Freshly Made Sketches # 224

Hello ! Today I am playing along with 

Freshly Made Sketches challenge #224. 

I have to admit, I love the clean and simple look - 

but I struggle with it. 

I am more of a layers/cluttered stamper! 

This is the sketch:

Here is my card: 

I used my Coffee Cozy and border builders dies 

from Lil Inker Designs. 

Papers are from SU! 

Words are from Lil Inker Designs, 

an older coffee talk set.

I enhance the stitched lines on the steam

 and the cozies with a Wink of Stella 

clear marker for some sparkle.

This is a birthday card for a friend that

 I do a lot of coffee talk with!

Thanks for visiting today!

You are not my friend - more of The Fine Print

Hello again! Though I would share one more card from

 The Fine Print stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs.

This time I made my card in a monochromatic theme using paper from Stampin' Up in crumb cake - my new favorite color!

I used my Lil' Inkers stitched mats die cuts and my stitched circle dies from My Favorite Things. The words were stamped in black Versafine ink. The cord is also from SU!

I added a few pearls to add some bling!

This stamp set is so fun to use!

I hate you ... the Fine Print

Greetings! Today's card uses a very cute set from

 Lil' Inker Designs called The Fine Print.

I used my die cut set from Mama Elephant and stamped the words on the tag. I used the eyeglasses stamp for my background. I used Versamark ink for the background.

Papers are from Stamping' Up. 

Kind of a cute way to tell someone how much

 you care about them!

With Sympathy

Hello! Today I am sharing a sympathy card I made for a friend. 

This card uses some new paper I got from Lil Inkers -

 Dyed Ombre Chevron paper. So pretty! 

I used the Border Builders Die set from Lil Inkers for the top of card. I cut the cloud border out three times from the ombre paper, and layered them on the top of the card.

I had some Stamping' Up paper that matched perfectly!

Then word stamp is from PrintWorks. 

I also used the stitched mats dies from Lil' Inkers.

 I added three rhinestones to the left edge of the card.

Thanks for visiting today!

Stop by again!
