Surprise! I have 2 cards to show you today...amazing, isn't it? The first is for
CPS sketch #24. I really do like sketch challenges as I think that's my hardest decision when creating a card--the layout. When I first saw this LO, I knew
immediately what stamp set I
wanted to use. (
hee hee, get it? *slapping my knee*) This card came together in about 35 minutes!
I actually used three different stamp sets for it; Wanted, Starstruck, and Think Happy Thoughts, all from SU!. Throw in some touches of silver (EP, photo corners and ribbon slider buckle), some sponging, a piece of PP perfect for the whole ensemble, some soft velvet ribbon, and some CS from Bazzill, and you can see why it came together so quickly.
NOTE: If anyone can tell me who makes this PP, I'd be eternally grateful. I like it a lot, but have no idea where I got this piece.
The second one I've actually been working on for 6 days. Crazy, I know, but it wouldn't come together the way I wanted, so I kept putting it aside and coming back to it later.

It's a tribute to childhood secrets. You know, the ones you tell your
bestest friend and hope that she keeps forever? I know my
BF has kept some crazy secrets of mine for more than 20 years! Not sure why it looks all wonky on the right side, but it isn't really
IRL. The boy image is from
Paperbag Studios, one of my all-time favorite stamp companies, the word MUSE is from
Ma Vinci's Reliquary, and the sentiment and measuring tape
BG are from my huge stash of UM rubber that I have no idea on the origins of! Brown ribbon is
SU!, yellowish is from my stash along with the key and keyhole. The crown is from
ArtChix Studio.
