2 Sketches 4 You-Laura's Sketch 64

Hello!                                                                

Here is my card I created for 2 Sketches 4 You- sketch challenge.

For this challenge, I created a card using Sassafrass' Indie Girl line.  I love all the blue and green soft floral tones.  With the papers, I added an Itty Bitty image from Unity Stamp Co.-"What's Shakin'".  The little salt and pepper shakers have small hearts on them, so I thought the tiny printed heart design form Indie Girl would be the perfect addition.

I pleated the paper and ran in through my sewing machine to make it look like real ribbon. The sentiment was embossed with Red ZING embossing powder. A bit of coloring with my Copic markers and distress ink and I am finished.

Hope you enjoy and join in on the sketch challenge this week.

A Little Halloween Love

Hi!                      
I had the chance to create a little something special for my co-workers this weekend. Last weekend, I spent a time creating little felt flowers, so I added a pin back to them for a little gift to give.

The tea bag holder/treat holder was something I saw over on Beate's blog Fresh and Fun.  You can find out how to make your own here.

I used a digi image from The Greeting Farm and sized it to fit the holder.  I then colored the image, cut it out with a Nestabilities die and added to the candy container.

Hope you enjoy!

Cardstock:  Bazzill Basics 
Patterned Papers:  Basic Grey, Echo Park, Scrappy Cat, and others!
Ink:  Distress Ink (Scattered Straw)
