Sketched Shapes CASE with a Variation

Here's another card that I made while stamping with my daughter.  I really like Maile Belles clean style and she has a great card using Sketched Shapes. I used that as the basic design of my card but changed the colors and added an extra something off to the left. Well you know that I have a never ending supply of enamel dots and they continue to call out to me :-)  I tucked the largest dot just under the top layer to hide it ever so slightly.  The ink colors that I used are 3 of this year's Stampin'Up In Colors. I love them! They just make me happy.  Hope you're havin' a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

P.S.  I guess that I should share that I used two different whites for this card.  I really like to stamp on SU's Whisper White. I think I get a good clean image and nice color. However, their white is not quite firm enough for the card base.  So I use Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select White for the base which gives me a nice sturdy card.   What do you all like to use for white?

Stamps: Sketched Shapes (PTI)
Paper: Stamper's Select White (PTI), Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana (SU), Versafine Onyx Black

More Sketched Shapes

I have a couple more cards using Sketched Shapes by PTI.

The first is a case of a card by Maile Belles.  I love her work.  I really need to practice keeping my lines straight.

The second is also a case.  I went with the same colors as the previous card.  They were on my desk so I used them.  I stamped the 3 flag images first with the intention of cutting off the bottom like the card I cased but I decided to leave it as it. Then I punched out the birthday from Summer Starfruit paper and added the sentiment above it.  To spice it up I added the black dots to the left and a turquoise dot on the right.  Thanks for looking!

Sketched Shapes & cQc185

I got some new PTI toys yesterday and so had to play today.  Here's a card for the colourQ challenge.

I cased a card by Maile Belles.  The circles are stamped in Concord Crush, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo.  I tried to find some enamel dots in a color close to Poppy Parade. The main panel is popped up on dimensionals. Thanks for looking!

Have you ever taken your pictures, posted to your blog and then when you look at the picture you wish  you had done something differently?  Well I think I wish I had made the smaller reddish enamel dot black.  In my mind that would look better.  Oh well. It is what it is.
