Wow! Where has this week gone already? I can't believe it is already Wednesday! You do know that that means though! Time for a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! My awesome friend Linda designed the sketch for this week. Isn't it a cool one? So many possibilities! I pulled out one of my favorite sets, The Open Sea, because I just knew it would be PERFECT for this layout!
See what I mean? PERFECT! Now this stamp set is still available, but if you missed out on the gorgeous matching paper, you can only find it on My Digital Studio. I'm a bit sad about that as I love them together and should have bought an extra pack or four. :) You will be seeing some retired stamps and paper on here for a bit as I'm trying to be a good girl and use up some things. I reorganized my room and found lots of goodies that need some love!
I hope you'll go check out the rest of the samples from the design team and start thinking up some ideas for your own card!
Stamps: The Open Sea
Ink: Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Nautical Expedition (retired)
Tools/Accessories: Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, Regals buttons, Cherry Cobbler baker's twine
Gorgeous card Rita, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteYou know that you are evil though don't you? :)
I don't think you used this set because it was perfect for the sketch at all, I think it was just to make me buy it!!!
Evil genius at work, I'd say :)
Rita, this is one of my most favorite sets and I loved how you used it, and the DSP, here! Gorgeous! I love that DSP also and have been hoarding it, I dont want to use it all up! :)
ReplyDeleteThis DSP is gorgeous - and you are right - perfect with this stamp set! The pop of Cherry Cobbler (my favorite color) is wonderful! I love how this turned out!
ReplyDeleteYes, your card is Perfect!!! LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Rita!! I know what you mean about the DSP....this is gorgeous set !

ReplyDeleteYou're right Rita. This sketch is perfect for that stamp set. And the DSP is gorgeous. It looks fabulous with that bit of Cherry Cobbler.
