SMILE using a smiple sketch for TSOT

It's Tuesday and there is a new sketch for you to try over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday

 

We are using sketch # 165 (see below) and our TWIST is Bugs and Blossoms

 

Here is my Design Team B card...

 

 

I used a lavender A2 cardstock base for my card

A layer of a floral pattern paper over the top from my stash

Dragonfly and Sentiment  from old Close to My Heart stamps

I used Copic BV04 and BV13 to color the dragonfly

I also stamped the dragonfly a second time  on vellum, cut the body and wings out to get dimension

Finished the card with some green sequins

Side Step Card

This month at Technique Time Tuesday we are bringing you the Side Step Card

If you haven't had a chance to make this card, I encourage you to play along with us this month

This technique is really fun to do and you can be really creative with your card

You will find a wonderful video tutorial by Mynnette on the blog,

along with the measurements you will need

Here's my card...

  

To make my card I used kraft cardstock, cutting and scoring using the measurements in the tutorial

Solid cream and navy cardstock are scraps from my stash

My designer paper is from a 6 x 6 paper pack by Authentique called PRIDE

Sentiment from Jaded Blossom - Bless the USA inked with Outdoor Denim and Cranberry

Cricut - Ultimate Creative Series Sampler cartridge used for the solider cut at 3-1/2"

I also used George and Basic Shapes cartridge for the stars, cut at 1" and 2"

I gave it a little SPARKLE by adding red adhesive rhinestones

And finished the card with a star and red button tied with navy floss
