Inspired by Tuesday Morning Sketches!

A couple more cards to share with you today - squeaking in at the last minute for IBSIC #13, Beach Inspiration. I tried more than once to capture the scene in the photo (and filled up my little recycle bin...) and finally decided that I wasn't going to go with the beach theme, but rather with the colours. And then this happened:

Supplies: paper from Fancy Pants "summer soul;"
sentiment & cream lace from Hero Arts;
teal lace from the girls paperie;
button from Basic Grey; flower from Prima;
Sakura Stardust glitter pen;
Bundled Sage distress ink

The beach crept in anyhow. It's subtle, but I think I managed to include all the colours of the inspiration photo as well:

IBSIC #13 ends tonight, if you want to play along!

I have an early (for me!) entry for this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch (151), which is open until Sunday night. As I mentioned in my last post, I'm working on cranking out thank you cards:

Supplies: papers from Bo Bunny;
sentiment from Studio G;
Colorbox Frost White pigment ink; white EP;
Basic Grey brads; K&Co floral die cut;
standard & lacey circle Nesties;
crocheted mat by me

I love the diagonal pieces, and the triple embellishment in opposite corners. I think in retrospect the centre paper is pretty busy, though. Here's the sketch:

OK, time to feed the troops!
