It's Not the Destination, It's the Journey CPS284

Good Morning,

I've got a sketch and a card to share for Card Positioning Systems. 

Here's the sketch.

And here's my card.

 

 

I used some paper from my inifinite stash; it's by 7 Gypsies. The stamp is from Inkadinkado! The card and the sketch are very simple and I'll be using the sketch over and over again for clean and simple cards!

 

I hope you have a great weekend. I'm off to a Women's Conference with my church friends this weekend.  But I will be watching the Ducks play the Washington Cougars on Saturday night and working on a project. I better get at my embroidery!!

 

GO DUCKS!!

 

So little time, so many cards to make!!

 

Hugs,

Lorelei

I entered the Retro Sketches challenge #30 today, this one is using a sketch as inspiration for your card.  Here's the sketch.

And here's my card.

 I'm going to post the card to the gallery at Kick Start also. The idea for today's class is to challenge yourself to use new products or to step out of your style box. The product that I used, like the vellum from a previous card, is something I've had for a long time but I could never figure out what to do with it.  So when I stepped out of my box and made a clean and simple card, combined with the whimsy of the Scarecrow from Inkadinkado and the sentiment from Stampers Anonymous, I was able to use glitter paper! The style I 'm most comfortable with is pretty classic.  This is my attempt at being a little less serious (heehee, just trying it out!)

Don't you just love this weather?

Warmly,
Lorelei

So Thankful for You! SC404 and Casual Friday

I entered a challenge at Splitcoast Stampers and a Casual Friday challenge today. This is the sketch for Splitcoast Stampers  I needed to use to make my card. Casual Friday's challenge required a Fall inspired card! 2 for 1!! I'm learning the game...and having a great time. It's challenging heehee!

And here's what I did with the sketch!

 

I apologize for the quality of the picture, but I could not get blogger to upload the card right side up! It kept wanting the pearls to be at the top for some reason. This is a pretty easy card. The technique I added was to stamp the sentiment by Inkadinkado in Versamark and then I brushed some Perfect Pearls (Heirloom Gold) over the top. So if you saw the original card, you would see the shimmer of the Perfect Pearls which is a fun touch. I punched the leaves out with some old punches I've had for YEARS and lifted them with foam tape to make them look like a leaf banner hanging from the brown twine.

 

I'm going back to my creation mode, thanks for stopping by.

 

Hugs,
