STVSC18 - WISH YOU WERE HERE

WISH YOU WERE HERE

This weeks Stamp TV Sketch Challenge is a terrific sketch! I will be using this one over and over. I used Gina K images Tree Silhouettes for this one. I shaded using my Momento ink pads. I also used my Cropodile to adhere the eyelets to the card. I cut out my sentiment because I managed to stamp it crooked!!! The cs is all scraps. I am trying to use them up...can anyone explain why the scrap bins exponentially to the use of paper?? Why does the scrap pile get bigger and never seem to go down??

The inside is complete. I used a flower from TAC and a background swirlie stamp also from TAC to finish the inside left of the card and a sentiment from Paper Makeup for the inside. I also used some to eyelets on the inside.

I have decided this one is heading to Nova Scotia and my bestest buddy Bri and his wife Cathy. Bri and I have been since he was chubby and I was skinny!! Now he's the skinny one and me...not so skinny anymore!! LOL~!! Thanks for stopping by everyone!!!

ORANGE & LIME SHERBET WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM

This week Lee over on Stamp TV set us a Friday Potluck Challenge like no other! This is never a surprise since Lee always thinks outside the box to challenge us and make us more creative. This week Lee's challenge was to design a card with our favourite ice cream colours. Well!! I have three favourites and if I can get 'em all in the same bowl....can you say HEAVEN!!! LOL!! You got it! Lime & Orange Sherbet with Vanilla Ice Cream are my all time favourites. Orange Sherbet with Vanilla Ice Cream is like having a bowl of Creamsicle!!! OMGosh!! I'm starting to drool!!!

Let me tell you a bit about the card. The images are from one of the new Gina K stamp sets called Sporty Accessories

The cheer leader outfit, pom poms and megaphone have all been coloured in my ice cream flavour colours. I added some glitter to the megaphone's lettering with my jellyroll pen. The glitter was added to spice it up a smidgen as only glitter can do!! I have added dimension with foam dimensionals to add that 2-d effect we all love. Here is a picture of it at an extreme left angle so you can see where the dimensionals have been added.

Finally, the inside was finished with the same dp used on the outside. {In fact I used every scrap of the 6X6 sheets of dp used for this card!! Gotto love that!! No waste at all and no scraps to add to my monumental scrap pile!! } The sentiment inside comes from Paper Makeup Stamps. The sentiment and star are from their Star Struck Set.

Hope you like it. I am off to the grocery store....lime & orange sherbet are calling my name!! Thanks for stopping by!!
