Tuesday Morning Sketches #714

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one.  I had a lot a of ideas and just wasn't really sure what I wanted to do.  I hope you like what I came up with.

My card features dies from Spellbinders, a sentiment die from Tonic Studios and an old Cuttlebug embossing folder.



I inked up the embossing folder using Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink but didn't run it through the die cut machine.  Instead I put as much hand pressure that I could just to get the image to transfer.  I liked the soft and subtle background this created.  I then die cut Hello You floral base piece from green card stock.  I did change the die a little by cutting off top small leaves cluster and moved it down a bit.  This shrank up the overall piece.  I also glued the flower blooms lower on the stems.  The colors I used were scraps so I really couldn't say what they are!

I'm pretty pleased with this card and I hope it inspires you to change up what you have, even in it's smallest measure.

I'll see you over at the TMS blog - please join us and leave the team some love!
