Tuesday Morning Sketches #719

 Hello!  Thanks for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's another super easy sketch. Basic elements, easy adaptation.

My card features the Bouquets & Buttermilk set that I showcased 2 weeks ago.  To be transparent, I was off an extra day from work and I had a play with this one set.  I LOVE this set.  It is small and tedious, but I find that to be very therapeutic and for that day - just what I needed.  Okay friends - I LOVE THIS CARD!  Oh my goodness, this turned out so so nice.  It's a slightly loose interpretation of this week's sketch, but I LOVE THIS CARD!  I said that already, but....


This card is all things Tonic Studios!  At the base, I have stamps from Patterns & Prints Stamp Club.  Then I smeared (literally) Vintage Drops and Stone Drops. I love the gold with the rose colored of the Stone Drops.  The grainy-ness of Stone Drops is so cool!  I love it!  Then I added the grid die cut - which is my FAVORITE.  Then the jars from the Bouquets & Buttermilk stamp and die set - I die cut them from heavy vellum from Papertrey Ink.  I colored them by using Nuvo Crystal Drops (Caribbean Ocean) that I watered down.  Then built my bouquets.  This turned out a little more Fall themed than originally intended but still I squealed with delight when I finished this card.  I love love LOVE this card and I cannot wait to share it with a special friend who's birthday is coming up.  Or I'm keeping for myself - it's my birthday, too!

I do hope this inspires you and you will join us at TMS!  See you there!!

I think I love this card too! It has such detail. The background is great. And I know what you mean about working with those tiny pieces being therapeutic! Way to craft, girlfriend!

I love this card too. The grid background really makes your jars stand out. Pretty bouquets of flowers.
