Two Deconstructing Sketches

 So last week, I was working on The Deconstructing Sketch 117, and then DS118 was posted. So after I finished the first one, I got busy on the current sketch. I've got them both for you today. 

I pulled out one of the first sentiment stamp sets released by  Reverse Confetti . This one is called I Like You. It's got a great mix of fonts and soooo many ways to mix and match the words to create your own custom greeting.  

The Cut & Paste papers from MME were my starting point (along with the sketch-DS117)  for this card. I inked up my words with some colors that coordinated with the papers, really playing up the Navy. I am so happy that this color is trending this fall. 

I used MFT Kraft and Berrylicious along with a few SU colors in Crisp Cantaloupe and Midnight Muse.  The dots were stamped with MFT Whip Cream pigment ink. 

Following the sketch, I tucked in a sweet Layered Rose topped with a Nightshift blue button. Two Fuse Green Royal Leaves leaves finish the custom embellishment. 

 This one is the current Deconstructing Sketch 118. I loved the layers and the square scalloped edge.

 I kept it fairly simple and stamped one of the fun doodle quotes from the new MFT stamp set, Sunny Day Doodles-Celebrate Life, in Tangy Orange ink. I then pieced up a few of those sweet hearts. I tied on a stitched ribbon and added some machine stitching. 

You can find each of the sketches HERE. Thanks for stopping by today.

DS113-Love You Anchors

The 113th Deconstructing sketch is up and I am playing. I had my Reverse Confetti stamps out last week, so I made more than one card. I showed you my rocker card yesterday, today is my nautical card.

 I hadn't used the banner stamp from the Happy Harbor set. I stamped it here in Midnight Muse ink on a Kraft panel. The sentiment was stamped in Wild Cherry ink from MFT. I needed just another something, so I reached for the teeny polka dotted heart from Arrows -n- Elements. 

I stamped the anchor image in Midnight Muse and cut it out and added it to a Lemon Drop button. This card needed that extra pop of color. I love pulling out an accent color from the designer paper by adding a embellishement in the same color. I also used the anchor border stamp along the bottom of the Kraft panel in Bashful Blue ink. I hit all the edges of my cardstock  with Walnut Stain distress ink. 

Here is the current Deconstructing Sketch. Check out the challenge HERE.

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.
