Techostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Go Confidently...

Well I am back from a great 7 week vacation in Florida and ready to take on some new challenges.

I saw this challenge over at Technostamper for their Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge and thought I would give it a try

I used my MDS to print out the cardstock for this card. That is one of the great advantages of using MDS.  Once I had the paper printed out I distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and stamped the remaining images.  After it was all layered I added the string for a little something extra.

Hope you enjoy!

This card originally started out as a card for my Brother and his new Wife, but then I changed my mind when I found a saying that was more appropriate for the occasion.

I started with a plain piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped it with the French Script background stamp.  Then using Elements of Style of stamped the flowers twice. Then I sponged the edges of the card and flowers to give it a more weathered look.  

My new found love of the Spellbinders Nestabilities encouraged me to use two different sizes to create the sentiment focus and then finished it all off with a bow and hat pin.
 
The card that I did end up giving them was made at the last minute as we were going out the door.  In fact I almost forgot to photograph it.  

Still using the purple tones I die cut one of the Labels Five in Whisper White and used the Muscial Notes stamp to stamp over it.  Then using the Labels Five in a smaller size I die cut a hole in the oiginal one on a diagonal and stamped the inside with All Around Quotes.  I used the portion that was die cut out and turned it over and used it inside the card with the unstamped side out.  Finished the card off with a hat pin and bow.

Hope you enjoy!
