TST #74

It's Tuesday, and time again for Try Stampin on Tuesday.  Once again Jen is taking a little time off and CherylAnn has come up with a terrific sketch for us.

I love the sunflower stamp but certainly have my issues with using it.  I think I stamped this image 5 times before I got one that looked OK.  I honestly believe that I shouldn't have mounted the stamp on the wooden block, because then it would have been a lot easier to use.

I first ran the card base through my Cuttlebug using the Demask embossing folder. Then I cut out the Chocolate Chip CS with one of the Framelits and ran it through the Cuttlebug using the Perfect Polkadots folder.  White CS was used for the stamped image and cut out of another of the Framelits.  The centre of the flower was originally going to be two layers of the flower centre, but it didn't show quite right so I accented it with a button and twine.

I hope you like what I have come up with.  Now hop on over to Try Stampin and check out what the other great designers have for you.  It's amazing just how different we all see one sketch.

TST #67

It's Tuesday so it must be time for Try Stampin on Tuesday.  Jen has given us another great sketch this week.

I did have some trouble coming up with a card for this one.  I was able to go with the band, but had trouble with the background piece.

I shaddowed the oak leaves from the SU Leaves #2 Die with Tempting Turquoise to make them stand out and added a little silver bling with black floss.

The inside of the card follows along with the outside theme.

I actually started out with the card below, but ended up settling for the card above as my submission this week.  The card above could be used as a masculine card whereas the card below is definitely for a female.

I hope you like what I have come up with.  Now it's your turn.  Make sure you post your card on the Try Stampin website so I can see what you have come up with.

Hope you enjoy.
