Good Monday morning! How was your weekend? Mine was nice and relaxed; I hate to admit I didn't get a lot accomplished, but sometimes that's okay too. We are supposed to get a BIG storm today; so far just a bit of light snow. Of course the kids were up early checking to see if school was delayed!Today I have Jen del Muro's January Sketch For You To Try. There have been a few changes with the new year; the main change being there will only be 1 sketch a month and you have the whole month to complete it. Yes, I realize I am cutting it close! The sponsor for January is
The Cat's Pajamas, so I thought I would whip out some of my swanky stamps and CutUps and get busy....
I thought the sketch was a fun one; love square cards! I had 3 coordinating DPs layed out and decided to do one of the panels in vellum; I really hated covering up the pretty background DP. By using the vellum, you can add a layer of interest, but still see the pretty paper. I paper pieced the tablecloth and Sprinkle is colored with pencils. There is a lot of die cutting on this one; in the sentiment and the flowers. Since the paper is pretty busy, I embellished the card simply with Bella Dots.
Image/Sentiment: The Cat's Pajamas
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Simply Chartreuse, and Dark Chocolate, Crate Paper DP, The Paper Studio Vellum
Embellies: Bella Dots
Extras: Prismas/Crayolas/Goo Gone, Spellbinder's Nestabilities, CutUps "Flower Buttons" Die, QuicKutz "Uptown Girl" Alphabet, EK Success 3D Dots
Alrighty then, that's it for me today but I will be back tomorrow with a new sketch from Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Thanks for stopping by!
