Sketches

Welcome to Scraps To Treasure's February Hop!

Sketches are fun and useful for those in a hurry, gives you a guide to go by when you get stumped for idea but the sky is the limit with a sketch since it is your creative mind and showing how you have interpreted it.

This month we are using our scraps to create a card

inspired by a sketch.

Here is what the card sketch inspired me to make:

So as you know, we at Scraps to Treasures, use up our scraps to make our projects.  These papers come from a Close to My Heart paper pack called Avonlea.  I had created a set of 15 cards for a workshop using this paper and STILL had paper left over!  Soooooo, I decided to make MORE cards!  My card stash has gotten so low - it was time to replenish!  PLUS I accepted a challenge from some crafty friends of mine to make 500 cards this year!  You think that's a lot?  They are each doing 750 cards!

Anyway, on with more on my cards.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the ovals.  You can find the image on page 42, C2, < Oval3 > cut at 2" and 2 1/4".  I also cut the scalloped border with the cartridge:  page 64, E4, Shift, Font, < Arrow2 > cut at 3/4".  The sentiment, the 2 little flowers, and the "flair" I stamped on the scalloped borders were stamped using the stamp set that comes with the Avonlea Workshop on the Go kit and were stamped with Slate ink.

SUPPLIES USED
Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (Z1686)
Avonlea Workshop on the Go (G1041)
Slate Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2173)
