2 Sketches 4 You - #36 - Swan Song


Good Morning Everyone,

Today brings another awesome sketch from Laura of 2 Sketches 4 You - I LOVE this sketch with the dots and the scalloped bottom.) I couldn't wait to play along!!!!and this week's sponsor is Sakura of America. I ADORE their glaze pens - they are simply the best - so quick, easy and smooth and they give the image a nice glazed and raised look. I also love the way that it adds a whole lot of shine to the card - and since its a pen - you can use it in very small areas. If you haven't tried their awesome products - you have to check them out here.

I loved this sketch and the scallops reminded me of waves and that immediately reminded me of the beautiful Verve's Swan Song set and so I stamped the sentiment in two shades of Memento ink and then glazed them over with the orange and blue glaze pen with some dots from the yellow glaze pen. I then stamped the swan and colored the swan in with copics and then glaze it with the clear glaze pen:
Here is a closer peek at the areas that I used the Sakura glaze pens - you can see the shine on the waves and on the lines - i LOVE how smoooooooooth they are :)

Card Details:
Paper: Kaiser Off Shore Collection
Ink: Memento
Accessories: pearls from Kaiser, spellbinders, Sakura of America liquid glaze pens, ribbon from stash, sponger and dimensionals

I hope you play along with us over at 2S4U and don't forget to check out the awesome creations by rest of the DT over at 2 Sketches 4 You!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
hugs and happy Monday!!!

Harvest Blessings and more Verve Projects :)


Good Morning Everyone!!!

Hope your week has been going awesome! Our week has been so busy - it seems like every night I come home exhausted and my mojo is gone - and last night, I was in bed super early, but couldn't sleep (so I decided to come and play :) I just got this new yummy BG (Indian Summer) and couldn't wait to play :) There is just something about these colors that makes me want to crunch some leaves, wear a scarf and go for a walk in the woods, and have a cup of tea after coming home. I absolutely love love love fall - and these papers and this stamp that I used just make my heart so happy :) I used Julee's seriously mojo-licious sketch from this week (those scallops had me swooning I tell ya'!) and used one of my favorite sentiments from the new Verve release Harvest Blessings.


Card Details:
Paper: Basic Grey Indian Summer, cardstock from Bazzil basics
Ink: Memento Ink: Potter's clay and then over it with some Sakura gel pens
Accessories: Circle punch and archival pen from Creative Memories, bling from Martha and buttons from stash, corner rounder, leaf is from BG, dimensionals,

I love and can't get enough of these yummy verve-licious sets. Here are some creations that I posted at the Verve release party that I haven't had a chance to post here yet:
