Hello

My card this morning was created for the Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  Follow the link to play.

I cannot say it enough; participate in as many challenges as you can!

You will see an improvement in your paper crafting abilities and if you are a new stamper, it will help to develop your individual style.  Even though you may be working from a sketch, you are putting your own personal touch on the creation!  Plus, and it is the big plus, you'll have lots of fun!

OK off the soap box and back to the sketch.  Here it is:

Here is what I did:

Using the Apothecary Art set, I stamped the image with Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock..  I then colored the image with Blendabilities. (product numbers listed below) 

I die cut the image using the Ovals Framelits.

Using Stazon ink, I stamped the hello from the Endless Birthday Wishes set onto Washi Tape from the Beach House set.

The bottom floral border was stamped with Memento using the Bordering Blooms set.

All this is popped up with Dimensionals on a base of Crushed Curry card stock.

Happy Stamping!

Sketch Frenzy Friday

Here is the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday

And here is the link to play:  Sketch Frenzy Friday

This sketch gave me the opportunity to use my new Hearts and Stars Decorative Masks from Stampin' Up!

This mask is great to work with.  I always change my mind about what I am going to do on a card design as I go along.  That happened on this card.  At first, I had only a small stream of masked stars flowing up to the upper right.  Then I removed the mask, and decided I wanted more,  and then more.  In short, the mask got re-applied 4 times, with no problem at all.  I ran the mask under the faucet each time and gave it a quick wipe and few minutes before I used it again.  Love it!

I used Very Vanilla here with Lost Lagoon for a subtle look, but I think it would be very striking on Whisper White.

Also, I used two sentiments on the front of the card and I think this is a first for me.  I thought these two sentiments together just make a very strong statement.
