More is More

Happy Friday!  It’s been a busy week and I’m looking forward to getting in a good amount of stamping time tomorrow on World Card Making Day!  To get warmed up how about playing along with us in the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge – TESC130?  We’d love to have you join us.

My sketch sample for today is a card for friend and Baker’s Dozen DT member Jodi Collins who had her second little one earlier this week.  You know I was oh-so-happy to go all pink for this sweet little card featuring the original Hangin’ Out stamp set from TE.

Today’s sketch was contributed by Sketch Crew member Rosie Hughes and I followed it pretty literally.  I loved the play of rounded corners with straight corners and the fact that there was a fairly large focal panel to play with (mine is 2.5″ x 3.5″ for reference).  I used TE Choice Snow White cardstock along with patterned paper by Echo Park – Life is Good.  I stamped the baby clothes onto the white cardstock and drew in the clothesline.  Then I sponged clouds (using a scallop oval punch as a template) with SU Blushing Bride ink and a sponge dauber.  I stamped the clothes again on various patterns of the dp and cut them out and paper pieced them.  I added texture with 2 CB folders and the finishing touch is liquid pearls.  Now I just need to get this card in the mail…I don’t why it’s always so much harder to get a card mailed than it is to get a card stamped!  LOL!

Now let’s see what the rest of the Sketch Crew has in store for us today:

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day today and get to stamp tomorrow.  So tell me, what are your plans for World Card Making Day tomorrow?  I hope you’ll stop back by here tomorrow afternoon as I have a little something fun planned that I know you’ll enjoy!
