Sorry...I'm a little late today! It's been a crazy week...and, unfortunately, not for the good reasons. {Can we say sick husband with the flu? Or, how about...little boy running his face into the corner of the wall? Yea...that about sums it up! All are getting better now so we do have THAT to be THANKFUL for!}
It's time for another of JEN'S SKETCHES FOR YOU TO TRY. I have to reiterate how much I love these. They really do make you think outside of your comfort zone and stretch your creativity. As I mentioned in my last post, I'm in love with these paper flowers! This time I used some pages from a song book that I found in a local antique store. I added some small PTI buttons to the flower centers and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter - which is now EVERYWHERE on my craft table - to make 'em "purty". All of the patterned papers are from a new pad from PTI and I, again, used the Sizzix vine die for the leaves. It wouldn't be finished without a big ole bow - this time, scrumptious ribbon from SU!. Only a teensy bit of stamping...what a change that is...the sentiment is from A Muse Artstamps.
Well, hopefully you'll have time - between your holiday shopping trips and turkey leftover meals - to check out all of the SFYTT gals cards this weekend. I'm off to do that now...here's the list:
Amy Rohl
Amy Sheffer
Kelly Lunceford
Susan Liles
and Jen del Muro and her special guest for the month.
Don't forget that if you create a card using the sketch you should upload it at Jen's blog so that we can all oooh and aaah over it!
Beautiful! I was drooling over these flowers on your last project and had to see the tutorial. I think I may have to give these a try! This is amazing! I love the colors and all of the details!
