Friday Sketch #2

Here it is! The second installment to my new Friday Sketch feature:

This is actually a layout I did a couple of months ago (you can see the original post here) and had scribbled it down in my inspiration journal to use again.

I wanted to make up several more thank you cards for my mom as well as my own use so I pulled out a sheet of Crate Paper and cut it into strips (3 x 5 3/8").

I got 8 pieces out of that so I made 8 cards.

The stamps are from Papertrey - their Little Lady set (yet another one of my all-time favorites!). I stamped the ladybug using Rocket Red Brilliance Ink and the black is Versafine Onyx black.

I even slightly curved the sentiment (I curved it as I was placing it on the acrylic block) before stamping it as it didn't look quite right straight (another thing I love about clear stamps is the ability to do that - so neat to be able to customize them for your project!).

I used my circle nestabilities dies with my CuttleBug to cut the circles and scalloped circles, and Stampin' Up!'s photo corner punch for all the photo corners.

I used sticky strip to adhere the length of May Arts velvet ric rac (added a really nice touch!).

STAMPS: Little Lady set by Papertrey Ink. CS: Papertrey White, Black, Crate Paper. INK: Versafine Onyx Black, Rocket Red Brilliance Ink. ACCESSORIES: Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies, SU! Photo Corners Punch, May Arts Velvet Ric Rac.

And here's the sketch:

If you upload your card using it to any public galleries please use the keyword AMYRS10 to make it easier to find.
