PaperTrey Ink Unique Sketches

There are some really neat sketches to play with this week at the Capture the Moment blog for the Make it Monday Challenge!  I decided to try this one first, CAS-ing this card of Nichole's:

Finished card

Really unique, isn't it?  I chose to use aquas and reds for my card:


supplies: white cardstock, dp from MME Six by Six "Everyday Flair", stamps from PTI Garden Variety (sentiment), Flourishes #57 Strawberries, and Hero Arts #657773 Antique Flowers & Butterflies, versafine onyx black  and Hero Arts poppy chalk inks, Letraset markers

The other sketches are equally fun, and I hope to do another couple of them.  They're available for download, so scoop them up while you can!

And this will be a last-minute entry for the Simon Says Stamp "Anything Goes" challenge, too!

Lovely card Lin. Sweet and summery...the peeking strawberries reminds me of the real ones peeking thru the little plants when we go Strawberry picking...lol.

Love it! I think some of my favorite cards you've done feature strawberries and blue gingham, it's a can't miss combo for sure!

such a sweet card and the pairing of the patterns with the images is brilliant and inspires me for a card I will need next month.

That really is a cool sketch and I love the way you played with it, Lin! The blue gingham ais sooo you - and the addition of red, with the yummy strawberries and pretty butterfly, sure make for one gorgeous card!

I love this unique sketch!
I have a hard time using DBL sided paper because I hate to cover up one side...this folded method is just the ticket for that!
Your card is LOVELY.

That blue gingham with the strawberries is like summer itself! The dots are perfect with it. This has to be one of my favorites!

This just screams summer, Lin! Love the brilliant colors and how you used the peek-a-boo style. Thanks for the link, too.

You can't go wrong with a blue and red color combo, but adding the strawberries and the gingham paper pushed it over the edge - love it!

This is a perfect example of using part of the larger stamps! So glad that you enjoy this little "exercise"! Thanks for linking your card for "How I stretch my Stamps" challenge!
