Sweet Sunday Sketch - Clean and Simple

Karen's sketch today for SSSC140 really threw me for a loop but after looking at all the Sweet Sunday Stampers cards I knew I had to give it a try.  I kept it very clean and simple and am really pleased with how it turned out.  I can see myself using this layout again - and I sure didn't think that when I first saw it  :-)

The base card is SU Peach Parfait and the little coloured squares (SU Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Lovely Lilac, Green Galore) were cut out with my tiny square nestie and I know what Dana's talking about now!  The little flower from Just Bugz by OCL was stamped in the same colour ink as the cardstock square and I finished it with a colour coordinated dot in the centre.  The white piece was run through SU Perfect Polkadots embossing folder and I wrapped a piece of SU Peach Parfait around it.  Then I just popped up all the little squares on dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms, Mona Lisa Moments.  It's a CAS card = clean and simple!

Thankzzz

I needed several thank you cards and they needed to be easy, fast and flat to mail so Canada Post wouldn't charge me a ton to mail them!  Here's what I came up with.

I love this cute little bug - he's from Our Craft Lounge and the set is called BugZ.  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it with my AquaPainter and SU Tempting Turquoise and Certainly Celery.  I used my Marvy circle and scallop circle punches for the image and my SU scallop border punch across the bottom.  A bit of paper piercing along the border and some glitter on the wings (of course!) finished it off.  I had a fair bit of this retired SU Designer Series paper so was able to make all the cards slightly different by just switching up the colours and papers.

Cheerio.....Leslie
