this week is ofcourse a good one. I have decided to use the Loads of Love set because it was out on my desk - and I have painted the image using my SU! ink pads and an aqua brush. I have wheeled a real red card blank in real red and inked the edges. I added a basis black strip across the middle of the card and three hearts punched in real red to the side of this. The image and sentiment are stamped in whisper white and the corners are rounded. The image is mounted on basic black cardstock and the corners are also rounded.

I hope you like the card and all your comments are appreciated. Thanks for looking - Debbi x x x

This is the second sketch and I decided to do this one as well. I did stamp these images when I first got the Garden Drean stamp set last year and I have never used then so I decided to dig them out! I rounded the edges mounted them on cardstock and then mounted the card blank in card stock also. I stamped the sentiment in tempting turquoise and then used my window punch to punch it out. I kept the layout simple and I think it works!

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew that I had to enter this challenge - so simple but really effective, I liked all the DT cards and their takes on the sketch are great. I decided to use the SU set Fresh Cuts and get my window punch out for only its second outing! I chose to use the colour combination craft and basic black as I think these look great together. I stamped the image in craft ink on craft card and inked the edges, then decoupaged the leaf on the right hand side of the image with dimensionals. I then took a piece of black cardstock and added whisper whited ribbon to the middle of this. I out three brads from my stash in the top left of the card and stamped the sentiment also from fresh cuts in craft ink onto black and punched this out using the window punch.
