Freshly Made Sketches #614

I love it when things fall into place.  The minute I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I knew I had the perfect die for it.  Then in looking through my Bits box I found just the panel to inlay in the die.

 

The circle die, cut in silver, is from Waffle Flower and an extra part was cut to fill in the bottom corner.  The circles are from a Brusho background that had been in the box for quite a while.  A heat embossed sentiment from Hero Arts was all it took to make a masculine birthday card for my stash.

I couldn't let the leftovers go to waste so I made another card.

I put the circles to the bottom without the extra portion, inlaid the silver circles and added a stamped sentiment from PTI.  It's been gloomy here so no good light to let the silver shine.

Inspired By All the Little Things #43

My Michigan crafting buddy Michele Ferguson is the guest designer at Inspired By All the Little Things so you know I HAD to make a card.

I haven't used my PTI coverplates in a while and this one looks very much like the chairs in the photo.

The pink flower from Altenew had already been stamped and was waiting for the perfect challenge and this was it.  The leaves were cut in silver mirror to pay homage to the mirror in the photo.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for dropping by.

The Challenge #83

The Challenge was the perfect opportunity to use some of my Stamp of Approval stamps from Catherine Pooler.

I love that silver metallic embossing powder from WOW that I used on the little bow.  It comes close to the sparkle on the silver paper.

I spent today crafting with the fabulous Michele Ferguson, of I Card Everyone.  We played with my new Brushos, traded papers and used each others new supplies between eating, sharing stories and generally enjoying each others company.  I don't know why we didn't get a picture of the two of us but stay tuned for cards.
