SKETCH CARD



Hello stamping friends, today I am bringing you a sketch card that I am entering into a challenge with creating with Kristina.  I really love watching her videos.  This is for this week's sketch challenge and ends on April 1st (No April Fools) 😜.

See link of her site below.

The card base is stamped with a dots all over, I added two banners and I  distressed them on both sides.  For the focal point, I used a flower with a butterfly and a leave,  and added a thinking of you sentiment.  this was a very simple card but makes a statement.  The colors I chose, are jade, pink, white and green.

Thank you for dropping by my blog, please like and comment if you like.

BIRTHDAY DINOSAUR


Hello, my stamping friends, I made this adorable dinosaur card and he's celebrating someone's birthday.

I have been having so much fun playing with this dino set.

I hope you like him as much as I do.

Let me share the supplies I used with you,


The card base measures, 41/4 “x 51/2”

I top it with a purple card stock measuring, 4” x 5 1/4” and I embossed it with the dashing designs from Stamping Up.



 I used two die cuts for the front, the plain one measures 3 3/4” the other one with scalloped edge measures 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” .

I die-cut three balloons and the dino after I colored with the alcohol blends.

I stamped the grass on the front die cut, (oh no) I saw an oopsie—ha ha—the grass looks like it's drunk.

I  added decorative gems, it looks nice.

I glued the balloons and dino in the center along with the sentiment and called it a day.

let me know what you think!

I think it came out T-RRIFIC!



until next time my friends, Ana Raposo, Hugs
