Good Tuesday Morning! If you are on my email list, you already know about the Deal of the Week--more than 30% off the Square Fire Rhinestone Brads. You can purchase them, this week only, for only $6.99 instead of the usual $10.95. Just click here and then go to "shop now" to get your savings!
So I have two sketch challenges to show you today. Of course, they both showcase the Square Fire Rhinestone Brads!
The first card is for the Stamps and Smiles Fresh Batch Challenge. This is a sketch that I see myself using again--quick and easy!
The colors from Pink Flamingo DSP are so fun for summer! They are bright and cheery! I used Sweet Stems and stamped them on Whisper White with Basic Black ink. I used Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Summer Sun markers to color the flowers. Then I used the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches to make my circles. I used 3 of the "yellow" Square Fire Rhinestone Brads on top of the 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain. My last step was to stamp "thanks" from Fundamental Phrases.
My second card is for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. And I just HAD to use some more of the gorgeous Cottage Wall DSP and the colors that coordinate with it! (Sandy--you really do NEED this paper, lol!)
My card base is Old Olive. The next panel is Rich Razzleberry that I ran through the Big Shot with the Texture #1 plates. I stamped the flourish and starburst from Baroque Motifs using Old Olive and Orchid Opulence. The polka dot panel is one of the patterns from Cottage Wall DSP. The "for you" is from Fundamental Phrases. The finishing touches were some Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon and a Square Fire Rhinestone Brad. I wrapped the brad around the knot in the ribbon (I used two pieces of ribbon).
Well, I hope you are inspired. I know these sketches always help me get my mojo going!

I love the layout and the colors used in both cards! I hadn't noticed that cottage wall paper, but I'm looking at it now. Love the color combo and the baroque motif!
