Bonus sketch by Angela

The bonus sketch & card was provided by Angela over at 2S4Y this week.

It's kind of a contrast having a Congrats card for Kazan's sketch & a Sympathy card for Angela's sketch, but in the process of the day, I have had a phone call to say that an old family friend had passed away, so I was in the zone when I made this card, hopefully it is ok, I don't feel my Mojo was quite there.

Congrats Flower decoupage

Kazan provided another great sketch over at 2S4Y, this is my take on her sketch


Recipe-
CS: Cardsotck Stack Brights
DP: Stampin' Up! Bella Rose (double sided)
Cricut Cart: Mini Monograms
Acc: MS Doily Border Punch & KaiserCraft Basic Pearls

I cut out 2 other roses from the DP to make it pop!!




& one of the sketches at Okies this week was a recipe to use 2xPP, 1/2 Cricut cuts, sentiment, 1 embellie & an optional stamped image. So I think this card covers that as it was designed around the recipe & Kazan's sketch.


I'm off to make another card with the bonus sketch provided by Angela. Back soon....

Joy Fold Card

I have made this card for my sister from our Mum, she wanted something pretty that would suit my sister turning 50. My husband & my sister are having a combined birthday & they have chosen the theme Black & White as Motown also turns 50 this year.

So I decided to try one of the Joy Fold Cards from Splitcoast stampers.

I combined 2 Cricut cuts for my butterfly- Tear Drop & Happily Ever After.



Firstly I cut a 1" butterfly from Tear Drop


Then I cut 2 of the Icon + Shift on page 49, stick them to the first butterfly & there you have it, a new butterfly that looks really cool. I'm sure someone else has thought of this already but I discovered it today tossing up between the 2 when, I placed one piece down & it was on the other & I thought wow I like that!!


So this was the end result!!





Something was nagging me about the finished card, but I couldn't put my finger on it, so I left it while I cooked dinner & then all of a sudden it came to me, I knew why I wasn't happy with it. I didn't have anything to keep the card closed, so I repositioned the butterfly & NOW I am happy with it!!!



A close up & better pic of my butterfly


Thanks for reading my long winded post :)
