I used the Coffee and Tea Stamp set from Renaissance by Design. I kept it simple and used the Lil Bloomers created by my dear friend Sara for embellishment.

Here is the inspiration picture and sketch for this card,

Fish, Frog and Turtles Swap

I wanted to share two cards that I did for Karly's Swap on SCS for Fish Frogs and Turtles.

I did only for Fish and Frog spots:)

The first one is kind of repeat of the card that I had for the Play Date cafe Challenge using Fishy Philosophy stamp set from {ippity}. I just used some different colored buttons.

Off The Wall Craftiness Challenge #8 using CPS Sketch

I discovered Kim's blog during May papertrey ink blog hop and wanted to play with her latest challenge #8 which was an inspiration photo. I used the latest CPS Sketch #168 for my card,



I used PTI Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores together for this card. I punched out some Umbrella's from a Martha Stewart Punch and popped them using foam dots. I used Kraft, Lavender Moon and Hawaiian shores for the umbrella's. Sentiment is from PTI Scattered Showers. I Kept it generic so I could use it for multiple occasions.

In retrospect, I feel like I could have added some ribbon or buttons..but somehow this card looks kind of clean and neat and I am liking it a lot. :) I think this is another one of those sketches that I will go back to.

Here is the inspiration photo,



Here is the CPS Sketch,



Thanks for stopping by,

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Scattered Showers
Paper - PTI Hawaiian shores, Lemon Tart, Lavender Moon, Kraft and Aqua Mist
Ink - Memento Black
Other - MS Umbrella Punch, SU 1 1/4" square punch
