Tuesday Morning SKETCHES #160

My goodness, it's going to be a busy day around here! This is my first post, but be sure to check back in later on to see my first post as a DT member for Shopping our Stash :) It dovetails so sweetly with this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

We have a different way to play this time around at TMS - it's a sketch review. Four sketches to choose from - looky:

My first card is made using the sketch in the top right. Remember my woes about photographing white-on-white cards? This here is the card that started it all. 

Supplies: white cardstock;
Swiss & polka dot Cuttlebug folders;
Basic Grey buttons;
Colorbox Frost White pigment ink; white EP;
standard oval Nesties;
sentiment from Studio G

This shows how the whites 'match' in real life - but of course you can't really read it. The photo above uses Auto Contrast, and adds grey tones...but you can read it. Practice, practice, practice with the camera!

Luckily, the sweet people I'm lucky to work with on the DT at Tuesday Morning Sketches were able to give me some great tips - my original photos of this card were awful, and the card itself (pats back) is too awesome not to share ;) lol

I've also worked with another sketch (for now, wink!) and incorporated the colours for this week's challenge at Crafty Creations Challenges: yellow sunshine, blue water, green grasses. The CCC challenge is open until tonight!

Supplies: white cardstock;
birthday, Swiss & polka dot Cuttlebug folders;
Washi tape from We R Memory Keepers;
sentiment from Paper Smooches;
Tumbled Glass distress ink;
buttons from stash;
flowers quilled by me

Double-colour leaves again - love how they look!

I've used washi tape along the sides of the card base to draw in more green. The houndstooth layer is also washi tape - I covered a slightly larger piece of paper than I needed with washi, and then trimmed it down to size afterwards. The We R Memory Keepers washi tapes come 2 to a pack with matching colours, and I used both patterns for both these colours. The scalloped edge is made with a corner rounder (as an aside, anyone else use this for their scalloped edges? How is it that every time I punch a scallop, the piece of paper flies DOWN my shirt? Every time.)

The design team at TMS has rocked all 4 sketches - check out what everyone's made, and have a go at one (or all 4!) sketches before Sunday August 26!
