Deconstructing Sketch-two of them

Let's start the week off with a little Deconstructing Sketches. I made two cards the other day and used a few of Jen's layouts along with my Lil' Inker Dies and stamps. I told you last week, I LOVE those Stitched Mats- Circles!!! 

First up is the current sketch (DS112). I kept it really clean and simple and let the layers of papers really do the work here. I used a bunch of neutrals and added a pop of color with the Gumdrop Green button.

I used the Flags and Tags stamp set and matching die to cut out that fun shape. I also added the Wish Big sentiment stamped in Steel Blue ink. I hit all the edges of my cardstock and designer paper (all from Studio Calico) with some Antique Linen distress ink. 

Next up is another card using most of the same products. I used DS110 for this one. It's been in my head since the challenge was posted and I'm just now getting to it. 

I pulled out some scrap papers and got busy cutting those sweet Stitched Circles out. I stamped the sentiment in Berrylicious ink (Loooooove how it looks on Kraft cs). I also added a touch of pretty with  a tiny Mini Rolled rose and a twiney bow. 

This card was also inspired by one the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges. Today is the last day to get your  cards uploaded. Have you played along?? Check out the details HERE.
